Phytoplankton use sunlight to gain energy through photosynthesis. As a result of the Law of Conservation of Energy, phytoplankto

n cannot gain more energy than it consumes. A closed system consisting of an aquarium, phytoplankton, and sunlight is set up. Which of the following methods would best demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Energy? (3 points)
A) Measure the mass and temperature of the water. Then cover the aquarium to block the sunlight and measure the mass of the phytoplankton.
B) Change the closed system to isolated, so that energy can move out of it. Then measure the amount of energy that leaves.
C) Measure the mass of the phytoplankton before and after photosynthesis. Add the mass of the water.
D) Measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton and the amount of light entering the aquarium. Then measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton after exposure to the light and determine the difference.
E) Measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton and the amount of light entering the aquarium. Then measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton after exposure to the light and determine the difference.

Measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton and the amount of light entering the aquarium. Then measure the amount of energy in the phytoplankton after exposure to the light and determine the difference.

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons like most of the plants use chlorophyll, sunlight and carbon di-oxide for photosynthesis but it depends on other organisms to consume extra energy as they are unable to gain enough energy from their consumption of light. This differs among the different species of planktons.

It can be observed in an aquarium that a phytoplankton is gaining less energy than the energy they have absorbed by the light and this can be done by measuring the energy before and after the photosynthesis.

In place of thymine, what does RNA use as a base <br><br> Please help
11111nata11111 [884]
The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.

If you are driving down the road, how do you know that the car is moving (think about your reference point)?
NISA [10]
If your car is changing speed by accelerating or decelerating, or changing directions by turning or hitting a bump, your body can sense these accelerations. You might be pressed against the back of your seat while speeding up or against the car door as you turn for example. If you are cruising at a constant speed, with no changes in speed or direction, you wouldn't be able to feel it. You would need to use your other senses. You could see the scenery going by through the windows, with closer objects moving by more quickly than objects in the distance. You could also hear sounds like the wind rushing by and the hum of the tires rolling on the highway.
