Answer:
Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.
Explanation:
- Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
- This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
- This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.
The correct answers about rusting, air pollution and products of water with rock are:
Option A. oxidation
Option D. Pollutants mix with air and water to make acid rain.
Option B. clay minerals and calcium carbonate
<h3>What is rusting?</h3>
Rusting is the process by which a metal especially reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere and water vapor to form a hydrated oxide of the metal known as hydrated iron (iii) oxide. This is known as rust.
The process is an oxidation process; option A.
<h3>How does air pollution impact chemical weathering?</h3>
Air pollution is the presence of substances in air known as pollutants which makes the air impure.
Air pollution impact chemical weathering as the pollutants mix with air and water to make acid rain which weathers rocks; option D.
<h3>What products are produced when water reacts with sodium in rocks?</h3>
The reaction of water with sodium in rocks result in the formation of clay minerals and calcium carbonate also as limestone, marble or chalk; option B.
In conclusion, the presence of pollutants in air results in acid rain and hence rock weathering.

Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes <u>where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide</u> (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.
