<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In Earth, only one living organism is able to trap Solar energy or energy from sun with the help of a pigment known as Chlorophyll, and that organism is none other than Green plants.

Why Green plants? Because, Chlorophyll is a n coloured pigment which can trap the sunlight for photosynthesis which is the process of making glucose from raw materials in plants.

Rest options:

Rocks and water are non living organism and can't trap the solar energy. And, animal bodies don't have Chlorophyll pigment, they even obtain their food from plants directly or indirectly.

Hence, the Correct Option is:

$\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \red{Option \: B}}}}$

And we are done !!

The wavelength of a particular color of violet light is 433 nm. The energy of this wavelength of light is kJ/photon. (109 nm = 1

mash [69]

Answer:

4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ/photon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Wavelength of the violet light (λ): 433 nm

Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Speed of light (c): 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s

Step 2: Convert "λ" to meters

We will use the conversion factor 1 m = 10⁹ nm.

433 nm × 1 m/10⁹ nm = 4.33 × 10⁷ m

Step 3: Calculate the energy (E) of the photon

We will use the Planck-Einstein's relation.

E = h × c/λ

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s × (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)/4.33 × 10⁷ m

E = 4.59 × 10⁻³³ J = 4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ

What type of chemical reaction will occur when iron (III) hydroxide is heated and forms new products?

Leni [432]

Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction in which a compound is broken down into its constituent elements sometimes under the influence of heat.

When iron (III) hydroxide is heated,new products are formed according to the equation; 2Fe(OH)3 -----------> Fe2O3 + 3H2O.

This is a thermal decomposition reaction.

The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77 kelvin. It is observed that ice forms at the opening of a container of liquid nitroge

icang [17]

Answer:

The answer is "The First choice".

Explanation:

The whole question can be found in the file attached.

The water vapor inside the air freezes thru the entrance of its nitrogen. This is because liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature and seems to be sufficiently cold to condensed and freeze the steam of water. At air pressure, it has a boiling temperature of -196°C. Freezing the skin producing freeze or cold burns can be associated with direct contact.

How is gas pressure useful

natka813 [3]

Answer: Gas pressure is employed in a variety of industrial operations, and it was the catalyst for the industrial revolution. Many industrial machines were powered by steam in the early twentieth century. To heat the water molecules inside massive boilers, wood was burned.

during a bread making process glucose is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide causing the bread dough to rise by itself this

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Zymase is acting as a catalyst

Explanation:

Zymase is an enzyme that is naturally produced in yeast. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rates of reactions in living things.

Zymase catalyses the breakdown of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide, which causes the bread to rise.

Zymase speeds up this reaction, but is not physically changed itself. Therefore, it is a catalyst.

Actually, zymase represents a collection of enzymes in yeast, not just one!
