Answer:
Volcanic gases. (Ans A)
Explanation:
Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.
In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.
The given statement is True.
The transport process that does not requires the consumption of ATP molecules is called as passive transport. The movement of solute molecules along the concentration gradient (from higher concentration to lower concentration) is called diffusion. This process does not requires ATP for the movement of molecules from one place to another.
In an experiment the HYPOTHESIS is tested. The hypothesis is the assumption, that you make about something. Example would be, you believe (hypothesize) that the baking soda will react faster in vinegar than in water. You then test it out (or preform and experiment) to see if your hypothesis is correct or wrong.
