The correct option is (D) The ecological footprint of the United States is large because per capita resource use is high.

<h3>What is ecological footprint?</h3>
  • The Global Footprint Network advocates using the ecological footprint to determine how much nature is required to support a certain population or economy.
  • The ecological footprint accounting system tracks how much nature is being used and produced.The Ecological Footprint calculates the total productive areas for which a population, a person, or a product competes on the demand side.
  • It evaluates the ecological resources required by a specific population or product in order to produce the natural resources it consumes, as well as to absorb its waste, particularly carbon emissions.
  • The biocapacity of a city, state, or country, on the supply side, measures how productive its ecological resources are (including cropland, grazing land, forest land, fishing grounds, and built-up land).  
  • These regions can also be used to absorb the garbage we produce, particularly our carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels, especially if they are left unharvested.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The hot rocks and gas quickly melted some of the snow and ice capping the volcano, creating surges of water that eroded and mixed with loose rock debris to form volcanic mudflows (lahars). Several lahars poured down the volcano into river valleys, ripping trees from their roots and destroying roads and bridges.

When a potassium ion (K) moves from the soil into the vacuole of a cell on the surface of a root, it must pass through several c
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C) primary cell wall --> plasma membrane --> cytoplasm --> tonoplast

Explanation:

When a potassium ion moves from the ground into a vacuole of a plant cell, it must pass through the different structures that are part of it.

First, the outermost layer of the cell is the cell wall. Plant cells may have a primary and a secondary wall, but the latter is not always present. The primary wall is always located outwards (and in the case of having a secondary wall, it will be located between the primary wall and the plasma membrane).

Then, inside the cell wall, we will find the plasma membrane (also called plasmalemma).

When crossing the membrane, the ion will be in the cytoplasm of the cell and will be directed towards the vacuole, which is surrounded by its membrane called tonoplast. The vacuole is an organelle that has no definite shape, although it is always surrounded by the tonoplast, and it contains different substances such as water and enzymes.
