Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

NARA [144]

Answer:

The original organism is called the <u><em>parent (ancestor)</em></u> , and new organisms are called the <u><em>offspring</em></u>.

Explanation:

Reproduction is one of the characteristics of life. Every living organism tends to give rise to another organism. The organism which gives rise to another organism is termed as the parent. The organism which is born is known as the offspring.

There are two basic methods of reproduction. An organism can give rise to another organism by the method of asexual or sexual reproduction.

During asexual reproduction, identical copies of the parent organism are made. During sexual reproduction, two organisms reproduce to produce non-identical offsprings.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. hydronium ion.

Explanation:

Hydronium ion is a positively charged molecule that has three hydrogen atom bonded with an oxygen atom. Hydronium ion is formed when the water molecule gains an extra H+ ion from somewhere.  

This H+ ion easily form bonds with one of the lone pairs present on the water molecules. H2O is also a polar molecule and has a partially positive charge due to which the extra H+ ions get attracted to the negative pole of water and make hydronium ion. Therefore the correct answer is d.
