Answer:
b. passive solar heating
Explanation:
Passive solar heating is a system designed to use solar energy (energy from the sun) for the purpose of providing electricity or heat. This system is used in households and offices to absorb, retain and supply heat to the desired location.
This system is termed "passive" because it does not require any external device for conversion of solar energy rather it exploits sun's energy directly. Hence, according to this question, PASSIVE SOLAR HEATING is the form of renewable energy that uses the sun's energy most directly.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Methanogens are prokaryotic microbes that produce methane as a by-product of metabolism in anoxic or anaerobic conditions. They are commonly found in the gastro-intestinal parts of ruminants, Marine sediments, and wetlands etc. They are responsible for the methane content released when cows burp/belch and the marsh gas of the wetlands.
Methanogens are strictly anaerobic (they thrive best in a no-oxygen condition) and play a vital ecological role by using up excess hydrogen as an energy source and other products of fermentation released during anaerobic respiration. Due to this, methanogens thrive in an environment which has all electron acceptors e.g. Oxygen, Sulphate, Nitrate etc. removed. This excludes CO2 because methanogens use CO2 as their carbon source.
Answer:
The wheel and axle is a machine consisting of a wheel attached to a smaller axle so that these two parts rotate together in which a force is transferred from one to the other.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla and are also called adrenaline and noradrenaline, respectively. During stress conditions, the hypothalamus stimulates the preganglionic neurons of sympathetic division.
These preganglionic neurons stimulate the chromaffin cells to secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine to prepare the body for fight or flight response. The increased level of epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones in the blood is called “surge of adrenaline”
