The answer to this question would be: <span>b.electromagnetic or weak nuclear
</span>
The electromagnetic force can be repulsive or attractive because it was influenced by the magnetic charge. The same charge (positive with positive) will be repulsive but different charge will be attractive(negative and negative). The gravitational force will always be attractive, not repulsive. 
Weak nuclear can do both like electromagnetic force.

What is photosynthesis? (Check all that apply). Check All That Apply fermentationfermentation the conversion of sunlight energy
Anton [14]

Answer:

the conversion of sunlight energy into chemical energy

the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protist use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar

Explanation:

<em>Photosynthesis is a process during which the energy present in the sun is converted into chemical energy and locked up in an organic compound. The energy from the sun is trapped by the chlorophyll - a compound found in green plants, some bacteria, and some protists - and utilized to synthesize sugar along with inorganic materials such as carbon dioxide and water. </em>

The entire process of photosynthesis consists of multiple steps whose chemical equation can be summarised below:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight ------> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

Which statement best describes embryonic stem cells?
Zolol [24]

D

Embryonic stem cells are capable of self-renewal and unlimited differentiation.

Explanation:

An embryo is at the earliest stages in the growth and development of a higher organism. The cells of an embryo are pluripotent meaning that at the stage, they can differentiate into any type of cell of the organism. Therefore these cells are not determined and are referred to as stem cells. These cells are also self-renewing meaning that the cells can divide more stem cells.

Over time, these cells will begin to differentiate into tissues, organs, organ systems and ultimately into the whole organism. Some of the cells like the nerve,blood and muscle cells will also lose their self-renewal capacity.

Which statements describe analogous structures? Select three options. Analogous structures indicate a common ancestor. Analogous
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Analogous structures do not indicate a common ancestor. Analogous structures have the same function but a different structure. An example of an analogous structure is the wing of a bat and a butterfly.

Explanation:

Analogous structures are the structures that have a similar function in various organisms but their anatomic structure is different from one another in reality. Analogous structures are do not indicate a common ancestor.

An analogous structures example is the wings of the bat and butterfly as they are both used for flying but their structure is different anatomically from one another.
