Answer:

C. An earthquake causes a rockslide.

Explanation:

A physical change is the type of change which does not change the chemical properties of the substance. If an earthquake causes a rockslide in this case the chemical property of the rock still remains the same so it will be a physical change.

All other options are chemical changes because the chemical properties of the substrates will be changed after the completion of process.

When a bird will digest a worm, the proteins of the worm will be broken down into amino acids which will further be converted into energy molecules known as ATP.

During photosynthesis inorganic carbon dioxide & water will be converted into organic bio-molecule known as glucose, the properties of glucose are entirely different from carbon dioxide & water.

Rusting is a chemical process because during rusting iron which is a metal is converted into inorganic molecule iron oxide and the chemical properties of iron oxide are entirely different from iron.

A dog eats a pound of dog food. What happens to the energy and chemical nutrients in the food over the next several days?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The energy is mostly released as heat through the dog's activities; the nutrients either become part of the dog's body or are released to the ecosystem as wastes like urine, feces, and exhaled gases.

Explanation:

  • The food that is consumed by an organism is digested and the nutrients obtained from the food are partly absorbed by the digestive system and assimilated and stored into the body and the nutrients that are not absorbed are released in the form of feces.
  • The chemical energy obtained from the food is released in the form of heat through the activities that are done by the dog.

What purpose does pyruvate serve in cellular respirations
scoundrel [369]
In order to survive, all the cells in your body need energy. ... To provide this energy, your cells must break down the glucose in your food during a process called glycolysis and convert it into pyruvate<span>, sometimes called pyruvic acid, and the molecule that feeds the Krebs cycle, our second step in </span>cellular respiration<span>.</span>

Define mass and explain how it affects an object's density.
Klio2033 [76]

Great Question! Mass is basically how heavy Something is. Most people confuse mass with weight but there very different from each other. Weight is the downward force something has because of gravity. Mass can be measured in a variety of units too. The second part of the question is how it affects density. It affects it because to find the density you need to be able to find the mass since the formula is Mass divided by volume. I hope this helped you understand a little bit more about mass. Have a great day!
