How is thermal energy transferred during conduction? Check all that apply. O Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are not touching each other.
O Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are in direct contact with each other.
O Thermal energy is transferred between objects of different temperatures.
O Thermal energy is transferred between objects of the same temperature.
O Thermal energy is transferred from slow-moving particles to fast-moving particles.
O Thermal energy is transferred from fast-moving particles to slow-moving particles.

So you can rule out choice # 1. and I think you should check all the other boxes. See the description below. If the answer is incorrect then i'm sorry.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, similar to a game of pool where one moving ball strikes another, causing the second to move. Conduction takes place in solids, liquids, and gases, but works best in materials that have simple molecules that are located close to each other. For example, metal is a better conductor than wood or plastic.

humans, along with other animals and plants, have linear chromosomes that are arranged in pairs within the nucleus of the cell. the only human cells that do not contain pairs of chromosomes are reproductive cells, or gametes, which carry just one copy of each chromosome.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
