Describe the relationship between cfcs and the earth’s protective ozone layer

Biology
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The relationship between CFCs and ozone layer is that the release of CFCs in the atmosphere harms or depletes the ozone layer

Explanation:

CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons are made up of chemical compounds like carbon,fluorine and chlorine. They are used as important refrigerants and solvents in the manufacturing of refrigerators, ACs, coolers and aerosols sprays. When it is released in the environment due to improper appliance disposal or leakages it goes high up in the atmosphere where it is broken down by the UV rays and then the chlorine atoms released after this process attack the ozone molecules and destroy them. Therefore, depleting the ozone layer.

The outer hair cells change length in response to basilar membrane motion. What does that accomplish?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.

What is basilar membrane motion?

Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.

The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.

With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

The main function of the small intestine is nutrient absorption. Which of the following structural qualities of the intestine in
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

Pollution and climate change can cause coral reefs to die. How would the medical field most likely be directly affected if coral
Marizza181 [45]
<h3>Answer: <u><em>Hope this helps</em></u></h3><h3><u><em /></u></h3>

Explanation:

<h2><u><em>Climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to greenhouse gases derived from human activities. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2>

Can someone briefly explain what I need to do to calculate my VO2 max? Thank you
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:Although VO2 max is a good marker of fitness, it does present some downfalls. You can't really get an accurate measure .

Explanation:So, one way to determine your max VO2 pace is to warm up, then run for 8 minutes at the maximum intensity level you can sustain for 8 minutes. If, for simplicity's sake, you ran one mile, then your VO2 max training pace is 8 minutes/mile.
