Answer:

a. biomes

Explanation:

Ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the relationship between living organisms such as plants and animals in relation to their physical and biological environment.

An ecosystem can be defined as the natural living habitats of both living and non-living organisms, in which they interact with one another. Essential services such as plant pollination, water purification, nutrient cycling etc that are being provided by the ecosystem are really very vital, important and useful for the sustenance of life, both for humans and enhances social welfare.

Generally, the different continents on Earth are in a constant motion due to the fact that they're sitted on top of gigantic plates floating on Earth’s mantle.

Furthermore, the Earth’s core generate energy which also creates convection currents in the molten layer of the Earth, thereby, moving the plates.

Over an extremely long periods of time, the movement of these plates create new biomes.

In Ecology, a biome can be defined as a relatively distinct terrestrial region which is made up of animals, micrograms and plants, and it is typically characterized by similar environmental factors such as wind, relative humidity, rainfall, temperature, etc., irrespective (regardless) of where it occurs in the world.

There are five (5) main types of biomes and these are;

I. Forest.

II. Aquatic.

III. Desert.

IV. Grassland.

V. Tundra.

Which statement best describes a physical change? This is Physical Science :)
alexandr402 [8]
Your answer would be C as a physical change is characterized as a change in physical appearance be it shape, phase, or size. A good example is an ice cube when it melts, it may look different but its chemical composition is the same and the change from is ice to water is reversible unlike a chemical change like baking a cake which cannot be reversed to its original state before it went into the oven. Hope this helps!

An animal cell is growing and is active. The cell is going through which subphase of interphase
alexira [117]
The cell is in Gap 1 phase.

The cell cycle is very interesting topic to learn...  There are three (interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis) main phases that happen in the cell cycle, but all complex and synchronized. 

I wish I could explain more, but Brainly will probably get me for plagiarism.... 
Sorry, Brainly I didn't mean too. :(
