Please answer this: What is the missing first step of the following process: - Over time, more sediment piles on top - The resulting heat and pressure transforms the organic layer into a dark and waxy substance known as kerogen - Left alone, the kerogen molecules eventually crack - The molecules break up into shorter and lighter molecules composed almost solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms - It will turn into either petroleum or natural gas -

Answer: Dead organic material accumulates on the bottom of oceans, riverbeds or swamps, mixing with mud and sand

Problem: What is the missing first step of the following process: - Air enters bronchial tubes - Air is then split into the bronchioles of each lung - Bronchioles have alveoli which are tiny air sacs - Alveoli is surrounded by many small blood vessels - Oxygen passes through alveoli into blood vessels - Blood leaves the lungs as it travels through the body - Blood carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs - Carbon dioxide released when you exhale.

A: You breathe air in

Problem: Given the question: What is the missing first step of the following process: - Food begins to be processed by the digestive system - The pancreas releases enzymes to aid digestion - Digested food affects the amount of sugar in the blood - The pancreas releases one hormone to lower the blood sugar (glucose) level - The pancreas releases another hormone to raisethe blood sugar (glucose) level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
Food enters the body

input question: What is the missing first step of the following process: - In this stage the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell - In prophase the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell - In metaphase the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and become connected to the spindle fiber at their centromere - In anaphase the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart - During telophase the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct rod-like shapes - Two new nuclear membranes then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the spindle fibers disappear.???
output answer: Prophase is the first and longest stage of mitosis

What is the missing first step of the following process: - The female lays eggs - The eggs are incubated by the parents, by sitting on them, for weeks - The bird hatches from an egg - The parents feed them as the continue to grow - Develop flight feathers - The parents teach them to fly - After learning to fly they leave the nest to live on their own - The next year they breed beginning the cycle again -

Q: What is the missing first step of the following process: - Food is chewed and mixed with saliva (spit) - Food travels down the esophagus (throat) - Food travels into the stomach - Acid in the stomach breaks the food down further - Food travels into the small intestine - Nutrients from food are absorbed into the blood stream - Food travels into the large intestine - Most of the remaining material is now waste - The waste is eventually removed from the body.
A:
Food is put into mouth
