What causes waves to occur in the ocean?

Biology

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Waves in ocean are caused</u><u> by winds</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Waves are produced when there is a disturbance in a medium. Waves located on the ocean's surface are commonly caused by winds. Since waves are the carriers of energy so winds transferring its energy to the water, and big waves, or swells, can travel over long distances. A wave's size depends on wind speed, wind duration, and the area over which the wind is blowing along the air-water interface, creating a disturbance that steadily builds as wind continues to blow and the wave crest rises.

Witch step of cellular respiration will not take place in the absence of oxygen
Over [174]

The answer is; glycolysis

This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle.  If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.

Answer:

One reason that Organism A and Organism C will be placed in different groups will be due  to their MODE OF NUTRITION.

As described in the question, Organism A has an autotrophic mode of nutrition which means that it has the capability to produce its own food. Organism C is a heterotroph which means it cannot produce its own food and hence will have different properties as compared to the organism A.
