Answer:

D. Thermal expansion

Explanation:

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

can be defined as the gradual disintegration of rock into smaller particles which later turn into soil. when mechanical weathering occurs, it doesn't change the chemical composition of the rock. mechanical weathering are caused by abrasion by ice water, thermal expansion, root of trees growing on the rock.

THERMAL EXPANSION

This is a mechanical  process of weathering. during the day when there is high temperature and hits the rock surface, the rock absorbs heat expands . at night when the temperature drops the rock contrast. Repeated action of expansion and contraction results in gradual breakdown of rock to form soil.

Outline the process of the Carbon Cycle.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Carbon Cycle Definition

Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.

Carbon Cycle Steps

Following are the major steps involved in the process of the carbon cycle:

Carbon present in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.

These plants are then consumed by animals and carbon gets bioaccumulated into their bodies.

These animals and plants eventually die, and upon decomposing, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Some of the carbon that is not released back into the atmosphere eventually become fossil fuels.

These fossil fuels are then used for man-made activities, which pumps more carbon back into the atmosphere.

Hope it helps!!!

If a cells nucleus has 55% adenine bases, how many cytosine bases will be present?
Nostrana [21]

If a cell’s nucleus has 55% adenine bases it also has 55% thymine bases, so the percentage of cytosine bases is 45% as same as  guanine bases.

This is known as Chargaff's rule which states that DNA should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases (the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the same thing with adenine and thymine).

DNA molecule globally has percentage base pair equality: %A = %T and %G = %C.

During a lytic infection, the host cell__.
wel
Lytic infection is a kind of infection, which results in the bursting of a cell. During the lytic cycle, the infected cell and its membrane is being destructed. Therefore, during a lytic infection, the host cell is destroyed when it burst. The word lysis means the disintegration of a cell by rupture.
