Answer:

C It moves in an orbit around Jupiter.

Explanation:

A moon is a natural satellite of some planet and is recognized as the star that circulates around a main planet, that is, does not orbit around a star, that is, to be considered moon, the star must move in a orbit around a planet. Some moons are larger than some major planets, such as Ganymede and Titan, natural satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, which are larger than Mercury. Thus, if the orbit of these moons were around the Sun, they could be considered as planets, but their orbits are around the planet Jupiter or Saturn, so they are considered moons.

How would you account for the fact that fossils of fish are not present in the older layers of rock?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The fish did not yet exist when the old layers of rocks were deposited. In fact, animals with hard parts did not evolve until about 600 million years ago, which is only about 13% of the 4.5 billion year age of the Earth. Multicellular animals without hard parts left tracks in older sediments, but had no fossilize-able body parts.

Lilit [14]

George is lifting weights. He starts by doing biceps curls which involves flexing his elbows.  His elbow is able to bend because the humero-ulnar joint is a hinge joint.  Sam is doing leg presses, extending his knees as he pushes against the weights. Meanwhile, Jane is doing "lat pulls" by pulling downward on a weighted bar. This movement involves adduction of her arms.  Her shoulder joint is a  ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of movements.
