Answer:  D) II and III only

The mass of the plant is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from the carbon dioxide absorbed by the plant from the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis utilizes the light energy from the sun to be converted into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates, which is a source of carbon. The water is absorbed by the plants through the roots. The water makes up 75% of the entire plant structure. It is a necessary ingredient of each plant cell, it is a solvent which allows the dissolution of plant nutrients, hormones and toxins. Water keeps the plants in the erect state, in the absence of water wilting can occur and plant may die.

Which of these is an environmental effect of deforesation?
Nata [24]
"Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)"
The conversion of forests into agricultural plantations is a major cause of deforestation. The increase in global demand for commodities, such as palm oil and soybeans, are driving industrial-scale producers to clear forests at an alarming rate. Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, was named the “Fastest Forest Destroyer,” in the 2008 Guinness World Records. Even when efforts are made to replenish barren plantations, the depleted soil is not able to produce the same biodiversity it once was."
Forest clearing for livestock ranching is another contributor of deforestation. Since 1990, Brazil, a top exporter of beef, has lost an area of forest that is three-fourths the size of Texas. A strong global demand for beef, supported by governments such as in Brazil, is expanding this kind of deforestation.

boyakko [2]

accumulations of genetic mutations over time.

Genetic and epigenetic changes compound over time to cause cancer. While aging and chronic inflammation are the major causes of epigenetic changes, carcinogenic substances, UV radiation, and other conditions can also cause genetic changes. Our prior exposure levels and life history are reflected in the accumulation and patterns of changes in normal cells. The majority of accumulated changes are regarded as passengers, although they are linked to cancer drivers as they accumulate. Although only hypothesized for genetic changes, this has been demonstrated for aberrant DNA methylation. However, modern technology has made it possible to assess uncommon point mutations, and research has revealed that the rates of their accumulation do actually correspond with cancer risk.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The stomach of a cattle and other ruminants include a pouch like structure called a recticulum, where bacteria help breakdown the animals food.

Explanation:

Cattle is a ruminants and ruminants animals are animals that can chew the cord and have four chambered stomachs. Their stomachs are rumen, recticulum, abomasum and omasum. The abomasum is considered the true stomach because it has a structure similar to that of non ruminants. Recticulum is the second chambered stomach that is pouch like and it contains bacteria they help breakdown food. It collect the small digests molecule and move them to omasum.
