The answer is (D). Creating more fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are formed by the compression of the dead matter of plants and animals within the crust of the Earth. The plants and animals that died due to some calamity millions of years ago got covered by the rocks and soil. The internal heat of the Earth and the pressure due to the weight of the rocks turned them into thick dark crude oil. This process is natural and time consuming. It is impossible to recreate this process by artificial means on a large scale to make more solid fuels.

Interestingly, mining of extra-terrestrial planets, moons and asteroids is an ongoing research and the means to do it are being prototypes in the research laboratories of NASA and other space organisations.

Why is it important to know a person blood type before a blood transfusion?
lord [1]
Different types of blood contact different kinds of antigens and antibodies. For example, Type A blood has A antigens and B antibodies, antibodies being the thing that fights B antigens. Type B blood has B antigens and A antibodies. So if someone with type B gets transfused with Type A blood, the person's antibodies will attack the new blood.

Which type of molecule will require energy to cross the cell membrane? Question 3 options: A) carbon dioxide B) Na+ C) nonpolar
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.
