Answer : The correct option is, (C) photosynthesis

Explanation :

Photosynthesis : It is a chemical process that occurs in the green plants. During photosynthesis process, carbon dioxide reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to gives glucose as a product and oxygen as a byproduct. In the photosynthesis reaction, carbon dioxide and water molecule are the reactants.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2$

Whereas the combustion , decomposition and respiration are the chemical reactions in which the carbon dioxide is produced as a product.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) photosynthesis

Answer:

For example, if the seeds that the bird needs to eat is bigger, over time it will adapt to get a bigger beak to eat the bigger seed. The birds that have adapted reproduce and soon more and more birds that have a bigger beak for the bigger seed are more common. If the type of food available changes than the bird will most likely adapt to eat that food.

A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams and a volume of 8 cubic centimeters. When the rock is cut in half, what is the volume and d

spayn [35]

Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Answer:

C.) Selective pressure

Explanation:

Selective pressure is a natural process that occurs in nature in which certain phenotypes are favored in certain environments. When we say these phenotypes are favored, this means individuals with these phenotypes have a better chance at survival and reproduction in particular environments. Certain phenotypes may be beneficial in some environments but harmful in others.
