Adietary calorie equals 1 kilocalorie. which of the following statements correctly defines 1 kilocalorie?

a.1,000 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°c
b.1,000 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 100°c
c.100 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 1°c
d.10,000 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°f
e.1,000 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1,000°c

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the wetland preservation movement began in the u.s. in earnest with the clean water act (cwa) of 1972. although not specifically written to protect wetlands, the cwa is comprised of a series of regulations designed to prevent pollutants from contaminating u.s. waters.
