Hello!

The sentence that best describes what Colton discovers is D) The mass of the melted ice cube remained the same at 4 grams.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The melting of the ice cube is a physical process. That means that it is a process in which the identity of the substance (water) doesn't change, but only how their molecules are arranged.

In melting, a substance in the solid state changes to the liquid state. Its molecules go from having a definite volume and shape to having the same shape as the container that holds it, but there are no changes in the mass of the substance.

If the container is closed, Colton should record the same mass as the initial one, as mass doesn't change in physical processes.

Have a nice day!

How are genes responsible for cellular differences?
Shkiper50 [21]
<span>There are many different types of cells in multicellular organisms. Of course, depending upon the type of organism the overall number and different types will vary. In general though for mammals the broad classifications would include epithelial, endothelial, connective, smooth muscle, striated muscle, cardiac muscle, neuronal, glial, and many others. They can also be referred to based on their own embryonic development into 3 broad classes endodermal, epidermal, and mesodermal.
