The denser regions of the electron cloud are called what?
[ "isotopes", "orbitals", "lattices", "cores" ]
B
Some regions of the electron cloud are denser than others. The denser regions are areas where electrons are most likely to be. These regions are called orbitals . Each orbital has a maximum of just two electrons. Different energy levels in the cloud have different numbers of orbitals. Therefore, different energy levels...

What process provides more than 99% of energy?
[ "photosynthesis", "nuclear fusion", "cellular respiration", "glycolysis" ]
A
Plants and other autotrophs make food out of “thin air”—at least, they use carbon dioxide from the air to make food. Most food is made in the process of photosynthesis. This process provides more than 99% of the energy used by living things on Earth. Photosynthesis also supplies Earth’s atmosphere with oxygen.
