The correct answer is (a) Solar Energy

The difference in temperature between the equator and pole of the earth results in formation of wind patterns. The difference in absorption of solar energy leads to buoyancy forces which results in rotation of earth. This rotation of earth causes the wind flow. Hence, the solar energy causes wind to flow which ultimately serves as a source of mechanical energy in wind.

Describe the genetic mutations that you think occurred in the cancer cells that were responsible for the phenotypic differences
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Cancer cells are characterized by mutations associated with the uncontrolled growth of these tumor cells

Explanation:

Mutations in tumor suppressor genes are often associated with different types of cancers. On the other hand, mutations derived from the insertion of Transposable Elements may also activate cancer-related genes which are known as oncogenes

Question # 9
weeeeeb [17]
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.
