The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.
The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.
Explanation:
The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.
In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".

If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.
