The answer is <span>a. light energy to chemical energy.
</span>
<span>In the photosynthesis, plants use light energy from the sun as an energy source. This light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates made from carbon dioxide and water. So, when light reaches a leaf of a plant, it passes through to chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are organelles inside the leaf and contain pigment chlorophyll. Light excites chlorophyll and a series of chemical reactions occur inside the chloroplasts. As the result, carbohydrates which serve as a food for the plants </span><span>are synthesised.</span>

kvasek [131]

The correct answer is - a front.

On this image, the lines are representing a front, and since the signs are marked with blue color, it means that it is a cold front. The fronts are advancing masses of air. In this case, we have a cold front, thus we have advancing cold air masses in the western part of the US, and in the Great Lakes region and the northeastern part of the country. This means that these areas will be affected by colder air masses, that will bring in higher air pressure, colder weather, and cold winds from the direction from which these cold fronts are coming.

GenaCL600 [577]

The human digestion starts in the small intestine gets the most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use.  When food enters the small intestine, villi along the intestine wall along with enzymes help break down the food, and takes a long journey. The stomach is right above the small intestine, and the small intestine is all wrapped around, and isn't that thick. Nutrients from the food are released to the whole body as energy. The small intestine brings the food to the large intestine, which is five feet long and is near your pelvis, or hips. The large intestine connects to the rectum, and then to the anus. In the large intestine, all the water is absorbed as well as salt.

Which point in this graph shows the beginning of a period of exponential
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

C. Point B

Explanation:  

The exposed curve represents a logistic growth model. Population growth depends on density. Natality and mortality depend on the population size, meaning that there is no independence between population growth and population density.

When a population grows in a limited space, density rises gradually and eventually affects the multiplication rate. The population per capita growth rate decreases as population size increases. The population reaches a maximum point delimited by available resources, such as food or space. This point is known as the carrying capacity, K.

K is a constant that equals population size at the equilibrium point, in which the natality and the mortality rate get qual to each other.

Referring to population size as N, when

  • N<K, the population can still grow.
  • N approximates to K, the population´s growth speed decreases.
  • N=K the population reaches equilibrium,
  • N>K, the population must decrease in size because there are not enough resources to maintain that size.  

The sigmoid curve represents the logistic growth model.

  • Point A: During this period, the population size is relatively stable. Little growth is expressed.
  • Point B: At the beginning of this period, population growth increases softly. The more individuals are in the population, the more that reaches sexual maturity and get to reproduce, leaving fertile offspring. This fertile offspring also get to reproduce and leave more fertile individuals. At the end of the period, the curve shows a sharp slope, reflecting the significant increase in the population reproductive rate.  
  • Point C: At the beginning of this period, the population keeps on growing exponentially. But at the end of the period, the curve tends to stabilize, meaning that the population stops growing in size so fast. The population slow and gradually reaches the equilibrium point, K.
  • Point D: The population got to stabilize.
