Answer:

First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.

Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.

In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<em>"Maturation refers to the child's increases in body size."</em>

Explanation:

The statement "Maturation refers to the child's increases in body size" does not tell anything about the state of the patient and it needs to give a clear explanation.

Growth can be described as the physical increase in size of a person.

Development can be described as the process by which children learn different skills as they grow up.

Maturity can be described as the growth in different body system which leads to the development of different skills in the children.

Write a paragraph of 150 words on the subject ‘different ways to protect ozone layer and prevent emission of hazardous gases’ fo

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

There are a few different steps we can take to protect the ozone layer. As you know, the ozone layer is the layer that protects us from the sun’s powerful UV rays and it also protects us from other harmful things roaming in space. The first thing we can do to protect the ozone layer is reduce the use of natural gases. The gases produced from the natural gases had torn holes in the ozone layer. A way to prevent emissions of hazardous gases Is to switch to renewable energy. Renewable energy is not only easier to access and replace, solar panels and wind energy dont give off harsh and hazardous gases that mess with the ozone layer and the climate.

Explanation:

I don’t know how Many words that is. You can add to it if you feel the need to. I don’t know Hindi, maybe you can translate it on google?
