Answer:
First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.
Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.
In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
The Americans colonies became free and independent states explanation: because they declared independence
Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Asexually.
Asexually reproducing organisms have rapid rate of reproduction as only a single parent is involved in this. Also, there is no formation and fusion of gametes in this mode of reproduction.
They produce larger number of offsprings through rapid rate of reproduction. By doing so they have larger chances of survival.
For instance, if a part of bacterial species population is wiped out through viral infection, bacteria can compensate this loss by the rapid rate of reproduction. This increases their chances of survival.
Answer:
The presence of pillow lavas in the oldest preserved volcanic sequences on the planet, the Isua and Barberton greenstone belts, confirms the presence of large bodies of water on the Earth's surface early in the Archean Eon. Pillow lavas are used generally to confirm subaqueous volcanism in metamorphic belts.
Hope this helps :)
