Can an autotroph metabolism support motility like an animal? Is this true at all scales? (e.g., elephant > mouse > flea > amoeba > bacteria)

Commutator noise from a dc motor will be seen as a (dependent) AC source by its supply battery. Does this small excitation of battery plates contribute to desulphination in a lead-acid battery? (i.e., is the commutator noise good for the battery?)

When some species of butterflies pupate, coloring from their skin/exoskeleton is grossly conserved into their wings. Is this because it's literally the same tissue (histology) in both, or is it because it's the same genetic engine driving the colouring on both?

Is there any fossil or other evidence that a human ancestral species was prey for a spider species? (e.g., a fossil of a small rodent ancestor wrapped in spider silk)

Can we measure the position of the LAGEOS satellites with enough resolution, such that after correcting for the influences of all the known major masses in our Solar System, they could be used as mass/gravity sensors? (i.e., by looking for deviations)
