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.

State if the body had been dead for more than or less than 12 hours based on the number of degrees lost (19 degrees). *
KiRa [710]

After the first 12 hours, the body loses about 0.39°C (0.7°F) per hour. than 12 hours. you use the rate of 0.78°C per hour to estimate the time of death. Temperature of dead body is 32.2°C (90°F)

Explanation:

This phase is known as algor mortis, or the death chill. Each hour, the body temperature falls about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.83 degrees Celsius) until it reaches room temperature. At the same time, without circulation to keep it moving through the body, blood starts to pool and settle.

he decrease in body temperature follows a somewhat linear progression: 3  two degrees Celsius in the first hour; one degree each hour thereafter.

LenaWriter [7]
That the Red flowers are a dominant trait, and the white flowers would be recessive.  

The Red Flowers are Homogenous Dominant
In a punnet square, The Genotype ratio for the red flowers would be 2:2 
The phenotype would be 4:0 

For the white flower 
The Genotype would be 1:1
and the phenotype would be 1:0

Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____
mash [69]

Answer:

1) Basilar membrane

2) Stereocilia or hair cells

3) Nerve cells

4) Auditory

5) Temporal lobe

Explanation:

Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.  

Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.

Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.

Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.
