<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The property is that </u><u>water expands when it freezes and oxygen is trapped inside</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its liquid form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. As a result, fish and other aquatic animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds. The oxygen is present in water under the ice and this oxygen is used for breathing by the marine and aquatic animals.

Which of the following denotes the divisions of the geologic time scale in correct order of decreasing lengths of time beginning
Stels [109]

Answer:

d. eon, era, period, epoch

Explanation:

The geological time scale has been made so that the scientists can have a practical system about the classification of geological time, thus everything that has happened throughout it. The geological time unites have been defined in accordance with important events that have happened, thus marking their end or beginning. These events can be mass extinctions, catastrophes, climate patterns, domination of certain species etc. The longest of these time units is the eon, lasting for more than half a billion years, and up to 2 billion years. The era comes as the second longest time unit, lasting for several hundred million years. The period lasts for several tens of million years, and the epoch is the smallest unit, lasting for few million years, or several hundred thousand years.

How would shoot and root growth be affected by a mutation that caused plants to lose the ability to polymerize glucose into star
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) Lateral branch shoots would grow more horizontally and have less of a tendency to turn upward.

d) Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

e) Roots breaking the soil surface would grow upward.

Explanation:

Inside the amyloplasts of the common bean the starch granules resemble variously sized cotton balls stuffed into a balloon. Under normal circumstances amyloplasts do nothing more than sit on the bottom of special gravity-sensing cells. When a plant is knocked over, the amyloplasts slide from what was recently the bottom of the cell onto a formerly vertical wall. Somehow, this movement is sensed and relayed to cells that secrete the growth-regulating plant hormone auxin.

Since the plant has lost the ability to transform glucose into the granules. The plant can´t differentiate between up or down because gravity is what causes these granules to settle down.
