Answer;
-The less dense, the more the ice will float, allowing animals to stay afloat and not in the water
Explanation;
-When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
-This means that ice floats on water and that lakes freeze from the top down to the bottom.This is vital for animals that live on ice, as their habitats would be greatly reduced or not exist at all if ice sank.
The right answer is C
This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).
Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.
Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).
NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
