If a wildfire destroyed all the trees in a forest, what might happen to the ecosystem? Select all that apply.

1 answer:

4 0

Okay, I googled it because I wasn’t sure but, according to the article *ahem* “Destructive as forest fires may seem, forests often regrow in their wake. In some cases, however, forest fires become so intense they cause severe damage to the soil that may take years or even decades to repair”.

Hope this helped!

The incidence of skin cancer has increased dramatically in parts of Australia where people are experiencing greater UV exposure

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. stratospheric ozone depletion

2. climate change

3. desertification/land degradation

4. freshwater decline

5. biodiversity loss.

Explanation:

1) Stratospheric ozone depletion- ozone layer is the protective layer around the earth that protects us from harmful rays such as UV rays coming from the sun. There are depletions or holes in the ozone layer in some parts of Australia and therefore, therefore leading to skin cancer.

2) climatic change - The change in the average temperature or precipitation of an area that takes place due to global warming that changes the earth's climate is changing rapidly.

3) desertification or land degradation - It occurs due to past overuse of fertilizer or barren land that has zero crop yield.

4 )freshwater decline - freshwater is an essential part of the irrigation of crops in agriculture and due to the downfall of groundwater its decline the freshwater produce in these parts.

5) biodiversity loss - Coral reefs are habitats for many aquatic organisms and used as various ways of biodiversity. If there is a loss or decrease in their numbers it will affect and decline the biodiversity of the area.

Two test tubes are filled with a solution of bromthymol blue. A student exhales through a straw into each tube, and the bromthym

Explanation:

The plant is utilizing CO2 in photosynthesis

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Bromothymol blue, an acid indicator, goes from blue to yellow when reacting with acid. The color change in sunlight confirmed the use of CO2, dissolved within the solution as carbonic acid- its removal from the solution makes the more basic, and the solution goes from yellow (acidic) to blue (alkaline).

CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, it depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.
Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor occurs in both plants and animals.

What process occurs in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?

Naddika [18.5K]

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided in the question and neither they are found anywhere therefore based on the previous knowledge this can be answered.

Since both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes are living therefore they perform the metabolism or chemical reactions in the form of process.

Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes perform almost similar process like the cellular respiration, photosynthesis by green colored organisms, the Central dogma related process like the replication, transcription and translation.

The central dogma related processes differ in these process only in terms of the site they are performed and a few modifications which are characteristics of the eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotes, the transcription and translation are coupled and takes place in the cytosol whereas in eukaryotes transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytosol.

Also in eukaryotes, modifications like the splicing, alternative splicing, capping and tailing are observed which are not observed in the prokaryotes.

Which question is most important to humanistic and positive psychology?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

D, what do people need to be happy

Explanation:

first we need to understand what positive psychology means. Positive Psychology according to Wikipedia can be defined as <em>the scientific study of the "good life", or the positive aspects of the human experience that make life worth living. </em>

Therefore the correct option is D
