They are considered nonrenewable resources because once they are used, they are gone forever, and we are using way more than the Earth can produce. Your answer would be B!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer:

b. It takes 500 million years for reserves to form is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable resources because they take a million years to form.

Non renewable resources:is a source of energy, that cannot be replenished, once they are exhausted.

natural gas, fossil fuels, crude oil are the example of nonrenewable resources.

Fossil fuels are formed from the decay of plants and animals that take place millions of years ago and once they are used they cannot be renewed this is the reason fossil fuel is considered as non renewable resources.

Observation of Diffusion Rate in Relation to Cell Size
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

new cells rather than growing bigger. Why is this ?

There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger: ... If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. Cell Division. Cell division is the process by which cellular material is divided between two new daughter cells.

Why aren't you made of a few dozen, or a

few hundred cells, instead of trillions?

if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

Why don't single-celled organisms like amoebas and paramecia grow

as big as a human?     again The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. Thus, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.

A pea plant that has round seeds has the genotype Rr. It is crossed with a pea plant that has wrinkled seeds and the genotype rr
Mariulka [41]
The correct answer is 50%, or 1/2. We know that round seeds are dominant, since the round pea plant has a genotype of Rr and the wrinkled pea plant has a genotype of rr. If it helps, draw a Punnett square with the two genotypes.

   R  r
r
r

The square works exactly like a coordinate grid. Combine the letters above and beside whichever of the four spaces you chose to find the genotype for that space.

   R  r
r Rr  rr
r Rr  rr

Therefore, 2 out of 4 of the pea plants have round seeds, since a genotype of Rr means that a plant will have round seeds, and 2 out of 4 will have wrinkled seeds, since a genotype of rr means that a plant will have wrinkled seeds. 2/4 simplifies to 1/2, or 50%. Therefore, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds.

Hope this helps!

describe two benefits of multicellular organisms having some specialized cells rather than all the cells being the same
Kazeer [188]
They are better in organization and systemic communication.
They have a higher chance of survival and is capable of surviving many circumstances.

There are differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. This difference is considered to be the most important distinction between groups of organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today. 
A Eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus; more than one chromosome and is typically a multi-celled organism.  <span>Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.</span>
