The word “cumulative” means that something builds on itself. Which example best shows how scientific knowledge is cumulative?

A. Watson and Crick worked together to come up with the model of DNA.

B. Kepler based his laws of planetary motions off of Newton’s law of gravity.

C. Hardy and Weinberg independently came up with a population equation.

D. Darwin and his grandfather both worked on the ideas of survivability.

PLEASE HELP ME

B

Explanation:

Cumulative means that someone came up with an idea first and someone later built an idea off of that.  Kepler basing his laws off of Newton's laws is the only option that uses cumulative knowledge.  Everything else is either completely independent or working together neither of which is cumulative.

air, water, heat and noise pollution can all be caused by producing and using technology. consuming resources - non-renewable resources, including precious metals like gold, are used to make technology

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
