Details about comets are described below.

Explanation:

  • A comet is a very small solar system body made mostly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are no larger than a few kilometres across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices.
  • Sometimes comets are referred to as “dirty snowballs” or “cosmic snowballs”. Comets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths – just like the planets.A comet has four components: a nucleus, a coma, a dust tail and an ion tail. The nucleus of a comet contains the vast majority of its total mass.
  • Comets are icy bodies in space that release gas or dust. They are often compared to dirty snowballs, though recent research has led some scientists to call them snowy dirtballs. Comets contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and more.
  • Comets are made of water, ice, dust, and gasses likes carbon monoxide and methane. After identifying what is in the nucleus, you will know what the coma and tail are made of.

Which type of transport requires energy to move a molecule?
wlad13 [49]

Active transport

requires energy. This is because it is going against the natural process of diffusion. Substances diffuse when their net movement is down the concentration gradient (from higher concentration to lower). Active transport is movement from lower concentration to higher. Cytosis (phagocytosis , pinocytosis) also requires energy.

The best way to gain weight is to increase your _______ intake.
Katarina [22]


The best answer is D.

Carbohydrates get  rapidly digested and are quickly converted to glucose . Once glucose levels in the blood rise, insulin that is produced by the pancreas begins to remove excess glucose from the blood and  stimulates the liver to turn it into a type of starch called glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles.

However the body can only store a limited amount of glycogen so the excess glucose is stored as body fat (adipose tissue). This is the process of putting on weight.

20 heterozygous purple flowering pea plants are crossed. If purple is dominant over white, what are the expected phenotypic resu
Elenna [48]
Let's call the colour alleles C for dominant purple, and c for recessive white.

We have crossed Cc with Cc.  So if we put that in a Punnett square, we'd have a CC, two Cc and a cc.  That would give us a 3:1 ratio of purple to white, so you'd expect 15 purple and 5 white flowers. :)
