WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The evolution of human species in which one species transformed into another species evolves by a mechanism known as anagenesis.

Anagenesis is the mechanism of evolution which transform one species into a different species within a lineage. This process is slow and takes time to form species, therefore, is also known as gradualism or phyletic transformation.

The<em> Homo sapiens</em> evolved from<em> Homo erectus </em>where<em> Homo sapiens </em>overwrites the ancestral species and caused the species to become  extinct.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
