Answer:

Increase in kinetic energy of the gases

Explanation:

The direct sunlight will heat up the molecules making up the gases in the balloon.

Kinetic energy resulting from the heating of these particles will make them become randomized. They then begin to move more haphazardly colliding vigorously with themselves and the wall of balloon.

According to Charles's law "the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided pressure remains constant" .

The sunlight heats the balloon and causes a rise in temperature. This will make the gas volume to increase and the balloon expands.

Approximately 99% of the microbes in the intestines are obligate anaerobes. We have plenty of blood vessels that can bring oxyge
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The human gastrointestinal microbiota or the gut microbiota or the gut flora refers to the microbes, which thrive in the digestive tracts of humans. The human gastrointestinal tract comprises the gathering of all the genomes of gut microbiota. It is the niche where the human microbiota is found.  

The microbial composition of the gut microbiota differs across the digestive tract. In the small intestine and stomach, very small species of bacteria are found, while the colon comprises the densely populated microbial ecosystem. Of these over 99 percent of the bacteria found in the gut are anaerobes, as the space within the intestines is highly anaerobic.  

These microbes are confined deep within the body where oxygen cannot reach as it is not supplied with the help of blood vessels. Thus, a highly anaerobic environment is witnessed deep within the intestinal regions.

What is an example of reactivity?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

D. A bicycle rusting.

Explanation:

A. is incorrect because tearing a piece of paper is a physical change, not a chemical change.

B. is incorrect because we are just heating up the object. That only changes how fast the particles are moving and the change in state of matter.

C. is incorrect because we are adding heat to change a state of matter (from solid to liquid) and it is a physical change.

Therefore, only D. is the correct answer. Iron rusts, and when it does, it chemically changes into an iron oxide (rust).
