The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.

Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.

When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.

However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.

This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)

Choose the structures that most directly provide nutrients and remove wastes from osteocytes in compact bone.
Ber [7]
I had to look for the missing options of this question and here is my answer:

Osteocyte is the term that describes the cells of the bone. These cells are formed in the mesenchyme. Once the bone matures, the processes then take place inside the Lacunae and the Canaliculi, respectively. Therefore, we can say that the structure that allows the provision of nutrients and removal of wastes from osteocytes would be the canaliculi.

<span>Chroloplasts Acts as a main role in photosynthesis.Chloroplasts likely orginated from engulfed "prokaryotes" that once lived as independent organisms. They are also considered to be originated from "cyanobacteria" through endosymbiosis—when a eukaryotic cell engulfed a photosynthesizing cyanobacterium that became a permanent resident in the cell.</span>
