Answer:

a, b, d (see below)

Explanation:

So, looking at the 3 states of matter:

Solid - holds a shape and is made up of particles that vibrate in place (because particles are always moving no matter what)

Liquid - holds shape of its container and has particles with some space in between them that allow them to flow

Gas - holds shape of its container and has particles with huge gaps of space between them that are always, constantly moving and zooming around

Refer to the image below for a better visual understanding.

So, now, looking at the answer choices:

a) moving randomly

Yes. They are—they're speeding around super fast all the time.

Every time heat is added to something, the particles start loosening up and moving. A lot.

So when you add heat to a solid, it starts loosening up and moving around until it becomes flowy enough to be a liquid. Then, if more heat is added, the particles moving faster and loosen up even more until they're a gas.

Imagine doing that one more time, and you'll have plasma. As you may have guessed it, plasma moves super fast

b) collide into each other

Yes. Because they're moving so fast and uncontrollably all the time, they're bound to have rammed into one another a few or more times.

Imagine bumper cars at a carnival, except the speed of each car is sooo fast that you could be on a highway. You're probably going to hit someone, which is why bumper cars are not that fast in reality. For safety reasons.

c) move slow

No. Since we know that they're always zooming around (refer to my bumper car example above, in bold), they obviously can't be slow.

d) high kinetic energy

Yes. Anything moving (a.k.a. in motion) has kinetic energy. If gases zoom super fast 24/7, they will have high kinetic energy.

Having high kinetic energy means that the something is moving really fast or a lot. In this case, gases are both.

e) moving orderly

No. They're moving everywhere and really fast, so they have no control over how they move because of how fast they are.

(refer to my bumper car example in answer b, in bold)

Describe, in detail, the journey of a sperm from start to finish! Please :D

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

The sperm reproduction startes in the testicles.Sperm are produced in the testicles and develop to maturity while traveling from the seminiferous tubules through the epididymis into the vas deferens. As a male and female have sexual intercourse their are millions of sperms released which travel from the seminiferous tubules through the epididymis into the vas deferens as that happens the sperm enters throught the partner from here it takes its journey to the egg using ts tail to swim the first sperm to reaches the egg then uses the acrosome, which is a specialised Lysosome that releases enzymes so that the Sperm Cell can penetrate the Ovum Coat of the Egg.It breaks through and forms a baby.

Hope this helps

Evaluate your proposed solutions for their impact on overall environmental stability and changes. Which solution has more impact

Allisa [31]

1. Replace disposable items with reusable
Anything you use and throw away can potentially spend centuries in a landfill. See below for simple adjustments you can make to decrease the amount of disposable items in your daily life.

Carry your own reusable cup or water bottle
Use airtight, reusable food containers instead of sandwich bags and plastic wrap
Pack a waste-free lunch: carry your utensils, cloth napkin, and containers in a reusable lunch bag
Bring your own bags to the grocery store
Consider buying bulk containers of your preferred beverages and refilling a reusable bottle, instead of buying individually packaged drinks
Use rechargeable batteries

2. Pass on paper
We are living in the Digital Era, but think about all the paper products you use in your daily life. These actions still align with reusing and repurposing, though may take a little more time for transition.

Join a library instead of buying books or buy a Kindle
Print as little as possible; and if you must, print on both sides
Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than paper and sticky-tape
Stop using paper towels and incorporate washable cloths
Look at labels to make sure you only use FSC-certified wood and paper products
Cut out products made by palm oil companies that contribute to deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia

3. Conserve water & electricity
The tips you see below will seem like no-brainers; however, it may take to become more aware of your unconscious habits.

Turn the sink water off when brushing your teeth
Water the lawn in the morning or evening; cooler air causes less evaporation
Switch off anything that uses electricity when not in use (lights, televisions, computers, printers, etc.)
Unplug devices when possible; even when an appliance is turned off, it may still use power
Remove chemicals inside of the house; research companies that use plant-derived ingredients for their household cleaning products
Remove chemicals outside of the house; use eco-friendly pesticides and herbicides that won’t contaminate groundwater
Consider signing up for a renewable energy producer that uses 100% renewable energy to power homes

Is decay of dead plant material a biotic factor or an abiotic factor?

Juliette [100K]

Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
