The genes that survive and flourish in a species are the strong ones. Strong genes evolve into the next generation, while weaker ones die.

process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process
converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds

There are 6 molecules of O2.
"O2" is the formula for one molecule oxygen, which has 2 atoms.
The subscript (small) "2" tells you how many atoms are in the molecule.
The coefficient is the big number tells you the number of molecules.
In 6O2, there are 12 atoms in total (6 molecules of 2 atoms each).
<span>Let the equation be : at^2 + bt + c = P,
where t = time (hrs),
P = population (1000's).
When t = 1, P = 3.03.
When t = 2, P = 1.72.
When t = 3, P = 1.17.
Substitute these into the equation to obtain these 3 simultaneous equations :
a + b + c = 3.03
4a + 2b + c = 1.72
9a + 3b = c = 1.17
Solving gives :
a = 0.38,
b = -2.45,
c = 5.1.
The equation is therefore,
P = 0.38t^2 - 2.45t + 5.1
Testing with t = 0 to 6 gives the population values as provided,
so it seems to be a valid model.
At t = 9 hrs,
P = 0.38*9^2 - 2.45*9 + 5.1
= 13.83.</span>
