The instrument that measures air pressure is called a barometer. It measures the wind pressure and it is easy to move and read.

Answer: D) all of the above</h3>
Explanation:
The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.
Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.
When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.
In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)
So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.
Answer:
Cleaning up oil spills and metal contaminates in a low-impact, sustainable and inexpensive manner remains a challenge for companies and governments globally.
But a group of researchers at UW–Madison is examining alternative materials that can be modified to absorb oil and chemicals. If further developed, the technology may offer a cheaper and “greener” method to absorb oil and heavy metals from water and other surfaces.
Aerogels, which are highly porous materials and the lightest solids in existence, are already used in a variety of applications, ranging from insulation and aerospace materials to thickening agents in paints. The aerogel prepared in Gong’s lab is made of cellulose nanofibrils (sustainable wood-based materials) and an environmentally friendly polymer. Furthermore, these cellulose-based aerogels are made using an environmentally friendly freeze-drying process without the use of organic solvents.
It’s the combination of this “greener"material and its high performance that got Gong’s attention.
“For this material, one unique property is that it has superior absorbing ability for organic solvents — up to nearly 100 times its own weight,” she says. “It also has strong absorbing ability for metal ions.”
Treating the cellulose-based aerogel with specific types of silane after it is made through the freeze-drying process is a key step that gives the aerogel its water-repelling and oil-absorbing properties.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Because they are lighter than water
