The amount is always constant. The answer is letter A. The carbon atom is recycle in the biosphere. It may take different forms but it is still the same carbon atom. Carbon in fuel may turn into carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide after it it burned. The CO2 may then be used up by the plants as fuel to make another form of carbon based compounds such as sugar (glucose). For more information, I suggest looking up the carbon cycle.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct
klasskru [66]
I would say C is the most correct. 
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future. 
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.

The building block of a nucleic acid, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the organic molecules which serve as monomer units for the formation of nucleic acid polymers which are the deoxyribonucleic acid and the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and both are the essential biomolecules within the life on the Earth.

Nucleotides are building blocks of the nucleic acids. They are the molecules which are composed of three sub units which are:  

  • Nitrogenous base which is also called as nucleobase
  • Five-carbon sugar  which can be ribose or deoxyribose
  • At least one phosphate group which is attached to the sugar.

Suppose you were required to make a solution by diluting 20.0 mL of an aqueous solution to a final volume of 750 mL.
torisob [31]
The first thing you do before performing anything in the laboratory is to read the procedure and prepare the materials needed. Next, if you already have the solution where you are supposed to take your 20 mL sample, then have it near you. Then, prepare a volumetric flask (750 mL) and a 20-mL pipette. Wash the pipette 3 times with the sample solution. If your diluent is water, wash the flask 3 times with water. Now, get 20 mL of sample from your parent solution, then add it to the flask (previously washed with water). Finally, add water until the mark in the flask and make sure that the water added is up to the mark based on the lower meniscus reading to be accurate in the amount inside the flask. <span />
