Natural gas and petroleum, upon burning, produce carbon dioxide. If you look at methane and the such, these hydrocarbons react with oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water.

The claim that petroleum is not carbon based is downright wrong. Methane is a hydrocarbon, and petroleum is a combination of complex hydrocarbons with varying chains of carbon atoms, some having 6 carbon atoms, others 60, giving it the viscous feel.

Coal deposits may be found in many places, but are still scarce and poses A LOT of risks, for example children were often harmed during the Industrial Revolution as a result of breathing in too much of the dirty air. Even now, coal mining is not without risk.

The only right answer then is the last one, where nuclear power does not produce air pollution. It relies on nuclear fission, where upon the splitting of uranium atoms they release energy, and this energy is harnessed by scientists for the betterment of all.

Evolution can occur at different rates, however, for evolution to occur, there must be?

Roman55 [17]

Only the successful competitors will reproduce, mortality is very high. Four (4) conditions for natural selection. Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population.
A third basic principle of evolution is competition. Replicating molecules compete with one another for available resources such as chemical precursors, and the competition allows the process of evolution by natural selection to occur. Variation will produce differing populations of molecules.

Because organisms are made primarily of water, they resist rapid temperature changes. This useful quality is based on water's __

Kamila [148]

Answer:

High specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is the quantity of heat energy needed to raise 1 kg of water by one degree.

The high specific heat capacity of water is due to high hydrogen bonds which holds water molecules together, preventing their free movements.Therefore, large amount of energy is needed to raise water temperature. The hydrogen bonds also enabled water to store energy.

This features of water makes, plasma resistant to fluctuations in body and environmental temperature, and allows biochemical reactions to occurs at relatively constant rate.

Cubozoans are ________. polyps medusoids polymorphs sponges

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

polymorphs

Explanation:

Cubozoans are marine animals, invertebrates of the Cnidarian phylum. Its form is jellyfish, like jellyfish, but these animals are polymorphic, that is, they are subject to change of shape. These animals are part of the cubezoa class and their characteristic form is a box, bell or cube-shaped living water.

Among its main features of Cubozoans are "eyes" with some degree of development and a life cycle dominated by a cube-shaped jellyfish stage.

Cubozoans are important components of marine ecosystems, catching and eating fish, crustaceans and worms, and in spite of their cynidocytes with stinging and poisoning substances, being eaten by large fish and sea turtles.
