The answer is C.)sending them on the shuttle to be suspended in space. This is the answer because  after  the nuclear fuel rods come out of the reactor, they go into a deep pool to cool off. Then they are then stored in concrete and lead-lined casks for dry storage, until, ultimately, the US government builds a deep underground storage facility to house them permanently. They are never sent on the shuttle to be suspended in space<span>. It would be too costly and too dangerous.</span>

vfiekz [6]

I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.

Answer:

All the given choices

Explanation:

Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.

Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;

  • An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
  • Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
  • They can join together to form rings or chains.

The disease osteoporosis often results from insufficient intake of dietary calcium salts. Of the three samples of bone you teste
Fittoniya [83]

The correct answer is the one that shows a bone having the most porous appearance inside.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the different types of bone tissue that make up bone ("cortical bone" and "trabecular bone").

It is a disease that is related to a decrease in the amount of bone tissue in the bones and / or an alteration of its structure: thinning of the cortex and bone trabeculae that become porous.

The cause is an imbalance between the deficit activity of osteoblasts and normal osteoclastic bone resorption.

These statements describe three different reactions.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 2 - The nucleus of an atom is split apart

Explanation: Any reaction involving the nucleus of an atom is called a nuclear reaction. It is different from ordinary chemical reactions that involve electrons because it involves the release of large amount of energy. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

A nuclear reaction in which a nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller atoms with a release of large amount of energy is called nuclear fission. A nuclear reaction that involves the combination of lighter nuclei of elements to form heavier atoms that are more stable with the release of a large quantity of energy is called nuclear fusion.

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.  

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst.  The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.  

The fetus development continues until birth.
