Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.

Which statement accurately describes the origin and expansion of the universe?
stira [4]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Cosmic background radiation is leftover thermal energy from the Big Bang best describes the origin and expansion of the universe.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The "Big Bang Theory" is used to describe how the universe has begun.
  • The theory basically states that the "universe" began as a "single point" and then "expanded and stretched" and is expanding even today.
  • When the universe began, it was "hot tiny particles" mixed with heat and light and as it "expanded" and took up "more space", it cooled down and formed atoms.
  • The "best evidence of the big bang" is the radiation of cosmic background that was leftover when the first big bang explosion took place and began the universe.
