Answer: b It changes from a solid to a liquid

Explanation:

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and vibrate in place but they can not move from one place to another.

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another.

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. The molecules are not closely packed and they can move freely from one place to another and spread out.

In solid the particles are closely packed as the inter molecular forces of attraction are strongest. As energy is added to solids, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and thus the molecules start moving farther and convert to liquid state. The process is called melting.

The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

The diagram below shows the positions of Earth, sun, and moon during two types of tides. The picture on the left is labeled Tide

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

c. the gravitational forces due to the sun and the moon cancel each other's effect

Explanation:

The two diagrams represent Neap tides. Neap tides occur when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are aligned at right angles. Moderate tides are formed because the bulge due to gravitational pull of the Sun cancels the bulge due to moon. The difference between the high tides and the low tides is the smallest.

Examples of the energy pyramid to explain production, distribution, and use of food resources

miss Akunina [59]

The energy pyramid (also called ecological pyramid) quantifies the energy transfer from one organism to another along the food chain. Energy decreases as you move through the levels from the bottom to the top of the pyramid.At the bottom are the producers which bring energy from nonliving sources (sun) into the community (photosynthesis).
After the producers (above them) are the primary consumers. They eat the producers, which makes them herbivores. Above them are the secondary consumers. They eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivores. And at the top are the Tertiary consumers.
