Which behavior can reduce pollution that occurs due to the use of coal?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Coal is majorly used to produces electricity. The coal is ignited and the heat produced used to heat water to steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines with a dynamo effect to produce electricity. Turning off lights when not in use reduces the demand for electricity hence reducing the amount of coal needed to meet this demand.

Other ways to conserve energy is using bulbs with low energy demand - such as LEDs - and  improving natural lighting indoors.

Please answer correctly. I really need this. Its not a joke.
Kruka [31]

Answer: Steep, high velocity, no silting. The high water speed picks up silt from the bottom instead of letting it settle to the bottom. When the land gets level like often happens at the mouth of rivers where the water spreads out and slows down, silt settles to the bottom and you could get a wide, shallow delta.

Check all of the statements that are true regarding keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer;

-Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium forms the epidermis of the skin.

-In keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue, the cells on the apical (outer) surface are dead.

Explanation;

-Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue found covering and lining parts of the body. Stratified squamous epithelium may be keratinized or nonkeratinized. Non-keratinized surfaces must be kept moist by bodily secretions to prevent them from drying out.

-The cells on the surface of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium are very flat. Not only are they flat, but they are no longer alive. They have no nucleus or organelles. They are filled with a protein called keratin, which is what makes our skin waterproof.

What are some possible consequences if transgenic salmon escape from their pens into the ocean population?
babunello [35]

Answer:

If the transgenic salmon escapes from their pens into the ocean population there are chances that they would compete with the wild salmons for food and space. They may also bring new diseases and changes to the food webs and ecosystem of the ocean.

Explanation:

A transgenic organism or genetically modified organism is the one that undergoes alternation through recombinant DNA technology.

No, I do not think that FDA should approve Aquabounty of growing and selling transgenic salmon since there is higher chance that they may interfere and disturb with the ecosystem and might also bring new diseases.
