When you touch a hot plate, the transfer of heat from the plate to your hand is called Conduction.

Conduction is the answer you are looking for.

The right answer is Conduction.

Thermal conduction (or thermal diffusion) is a mode of thermal transfer caused by a temperature difference between two regions of the same medium, or between two media in contact, and being realized without global displacement of material (on a macroscopic scale ) as opposed to convection which is another heat transfer. It can be interpreted as the transmission from near to thermal agitation: an atom (or a molecule) gives up some of its kinetic energy to the neighboring atom.

Thermal conduction is a process of internal energy transport linked to molecular agitation and due to heterogeneity of the medium on a macroscopic scale.

Wittaler [7]

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just cannot pass the information along. This disease most likely affects the axon of the neurons. Since axon is the signal transmitting end of the neuron, if the fusion of the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters with the cell membrane around the synaptic cleft is hampered, then the signal transmission gets disrupted.

Which of the following is a source of energy made from plant and animal remains?
bixtya [17]
Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.

In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources.

These are sometimes known instead as mineral fuels.

The utilization of fossil fuels has enabled large-scale industrial development and largely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat.

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.

A small portion of hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide, and thus do not increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
