The main difference of renewable and non-renewable resources lies in the capacity of the environment to replenish itself. Renewable resources are resources that can be easily replenished by the environment over a short period of time, while non-renewable resources take more time. 

Examples of renewable resources are solar energy, harnessing the sun's power that shines day to day. Wind energy that exists naturally is also a renewable source. Geothermal energy, heat coming from the center of the Earth, and Biofuels, fuels made from living organisms, are all renewable energy.

Non-renewable energy resources are the fuels we use in our cars, minerals from the soil, coal, among others are supplies that also come from Earth. These are all materials that might take a long time (probably millions of years) to be fully restored.

Renewable: Produced by nature faster than humans can consume it.

Non Renewable: Produced by nature more slowly than humans can consume it.

Example of renewable is:
wind power, solar energy, ect

Example of none renewable is:
burning coal, fracking, etc

Answer:

The correct order is dehydration, embed in wax, cut into sections, staining

Explanation:

There are certain proceedings needed to obtain stained sections of vegetable or animal tissues for their microscope observations.

These steps are:

Obtention of the material: The tissue is cut to an adequate size.
Fixation: When tissues are extracted from the organism, they suffer autolysis and putrefaction, so they need to be fixated in order to keep their cells in the best state possible. Fixation involves preserving the original morphological and molecular characteristics of the tissue. Fixation avoids autolysis, putrefaction, distortion, and retraction of cells and the tissue that could affect its volume or morphology.
Dehydration. Once fixated, the fixator must be eliminated and the tissue is dehydrated by using a gradual series of solutions with alcohol in ascendant concentrations. Dehydration must be gradual to avoid tissue deformation.
Inclusion. To obtain thin cuts that can be observed under the optic microscope, the tissues must be included in a consistent, firm substance, that might be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic. A hydrophobic medium is paraffin wax, that provides hardness and plasticity.
Cut. The tissue included in wax must be cut in slides or sections thin enough to allow the diffusion and penetration of light. A microtome is used to perform these cuts. When using paraffine for tissue inclusion, the cuts are about 5 to 20 micrometers of thickness.
Stain. Once the cuts are performed, paraffin wax must be eliminated. This can be done by using an organic solvent. Then the tissue must be stained. Hematoxylin and Eosin are the most common dyes. Animal tissues in general do not have any natural color, so they need to be stained to be observed.
