Answer: Porosity

Explanation: Porosity is the ratio of volume of pores to the total volume of soil. This ratio varies between 0 and 1, or  between 0% and 100% as a percentage.

Porosity=\frac{\text {volume of pores}}{\text {Total volume}}\times 100\%

Porosity is also called as void fraction and  is a measure of the empty spaces present in a material. Thus a porous soil will have more amount of  air and less porous soil will have less amount of  air.

A porous soil is made from coarse particles that leave large gaps known as pores.

A glass dish containing a few drops of water in the presence of carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, and small organic compounds is
Aneli [31]

The correct answer is (a )

This experiment shows that the life has evolved from the inorganic materials. The substances like carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas when heated and exposed to UV radiation led to generation of life supporting element called as amino acids. The UV radiation and heat provided the energy needed by gases to convert into amino acids.

weqwewe [10]

Some of the organisms have evolved in such a way that they remain inactive when the predator populations are active.  

Adaptive theory of sleep suggests that the prey population prefer to sleep when (in this case, at night) the predators are most active. The prey population use this time in taking rest and restoring energy for other works. As the prey population is inactive and remained protected in safe places, they are less likely to be predated.  

Hence, the correct answer is adaptive theory of sleeping.

If a battery produced 12.6 volts, what would the current flow be for a 6 Ohm resistor
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

I = 2.1 A

Explanation:

This is physics, but I will answer here either way.

First, the battery produces a voltage of 12 V in a resistor with 6 ohm, and we want the current flow (I). We need to apply the following expression:

V = R * I   (1)

This is the Ohm's law. From here we can solve for I and:

I = V/R   (2)

Now, we just need to replace the data and solve for the current:

I = 12.6 / 6

<h2>I = 2.1 A</h2>

Hope this helps
