Answer:

The strong hydrogen bonds   in water made water stable and difficult to breakdown into constituent  oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  at a temprature less than 100 degree..

Oxygen is a strong electronegative atom than  the two hydrogen atoms it is attached to in  water. It  pulls more electrons to itself than the hydrogen atoms.. This strengthened  hydrogen bonds in water .

Consequently, it will be difficult for the needed oxygen atoms to simply diffuse into the alveoli to reach the blood,Compare to its  molecular form  where its atoms awere held  by relatively week covalent bonds.

Besides the porosity    of the thin  alveolar endothelial   walls of 0.2 micrometer is   too small for the larger water molecules to pass through.

4:
Independent Variable: Photosynthesis
Dependent Variable: Starch

Starch is a product of photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, starch cannot form. Therefore starch is dependent on photosynthesis.

5:
Independent Variable: Temperature
Dependent Variable: Animal Metabolism

Animal metabolism will only be affected if the temperature of the room changes. Therefore animal metabolism is dependent on temperature.

9:
Independent Variable: Rainfall
Dependent Variable: Thickness of growth rings

The thickness of the tree's growth rings are determined by the amount of rainfall. Therefore the thickness of growth rings are dependent on rainfall.

Nearly all eukaryotic cells contain a class of small, round organelles that contain oxidative enzymes. The enzymes break down or
Ivenika [448]

The correct answer is peroxisomes.  

Peroxisome refers to a small organelle found in the cytoplasm of various cells that comprises catalase (the reducing enzyme) and generally some oxidases.  

They are the minute vesicles and comprises the digestive enzymes used for dissociating toxic components in the cell. They are not similar to lysosomes on the basis of the kind of enzymes they withheld. The peroxisomes generally contain enzymes that need oxygen, that is, oxidative enzymes.

Why must dioecious organisms find mates in order to reproduce?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Most familiar is biparental reproduction (sometimes called dioecious reproduction). ... Dioecious reproduction leaves the greatest genetic variability among offspring (an advantage under changing conditions or in competition or when faced with disease), but the organisms must find mates.
