Answer:

Colorful gasses;

When light passes through gas in the atmosphere some of the light at particular wavelengths is scattered resulting in darker bands. These lines came to be known as 'spectral lines' and were cataloged by heating common elements until they produced light and measuring the wavelengths emitted.

Answer:

Each of the different colors has its own wavelength, which reflects and refracts at its own angle, different from all the other colors. When light passes through a prism (a triangular piece of glass), it is reflected and refracted into a continuous band of colors called a spectrum.

Which are autotrophs ?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Tiny organisms that live in the ocean are autotrophs. Some types of bacteria are autotrophs.

Why do living things share fundamental characteristics
Ghella [55]

Answer:

All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

Life processes are important to carry out daily life activities. They help to produce energy and maintain homeostasis in the body. The life processes help a body survive with the changes in the environment.

How are babies made and how long it takes for the baby to form in the mothers belly
Gnom [1K]
For women, the possibility of pregnancy begins in the ovaries. A woman is born with 1 to 2 million eggs, more than a lifetime's supply. The eggs begin dying off almost immediately and she never produces more. The average egg lives only about 24 hours, so it has to be fertilized soon for pregnancy to happen. If it doesn't get fertilized on time, it either dissolves or is absorbed by the body. When an egg is fertilized, its own genetic material and the genetic material of the sperm that got to the egg first combine to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. A woman isn't actually pregnant until that new bundle of cells (called the embryo) travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the wall of the woman's uterus. The average pregnancy lasts for 38 weeks from the date you conceive (called conception). However, doctors usually date your pregnancy from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Using this method, a pregnancy is said to last 40 weeks, or 280 days.
