The answer is E.
Chemoautotrophs are organisms that use inorganic <span>compounds as an energy source and CO2 as a carbon source. The organisms live in </span>hostile environments like dark depths of the sea. Inorganic energy sources that they use are mostly hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ferrous iron, molecular hydrogen, and ammonia.
The nuclear reactions which are under experimenter's control are said to be controlled nuclear reactions. In this, you can maintain the speed of the incident particle. α and β-decay process are examples of non-controlled nuclear reactions.
I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.
A gene is the basic unit of heredity, DNA a self replicating material and chromosome a structure of nucleic acids and protein.
