Answer:

Emerging infectious disease is the one which has recently started to spread in human population. Either its cases are going up or its geographic range is expanding. Ex: HIV AIDS and H1N1 virus. Reemerging infectious disease is the one which had declined substantially in the past but now is emerging again. It survived in the past and adapted to the new environment to reemerge. Ex. Dengue and West Nile virus

Since 1970s around 40 infectious diseases have been discovered. There are many reasons for the spread of infectious diseases. As humans are able to travel anywhere they are getting exposed to foreign environment a lot. Population is also increasing which has lead to people living very close to each other. Contact with animals has also increased leading to exposure to various new pathogens.

Finger [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Photosynthesis. To conduct photosynthesis, you need chloroplasts and these are found in the leaves which is why the leaves are green. Roots don't have them and they aren't exposed to the sun and don't create energy using photosynthesis. They do however absorb nutrients from the soil.</span>

True or false Evaporation is an example of a chemical change
dmitriy555 [2]
False. Evaporation is a physical change it is not a chemical change. It is a physical change because it is going from the liquid phase to the gas phase. It is not a chemical change because it is still made of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom.
