Which of the following reasons best explains why a scientist would want to study rock formations and living organisms in previously unexplored water habitats? a. to discover new aspects of the natural world b. to explain recently observed phenomena c. to test the predictions of current theories d. to test the conclusions of prior investigations

The correct answer is option (A) to discover new aspects of the natural world.

The study of rock formations and living organisms in previously unexplored water habitats helps a scientist to discover the newer aspects of the natural world. The unexplored water habitats are the best source to understand the newer aspects of the aquatic bodies like the new species of plants or animals, factors affecting the aquatic life and the different types interactions in the habitats. The study of rock also helps in the study of plants and animals, which were once a part of the habitat, now in the form of fossils.

Thus, the study of rock formations cannot explain the recently observed phenomena as they help in the study of fossils. The study of living organisms in previously unexplored water habitats cannot be applied to test the conclusions of prior investigations and test the predictions of current theories as they remained unexplored.

answer: the blood-brain barrier is a layer of specialized membranes and cell processes designed to keep undesirable substances from passing from the bloodstream into the precious tissues of the brain. while the blood-brain barrier does keep most bad things out of the central nervous system, it is not impermeable.

explanation:

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
