This quote comes from the now famous Four Freedoms speech, delivered by Roosevelt as the State of the Union address on January 6, 1941. The international context was very negative. Hitler and his Axis allies were winning in Europe. Britain was greatly menaced and the Japanese were gearing up for all-out war in the Pacific and in Asia.
Roosevelt, aware that scientific progress had eliminated the physical advantage of the USA being separated from Europe and Asia by such vast expanses of water had been arming and funding the British for years and had also increased military spending and the Navy in order to keep Japan at bay.
He knew that once Hitler had conquered Europe and Japan had conquered the East, all the populations and resources of these vast reasons would be used to directly attack the USA, which would eventually find itself in numeric inferiority so in order to prevent such a dark future he chose to send weapons, supplies and money to the British.
France had gone through a civil war and Napoleon was a strong military leader in his military campaigns Egypt so he took the opportunity I'm sure.<span />
Answer:
The Catholic Church claimed that the Heliocentric Theory was wrong, and that the Geocentric Theory was correct.
Explanation:
However The Church was wrong in the end, as today we know the Earth rotates around the Sun, and not the other way around.
Answer:
Explanation:
Some cells also feature orderly arrangements of molecules called organelles. Similar to the rooms in a house, these structures are partitioned off from the rest of a cell's interior by their own intracellular membrane. Organelles contain highly technical equipment required for specific jobs within the cell. One example is the mitochondrion — commonly known as the cell's "power plant" — which is the organelle that holds and maintains the machinery involved in energy-producing chemical reactions (Figure 3).
A pie slice diagram shows the proportion of water to typical chemical components in a bacterial cell. Each chemical component is color-coded and is labeled by name and percent.

Most of a cell is water (70%). The remaining 30% contains varying proportions of structural and functional molecules.

Figure Detail
A diagram of scale shows how different biological features fall along a size gradient. Atoms are represented on the far left side of the scale, while much larger blood vessels are pictured on the far right; molecules, organelles, and cells are arranged in the middle in order of increasing size, between these two extremes.
Figure 3: The relative scale of biological molecules and structures
Cells can vary between 1 micrometer (μm) and hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Within a cell, a DNA double helix is approximately 10 nanometers (nm) wide, whereas the cellular organelle called a nucleus that encloses this DNA can be approximately 1000 times bigger (about 10 μm). See how cells compare along a relative scale axis with other molecules, tissues, and biological structures (blue arrow at bottom). Note that a micrometer (μm) is also known as a micron.
