Spiral galaxies have three main components: a bulge, disk, and halo (see right). The bulge is a spherical structure found in the center of the galaxy. This feature mostly contains older stars. The disk is made up of dust, gas, and younger stars. The disk forms arm structures. Our Sun is located in an arm of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The halo of a galaxy is a loose, spherical structure located around the bulge and some of the disk. The halo contains old clusters of stars, known as globular clusters<span>.

Elliptical galaxies are shaped like a spheriod, or elongated sphere. In the sky, where we can only see two of their three dimensions, these galaxies look like elliptical, or oval, shaped disks. The light is smooth, with the surface brightness decreasing as you go farther out from the center. Elliptical galaxies are given a classification that corresponds to their elongation from a perfect circle, otherwise known as their ellipticity. The larger the number, the more elliptical the galaxy is. So, for example a galaxy of classification of E0 appears to be perfectly circular, while a classification of E7 is very flattened. The elliptical scale varies from E0 to E7. Elliptical galaxies have no particular axis of rotation.

Hello, I see that you are studying Jan Baptist van Helmont, founder of pneumatic chemistry. I assume that you are studying gases and how plants work.
van Helmont, in his experiment studied the theory of how "plants grow while eating soil." Weird right? He put a willow tree in soil, but before doing that, weighted the soil. After 5 years of seeing the same mass of soil, he concluded that plants grew by drinking water.
So the answer would be:
- Plant mass is related to H₂O
- Conclusions partially correct.
Explain how a change in thermal energy causes matter to change from one state to another. Give two examples
when thermal energy is absorbed or released it changes the state of matter from one state to another. melting ice and freezing a liquid are examples
Atoms receive a positive charge when they take electrons. Atoms give of negative electrons.
