<h3><u>Required </u><u>Answers</u><u>:</u></h3>

a) The rock above shown in the picture is <u>pumice rock</u> because it is having abundant pores on its surface. It is the only rock found with numerous pores.

b) The pumice rock is an igneous rock and we know that igneous rocks ar made from the molten magma. When the lava comes out, and cooled down it forms the igneous rocks. During this process, if there are air spaces accumulated, they form pumice rock.

c) The pumice rock is known as porous rock because it contains many pores due to air spaces inside it. This is h hence very light and floats on water.

d) The pumice rock is used as a scrubber because of its lightness and porosity. It is also used as an abrasive .

How many and what are the processes that seed plants use to reproduce.
Luba_88 [7]
Plants reproduce through the process of fertilisation. Fertilisation is the process where female and male cells join together to form an embryo inside the seed. The seed protects the embryo in preparation for germination when conditions permit the plant to produce new plants.

Seed plants are classified into two types to determine reproduction. First are the Angiosperms, this type of seed plant has flowers that have special structures for reproduction. Pollens are made by male cells, while ovules are made by female cells. Pollens are carried out through the process of pollination (e.g. wind blows, insects carrying pollen). Most angiosperms that don’t undergo pollination develop intro fruits. If it goes into pollination they become new flowering plants.
<span>
Second classification is the Gymnosperms, which are seed plants that are held in cones. Gymnosperms like Angiosperms also have male and female reproductive cells. Reproduction also occurs through pollination but most gymnosperms are trees. The best example of a gymnosperm are pine cones.  </span>

What provides the energy that drives the water cycle?
Alenkinab [10]
The sun. The sun provides the energy for evaporation and even for the rest of the water cycle without the sun it wouldn't work. Unless you had a giant heat lamp over the ocean lol

Using the illustration above, why are the chromosomes in two of the sex cells different from the chromosomes in the parent cell?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: A  the chromosomes from another parent cell were introduced

Explanation: A child is created when the male sex cell joins the female cell. If the male and female sex cells had the standard number of chromosomes, as is found in body cells then the zygote (baby) would have double that number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes would keep doubling every generation. To avoid this doubling the parent's body cells split by miosis which halves the number of chromosomes and so when the sex cells join the total number of chromosomes is the same as that found in the parent's body cells.

A scientist investigated DNA replication in two groups of cells, labeled A and B. She injected radioactively labeled nucleotides
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D. The cells in group B are prokaryotic because they replicate their DNA in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

The cells of group A are prokaryotic because it is prokaryotes which do not have a double membranous structure called nucleus for storing their genetic material. The genetic material of prokaryotes is spread in the cytoplasm in the form of a circular DNA which is called as nucleoid. Since they do not have a separate organelle like nucleus for storage of their genetic material, they are bound to replicate their DNA in the cytoplasm. In contrast to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have nucleus for storage of their genetic material and in eukaryotes replication is an exclusively nuclear event.

What evidence best supports the conversation during photosynthesis?
lions [1.4K]

The evidence that best supports conversation during photosynthesis is: Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis ( A )

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants make use of water and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere to transform/convert the light energy from the sun into chemical energy.in the process of synthesizing food  

The products of photosynthesis include oxygen and glucose while the conversion during photosynthesis takes place when the chloroplast absorbs the light energy from the sunlight and converts it another form of energy ( chemical energy ).

Hence we can conclude that The evidence that best supports conversation during photosynthesis is ; Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.
