The correct answer is a - silicon dioxide.

Diatoms are single celled algae. They have a silica - based cell wall called a frustule, which gives each diatom a particular shape.

Diatoms exist as separate single cells although some may be found in groups or colonies. The ones found in colonies create very pretty forms: leaf shaped, oval , star and even like a period.

Outer shells of diatoms are quite valuable. They are used in industry in the manufacture of toothpaste to give it grit.

What do the testes and ovaries produce to develop male and female characteristics?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Testes and ovaries produce  two types of hormones:

androgens (male sex hormones)

estrogens (female full hormones)

In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.

Explanation:

In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).

Urban sprawl covers land once used for food production and destroys ecosystems.
wlad13 [49]
It is true that Urban sprawl covers land once used for food production and destroys ecosystems. Many of the large cities that have come up were once fertile lands for irrigation or were big jungles. These jungles were cut down or the fertile lands destroyed to build cities and industries.
By the United States Census Bureau standards, a population of 1000 people define an urban area is completely false statement. As per the United States Census Bureau, more than 50000 people define an urban area.
