correct description of how the sun transfers heat to Earth? The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter. Convection cannot occur in gases. Earth can absorb heat only in the form of radiation. Electromagnetic waves do not carry energy.

Answer: The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter.

Explanation:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

1. Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

Thus convection can not take place between earth and sun as there is no liquid or gas present for movement of heat. The heat is transferred from sun to earth by radiation as it occurs through space.

Answer:

Option A, The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter

Explanation:

For convection to take place some medium is required for heat to travel.  

Basically convection takes place when heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature which also requires matter motion. Since the space between earth and sun is a vacuum, therefore convection cannot take place.  

However, sun provides heat to earth through radiation as it does not require a medium for travelling.  

Hence, option A is correct

One of the four species of protozoan in the genus Plasmodium is responsible for the acute or subacute infectious disease known as malaria.

<h3>A virus or a bacteria causes malaria?</h3>
  • A virus or bacteria cannot cause malaria.
  • Plasmodium, a parasite that often spreads through infected mosquitoes, is what causes malaria.
  • A mosquito consumes Plasmodia that are present in blood when it feeds on an infected human.
<h3>How do protozoa cause malaria?</h3>
  • The female anopheles mosquito bite is the primary method of transmission of malaria, a protozoan infection of the red blood cells.
  • The Plasmodium genus of protozoa is what causes malaria.
  • Four different types of malaria parasites can infect people: Plasmodium malariae, vivax, ovale, and falciparum

a cell is placed in a solution of 3% starch and 3% glucose. After several hours, glucose is detected outside of the cell, but st
Alex17521 [72]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.

Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.

The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
