It's d
It can't be A because energy can't be created or destroyed.
It cant be C because energy doesn't take enough of a role in the light of the fire.
It can't be B because the compounds are not changing.

Answer:

d. The molecules present in the log are transformed into molecules that contain less energy than the original molecules. The energy difference is the heat of the fire

Explanation:

When a log of wood burns, Oxygen must be present because it is a combustion reaction. A log of wood is composed of organic materials and the main organic material present is Carbon.

Due to the fact that Oxygen is present, Carbon reacts with Oxygen to form Carbon dioxide which contains lesser energy than Carbon.

Kay [80]

<span>If I were attempting to date a rock sample that I suspect to be incredibly old, i would use radioactive isotopes with a long half life. When dating rocks and fossils to discover approximately how old they are, radioisotope dating is used on igneous rocks found near fossils. Things like Uranium 235, which is an unstable radioactive isotope of elements, decays at a constant rate over time so can be useful in determining age.</span>

Under what circumstances would a species of meat eating animals be most likely to evolve to eat plants

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Any insect unlucky enough to land on the mouth-like leaves of an Australian pitcher plant will meet a grisly end. The plant's prey is drawn into a vessel-like ‘pitcher’ organ where a specialized cocktail of enzymes digests the victim.

Now, by studying the pitcher plant's genome—and comparing its insect-eating fluids to those of other carnivorous plants—researchers have found that meat-eating plants the world over have hit on the same deadly molecular recipe, even though they are separated by millions of years of evolution.
