Sedimentary rocks are formed by cementation and compaction
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Because the mean time taken to turn from blue/black to orange/brown (in minutes) was the shortest, showing that the rate of reaction was the highest. 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Connective tissue is the tissue of a living organism that does not directly correspond to the work of any organ or organ system, but plays an auxiliary role in all organs, accounting for 60-90% of their mass. Performs basic, protective and trophic functions. Connective tissue<span> has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance. </span>Connective tissue<span> is classified into two subtypes: soft and specialized connective tissue. Its main functions are connecting function, keeping water balance, healing function, protection, and trophic function. </span>
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The effects of climate change may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection
Explanation:
<em>Vibrio vulnificus</em> is a harmful bacterium that causes a serious disease due to eating contaminated seafood, which is the main cause of seafood-related deaths in the USA. <em>V. vulnificus</em> is naturally present in the flora of coastal waters around the world and this bacterium has been isolated from a variety of seafood (e.g.., fish, oysters, shrimp, etc). Epidemiologic studies have shown that the incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection has increased dramatically since 1996. During this same period, climate change has been responsible for the increase in salinity and temperature of the coastal waters (i.e., the natural habitat of this bacterium). In consequence, it is reasonable to suppose that the change in climatic conditions may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.
Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.
