Why its it important, when building a terrarium, to use a clear container, such as glass? (a) so that the owner can determent whether there is enough air in the container (b) so that plants know when it is day or night, because they prefer to grow during the day (c) because plants need access to an energy source in order to produce sugars and oxygen (d) Because you wouldn’t able to look at your plants if the container wasn’t clear

Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.
