Answer/Explanation: On Mercury temperatures can get as hot as 430 degrees Celsius during the day and as cold as -180 degrees Celsius at night.
Mercury is the planet in our solar system that sits closest to the sun. The distance between Mercury and the sun ranges from 46 million kilometers to 69.8 million kilometers. The earth sits at a comfy 150 million kilometers. This is one reason why it gets so hot on Mercury during the day.
The other reason is that Mercury has a very thin and unstable atmosphere. At a size about a third of the earth and with a mass (what we on earth see as ‘weight’) that is 0.05 times as much as the earth, Mercury just doesn’t have the gravity to keep gases trapped around it, creating an atmosphere. Due to the high temperature, solar winds, and the low gravity (about a third of earth’s gravity), gases keep escaping the planet, quite literally just blowing away.
Atmospheres can trap heat, that’s why it can still be nice and warm at night here on earth.
Mercury’s atmosphere is too thin, unstable and close to the sun to make any notable difference in the temperature.
Space is cold. Space is very cold. So cold in fact, that it can almost reach absolute zero, the point where molecules stop moving (and they always move). In space, the coldest temperature you can get is 2.7 Kelvin, about -270 degrees Celsius.
Sunlight reflected from other planets and moons, gases that move through space, the very thin atmosphere and the surface of Mercury itself are the main reasons that temperatures on Mercury don’t get lower than about -180 °C at night.
The answer is D. Hope this helps!
Answer:
"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.
"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.
These statements are true, however:
SUNLIGHT
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
MINERALS
OXYGEN
PLANT SUGARS
Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.
Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).

Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C.
Explanation:
The survivorship curves are the representation of the proportion of individuals of the given species which are alive at different ages in the population of species. The curves are represented in the form of a graph with the number of individuals plotted on the y-axis to the age of survivorship on the x-axis.
The survivorship curves are of three types: Type I, II and III out of which type three represents the population with equal probability of dying at all age groups. This is represented by a straight line on the graph.
Thus, Option-c is the correct answer.
