Control rods<span> are </span>rods<span>, plates, or tubes containing a neutron absorbing material (material with high absorbtion cross-section for thermal neutron) such as boron, hafnium, cadmium, etc., used to </span>control<span> the power of a nuclear reactor.
so the statement that describe a control rod is:
</span><span>Control rods are lowered into the reactor to slow down the reaction by absorbing neutrons.</span>
10 levels of organization:
Cell
Tissue
Organ
Organ system
Organism
Population
Community
Ecosystem
Biome
Biosphere
If you just look at the next level on the organization levels, you receive a POPULATION.
Plants rely on proper soil conditions to give them nutrients and minerals.
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another. The law of inertia on the other hand states that a body remains at a state of rest or motion on a straight line unless compelled by an external force. So i think that the answer is B, which is FALSE because the question is more related to the law of inertia(Newtons first law) than to the law of conservation of energy. Hope i helped.
