Answer: C.  Dead snake fossilizing underground.

A fossil fuel is the fuel that is formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of dead plants and animals underground. These organisms and their remains remain deep inside the depth of numerous layers of soil resulting in fuel produced after millions of years. A carbon sink refers to a natural or artificial reservoir that stores and absorbs atmospheric carbon by physical and biological process. The formation of fossil fuel inside the earth is carbon sink.  

Dead snake will be added as a matter on which biological activity called as decomposition will take place. The organic matter of dead snake will be decomposed by microbes in the soil. The organic matter being the source of carbon, after decomposition will become the reservoir of carbon in the form of fossil fuel.

Therefore, dead snake fossilizing underground is the example of carbon source becoming a carbon sink.

Licemer1 [7]

When cells makes a new compound, such as glycogen from many glucose molecules, usable energy is needed and is obtained by removing a phosphate group from ATP, producing energy plus ADP plus phosphate.

<h3>What is ATP?</h3>

This is referred to as adenosine triphosphate and is the energy currency of the cells.

This is  usually formed from the synthesis of ADP and a phosphate group thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

The San Andreas fault is a transform fault. The map below shows a student's approximation of where the fault line crosses throug
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: Movement along fault line

Explanation:

Here's the remainder of the question:

Which map best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years?

A transform fault is simply refered to a as a fault that occurs along the plate boundary such that the motion in such case is horizontal and ends when there's a connection with another plate boundary.

Based on the question, the map that best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years will be a movement along fault line.

What is pollination? Identify three ways pollen can be transferred. How is cross-pollination different
Stells [14]

Answer:

The transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization. It can be transferred by things that feed from what has pollen. Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.
