Answer:

8 min 20 seconds

Explanation:

Radiation from the sun travels as light through the vacuum of space. Therefore, it is travelling at the speed of light which is roughly 300,000 km/s. If we divide this speed by the average distance between the Sun and the Earth (150,000,000 km) we would get a total of 500 seconds. We can now turn this total time into minutes which would be roughly 8 min and 20 seconds. Therefore, it would take a total of 8 min 20 seconds for radiation from the Sun to reach Earth.

likoan [24]

The best answer is C.

Chloroplasts are not found in all eukaryotic cells but only in plant cells. Animal cells are eukaryotic in nature but animals do not have chloroplasts in their cells because they do not engage in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food. Chloroplasts  contain chlorophyll which is essential in t trapping sunlight from which supplies the energy for photosynthesis. 

Animals do not make their own food like plants but eat ready made food so their cells  lack mechanisms for food manufacture.

__________ are a proposed solution to enhance species survival by effectively creating a large preserve from several smaller one
sashaice [31]

The corridors are a proposed solution to enhance the species survival by effectively creating a large preserve from several smaller ones. The different patches of the forest lands are separated by the human activities, turning them into agricultural land, highways, or housing communities. This affects the migrating behaviors of the animals living in these forests patches. By connecting these separated patches by building corridors will solve this problem, and help conserve the species.

Hence, the answer is 'corridor'.
