Answer:
Explanation:
Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.
But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>
heat is released by the combustion of
of methane</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The value of enthalpy determines whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the enthalpy change is positive, then the reaction is endothermic (heat or energy released) and if the enthalpy change is negative then the reaction is exothermic (heat or energy absorbed).

<em>In this question, </em><em>the enthalpy of formation</em><em> has positive value and hence the </em><em>reaction is endothermic</em><em> in which the heat is released.

Light energy (from the sun) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
the light energy from the sun is then trapped in the glucose. in order to retrieve the chemical energy stores within the molecule, the bonds have to be broken.
