The correct matches are:
1. Carbon dioxide in the air dissolves in ocean water - Atmosphere
2. Flowing water dissolves a variety of minerals - Geosphere
3. Transpiration is a process in which water evaporates from the leaves of plants - Biosphere
4. Lightning allows nitrogen atoms to dissolve in rain - Atmosphere
All of the natural cycles interact with more than one sphere, very often with all of them. This is the case with the water cycle, thus the basis of the hydrosphere. The water cycle is a cycle through which the water interacts with all other spheres. The water is used, stored, and released by the flora and fauna, thus it interacts with the biosphere. It is interacting with the geosphere by eroding the rocks. It moves through the atmosphere where it can become a form of precipitation, as well as interact with other substances, thus interact with the atmosphere as well.
Q: c. Vascular plants reproduce by their _______ or ____________
ans: angiosperms and gymnosperms maybe
Cells divide for growth, to repair tissue damage, and because the nucleus can only control a certain size of cell.
<span>Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.</span>
