A gel-like substance is placed in a glass dish on top of a heat plate turned on low. The substance at first does not move. You a

dd five drops of water and wait two minutes. All of the sudden, the substance begins to move around the glass dish. You are not touching the heat plate, the glass dish, or the gel but it is definitely moving around the dish. At times the gel-like substance seems to divide into two smaller blobs. You watch the gel until it eventually dries up and leaves only a crystal like structure in the bottom of the dish. Using the criteria developed in class, explain if the gel like substance is living or nonliving. Make sure you are including each criterion from our class model in your response.

nonliving the heat from the hot plate is causing the gel like substance to move it's the same thing with liquid nitrogen how it seems to bounce off the floor it's because liquid nitrogen is super cold and the heat basically excites the electrons in the liquid nitrogen making it bounce off the floor same with the gel like substance the electrons in the gel substance are getting excited by the heat and jumping up and down but the substance itself is not alive

How are clouds and fog related to precipitation?
Dominik [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Both clouds and fog are closely related to precipitation.

This can be explained first by the formation of clouds and fog, which begin when the air contains water vapor. This <u>water vapor is produced when there is an accumulation of moisture in the enviroment which leads to the formation of clouds. A similar process occurs with the formation of fog, which comes from saturation, that occurs after the evaporation and condensation processes that take place after precipitation (water cycle). </u>

Moreover, some types of clouds (cumulonimbus) are associated with precipitation as they could be accompanied by climatic phenomenon such as rain and snow.

What is the difference between background extinction and mass extinction what is the difference between background extinction an
tekilochka [14]
Background extinction refers to the normal extinction rate. These are species that go extinct simply because not all life can be sustained on Earth and some species simply cannot survive. Mass extinction is a widespread event that wipes out the majority (over 50%) of living plants and animals.
