<u>Answer:</u> The value of a is 2.955 and value of b is 8.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is defined as the notation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form. The numerical digit lies between 0.1.... to 9.9.....

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

We are given:

Speed of light in vacuum = 299,500,000 m/s

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

\Rightarrow 295,500,000=2.955\times 10^{8}m/s

As, the decimal point is shifting to left side, thus the power of 10 is positive.

Comparing the calculated value to the given number, which is:

Number = a\times 10^b

Hence, the value of a is 2.955 and value of b is 8.

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i
Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.

Freeze drying<span> (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the </span>air pressure<span> to a point where ice sublimates from a </span>solid<span> to a </span>gas<span>.

Bacteria that live around deep-sea hot-water vents obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic hydrogen sulfide belched out by the vent
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

<h2>chemoautotrophs</h2>

Explanation:

Such types of bacteria that oxidize inorganic compounds to obtain energy and use carbon dioxide as a carbon source to synthesize their food are known as chemoautotrophs such as iron-oxidizing bacteria, cyanobacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and some other. Chemoautrophic mode of nutrition is a type of autotrophic nutrition in which organisms have the ability to synthesized their own food by using chemical energy in the place of solar energy. The organismS that use solar energy to synthesize their food are known as photoautotrophic organisms such as plants and some other organisms.
