IMPACT:- carbon monoxide can cause organ failure as it reduces the amount of oxygen the hemoglobin been carried in the red blood cells to this organs in our body.

Carbon dioxide

SOURCE:- carbon dioxide can be from both human and natural source. Example of the sources includes; natural source ( ocean release, decomposition and respiration), human activities ( burning of coal, oil and natural gas, cement production etc)

IMPACT:- carbon dioxide causes difficulties in breathing as it displaces oxygen in the air.

It also increase the greenhouse effect (global warming) as more heat energy gets trapped by the atmosphere causing the planet to become warmer.

Sulphur dioxide

SOURCE:- sulphur dioxide mainly occur due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion at industrial facilities, in ships etc.

IMPACT:- Sulphur oxide has been linked to many health effect and diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. It also causes respiratory problems, asphlegm and asthma attacks, irritation of lungs, throat and nose as well.

Nitrogen oxides

SOURCES:- nitrogen oxides also comes from human activities such as; combustion of fossil fuel, making of nitric acid, refining metals as well as petrols, explosive, food manufacturing etc.

IMPACT:- Nitrogen oxides has also been linked to many respiratory health issues such as bronchitis and wheezing. It causes the lining of the lungs to inflame there by reduce the immunity of the lungs to respiratory diseases.

Methane

SOURCE:- methane can be from either natural or human activities. The natural source includes; food digestion by cattles, decay of organic materials. Human activities such as waste management, rice production, oil and gas production etc.

IMPACT:- Methane is considered a green house gas like carbon dioxide, it contributes to the trapping of heat energy in the atmosphere which causes global warming. It is also linked to serious health issues such cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.

Particulates

SOURCE:- particulates are fine tiny particles of matter found in the air, it might be in solid or liquid form. Example; dust, smoke, fumes etc. This particles can suspended in the air for an extended periods of time.

Which of these CORRECTLY explains the difference between the processes of photosynthesis and respiration?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) The Calvin cycle takes place only in the chloroplast.

The major difference between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis takes place only in plants while respiration takes place in all the living organisms including plants and humans.

Green plants and few bacteria contain special organelle called chloroplast which enables them to perform photosynthesis.

Hence, Calvin cycle (light independent phase of photosynthesis) takes place only in plants that too in chloroplasts.

In contrast, Krebs cycle usually takes place in mitochondria in both plants and animals and glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The electron transport chain takes place in mitochondria in animals whereas in plants it takes place in both mitochondria and thylakoid membrane.

This genetic disorder is characterized by different health problems including, among others, fragile bones, reduced skeletal mass, skin hyperlaxity, malformations in the central nervous system, etc. Clinically, osteogenesis imperfecta must be managed by an interdisciplinary medical team, since patients may present a clinical picture ranging from mild to lethal. In the first place, it is imperative to provide health care to avoid fractures, exercises to maintain muscle mass, exercise to improve motor skills, skincare by specialized dermatologists, etc.
