Answer:
C
Explanation:
During their development, many organisms look similar, suggesting that very different organisms may have a common ancestor. - Think of the human fetal neural / spine development which mirrors other species.
Answer:
Matter cycles through an ecosystem through processes called biogeochemical cycles.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis
Plants build carbohydrates by taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carbon moves through the food chain
As organisms eat other organisms, carbon moves up the food chain. Molecules in the food that contain carbon transform into the organic molecules that make up the living body.
Carbon moves back to the environment
Organisms use food molecules, containing carbon, as a form of energy. The process of cellular respiration breaks down food molecules into carbon dioxide.
Contribution of industry
Humans contribute to moving carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels.
Use of fossil fuels
Today's fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions of years ago by plants deposited in the Earth. The decomposition of the plants slowed down in such a way that their organic molecules are used for natural gas, coal and oil.
Diffusion into the air
From the oceans, carbon dioxide diffuses into the air. This creates a large amount of carbon, which is then taken in by plants to start the cycle over again.
As discussed in Lesson 1, density is an excellent indicator of wood strength; the higher the density the stronger the wood. However, a wood with a density of 600 may not be twice as strong as one with a density of 300.
The properties are good at all sizes of material wherever it is homogeneous
What size affects is the likelihood there are flaws in that piece of material. Smaller objects have less likelihood of flaws and come out stronger than big pieces. Big stuff with flaws breaks into smaller stuff missing those flaws so the smaller stuff is less likely to break. Example Aircraft cable is stronger than a solid rod of the same material.
