Answer:

Anomalous expansion

Explanation:

Anomalous expansion of water is the abnormal way water expands when exposed to low temperature.

At 4 degree Celsius , the density at the top layer is usually at the Maximum which makes the water sinks down and then the water in the lower layer rises up.

When the temperature drops below 4 degree Celsius, the water molecules at the top then freezes leaving the denser molecules at the bottom which doesn’t freeze as a result of their high density.

This way, organisms can survive in the water due to the lower layer not freezing.

How does a healthy body respond to a decrease in blood glucose level

Major gene reshuffling takes place during what phase of meiosis?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The answer is prophase of meiosis I.

Meiosis is a reducing cell division during which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half in the daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Major gene reshuffling takes place during meiosis I. This exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as the crossover. Homologous chromosomes are present only in the meiosis I. They pair up during prophase of meiosis I. When they are paired up during prophase I, it is obviously that gene reshuffling takes place during prophase I.

Which conditions need to be in balance for cells to function? Check all that apply.
sergejj [24]
For body cells to function properly, the following conditions need to be balanced:
1. BLOOD SUGAR
2. BODY WATER
3. BODY TEMPERATURE.
These three factors have to be in the right proportion for the cells and the body as a whole to function properly and to maintain homeostasis.
Blood sugar is the source of energy in the cell and it is required by all cell for carrying out the normal biochemical reactions in the body. The biochemical reactions in the body use water as a medium of reaction, thus the water balance in the body must be maintained. The body temperature also need to be kept at the normal level or else the normal biochemical reaction of the body will not be able to take place, due to the fact that incorrect temperatures deactivate the enzymes that mediate biochemical reactions.

Which way does a stationary front move
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a stationary front moves when a cold front or warm front stops moving this happens when two masses of air are pushing against each other but neither is powerful enough to move the other winds blowing parallel to the front instead of perpendicular can help it stay in place.
