pairs of nitrogen bases

I like to think of the DNA molecule strand as a ladder, rather than a spiral staircase. The siderail of the DNA ladder (The DNA "Backbone") consists of the Sugar and Phosphate molecules. The rungs of the ladder (the inner bases) consist of the pairs of Nitrogen Bases - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.

Climatic zones are distinct areas on the earth that share the same climatic conditions. There are 4 main climatic zones; tropical, subtropical, temperate, and cold climatic zones. These climatic zones are defined by their latitudes. They also have climatic ranges depending on the position of the sun with regard to the earth and its orbit.

Which sentence describes energy flow through a natural (not manufactured) system?
Bezzdna [24]

The correct option is this: A STRONG WIND BLOW ACROSS A MIDWESTERN PRAIRIE.

A strong wind is an example of a natural force. The prairie refers to a land fill with grasses and that is a natural factor also. Thus, a strong wind that is blowing across a prairie is generating a natural form of energy. The energy flow in the other options given are examples of man made devices.
