Answer:
Carbon is found in the hydrosphere dissolved in ocean water and lakes. Carbon is used by many organisms to produce shells. Marine plants use cabon for photosynthesis. The organic matter that is produced becomes food in the aquatic ecosystem.
Answer:
Both b and d can be correct
Explanation:
Generally, diffusion does not require energy (<em>making option a wrong</em>) because it is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration hence diffusion moves particles in the direction of a concentration gradient. An example of this is the passive transport (for instance, uptake of glucose by a liver cell).
However, in some cases, when diffusion is against the concentration gradient (i.e when particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration), diffusion will require energy in a case like this (<em>making option c wrong</em>). An example of this is active transport (transport of protein called sodium-potassium pump which involves pumping of potassium into the cell and sodium out of the cell).
The explanation above shows that diffusion can require energy to move particles (in or out) of the cell through the cell membrane.
Answer:velocity of molecules within a body
Explanation:
Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body. The kinetic energy of a body depends on the velocity of the molecules of the body. When the temperature of a body increases, its particles acquire greater kinetic energy and move at higher velocity. Hence temperature depends on the velocity of the molecules of a body while heat is a form of energy.
Answer:
Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.
