The right option is B. Extension straightens a joint, and hyperextension bends it but in the opposite direction from flexion. Extension is a joint movement in which there is straightening of the bones or body surfaces at a joint against resistance while hyperextension is the extension and straightening of a joint beyond its normal range of motion. Hyperextension is an extreme form of an extension and it bends a joint in the opposite direction from flexion.

Explanation:

A student of ecology researched about the low growth of algae in the Big Moose lake as compared to the Brant lake, though Big Moose lake has higher  level of nitrogen and nutrients in it.

Explain why bacteria grew in the crushed vial but not in the vial that was intact
andrezito [222]
This question is incomplete. However, it seems to indicate that the vials contain aerobic bacteria. These are bacteria that require oxygen to respire and grow. The bacteria in the sealed vial will be deprived of oxygen, and would therefore not grow. Those in the crushed vial will be exposed to oxygen and would therefore be able to grow.

The lithosphere floats on the asthenosphere like glass on clay. When the clay moves, the glass moves. The movement of the lithos
beks73 [17]

The movement is kind like Earthquakes because at divergent boundaries, lithospheric plates move apart and crust is created. At convergent boundaries, lithospheric plates move together in collision zones where crust is either destroyed by subduction or uplifted to form mountain chains.
