Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.  

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.

How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a gas compared to molecules in a liquid?
suter [353]

Answer:

Molecules of gas starts movement when they get energy from the sun in the form of heat.

Explanation:

Molecules of gas absorbed heat energy coming from sun. This heat energy is converted into kinetic energy due to which gas molecule moves faster. Volume of gas molecules also increases due to expansion of molecules by the absorption of heat energy. So more space is occupied by gas molecule as compared to liquid molecules.

A molecule is two or more atoms chemically combined

An example would be carbon dioxide which contains the two atoms, carbon and oxygen

Reasons its not the other answers:

Electrons, Protons and Neutrons are all parts of an atom therefore they cannot be classified as molecules.

For 14

Remember an atom is the most basic unit out of the units we are talking about

The answer would be D

Reasons its not the other answers

Water is considered to be a molecules as it contains two or more atoms (hydrogen and oxygen)

Air is considered to be a mixture as it contains oxygen and nitrogen which can be separated

Salt is considered to be a compound because salt is made up of two atoms (chloride and sodium) in which they are held up by an ionic bond

For 15

The answer would be C (III only)

Carbon hydrogen and oxygen all happen to by atoms

Reasons its not other answer choices:

Like stated previously water is considered to be a molecule therefore we can eliminate the other answer choices

Other notes:

Compounds and molecules both are combinations of two or more atoms however they are not to be mixed together

the main difference between compounds and molecules is how they are held together

Compounds are held together by ionic bonds while molecules are help up by covalent bonds

compounds and molecules  are made up of atoms that cannot be separated

Mixtures - A mix of two or more substances that can be separated
