The correct option is D.

What are fossil fuels ?

The components of fossil fuels are decaying plants and animals. These fuels may be burned to provide energy and can be found in the crust of the Earth. An example of a fossil fuel is coal, as well as oil and natural gas.

The main cause of the increase in CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels is the burning of more wood and fossil fuels, as well as more people breathing in as a result of the planet's rapidly growing human population.

Examples of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are coal and wood. CO2 levels are increasing as a result of wildfires and deforestation.

Due to population growth, there is now more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of human breathing.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The correct words for the three blanks are as follows:

1. Endoplasmic reticulum. 2. Golgi apparatus. 3. Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

During the translation stage of protein synthesis, signal sequences are either attached or excluded from a synthesized protein in order to indicate the right location it should be sent to. Proteins that possess signal sequences are usually sent to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they will be folded into their right shapes. From the endoplasmic reticulum the proteins are then transported into Golgi apparatus via membrane vesicles. In the Golgi apparatus, proteins undergo their final modifications before they are transported to their final destinations. The final destination of glucose carrier proteins is the plasma membrane, where they help glucose molecules to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.

Explain how the discoveries by Rosalind Franklin
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

In 1951 Franklin joined the Biophysical Laboratory at King’s College, London, as a research fellow. There she applied X-ray diffraction methods to the study of DNA. When she began her research at King’s College, very little was known about the chemical makeup or structure of DNA. However, she soon discovered the density of DNA and, more importantly, established that the molecule existed in a helical conformation. Her work to make clearer X-ray patterns of DNA molecules laid the foundation for James Watson and Francis Crick to suggest in 1953 that the structure of DNA is a double-helix polymer, a spiral consisting of two DNA strands wound around each other.

<h2>Down Syndrome</h2>

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21

  • Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
  • Down syndrome is usually caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
  • Prior to or at conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separates
  • With development in embryo the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body;this type of Down syndrome which accounts for 95% of cases is called trisomy 21
  • Maternal age is the only factor that has been linked to an increased chance of having a baby with Down syndrome resulting from nondisjunction;here environmental agents such as drugs, chemicals, and radiation act as mutagens which induce mutation in the fetus
