The turbine in a hydroelectric dam is turned by water to produce a direct current

Answer:

Option C,  It is turned by water to turn a wire inside a magnet.

Explanation:

In a hydroelectric power plant, the water is stored and then releases from greater heights which produce force enough to turn the turbine. These turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. With in the generator a wire is set between two magnets , which start rotating to produce AC current.  

Electricity produced by rotating wire fixed between the magnets is always an AC current. Therefore option B is incorrect.  

Option A and D is incorrect as in producing hydroelectric energy it is the water which is used to rotate the turbine and not the wind. Also only AC current is produced by the hydroelectric dam.

Answer and Explanation:

  • The cell looks like a prokaryotic cell.
  • A prokaryotic cell might be recognized by the presence of flagellates used to move (the four long filaments located posterior to the cell). There are also many pili surrounding the cell wall (the small little filaments). There are almost no organelles. There is a circular DNI molecule concentrated in a nucleoid (which seems to be the grey oval in the middle of the cell). Prokaryotic cells also have different compartments that depend on the type of cells, such as chlorosome, carboxysome, phycobilisome, and others (which might be the dark spiral circle in the anterior part of the cell).
  • Two differences with the cell of an onion peel are that the onion peel cell has its genetic material surrounded and protected by the nucleus membrane, whereas the prokaryotic cell lacks a delimitated nucleus. Also, the onion peel cell has a hexagonal shape and lacks flagellates and pili, unlike the prokaryotic cell, which uses the to move. The onion peel is a multicellular structure, while the prokaryote is a one-celled organism.
  • There should always be a cover glass over the cell or tissue we are looking at. Fasten the slide with the stage clips. Move the lens carefully in order not to damage it or the slide. Do not touch or clean the lens with the fingers and try not to stain them.

In which layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur? Explain how the nuclear fusion is created
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

A large cloud of gas (hydrogen) and dust a nebula begins to collapse

The collapsing cloud begins to spin

The spinning collapsing cloud flattens into a rotating disk

Material in the disk begins to accumulate in the center

As the material coalesces in center, it becomes dense, compresses, and heats up.

More and more material coalesces to form a protostar.

The protostar continuse to accomulate material from the surronding disk and grow.

Eventually, the protostar becomes massive enough, dense enough and hot enough to cause the process of  nuclear fusion to begin.

Nuclear Fussion isotops of hydrogen atoms (deuterium, tritium) combine to form helium atoms, energy, and subatomic particles.

Once nuclear fusion begins the protostar's “ignition” to nuclear fusion creates a solar wind that drives remaining gas and dust to the outer parts of the disk.

Then the young star stops accumulating material.
