Answer:

B. Ocean levels rising from glaciers melting

Explanation:

Atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds our planet. The gases that make up the atmosphere are kept around the earth due to the pull of gravity and accompany its movement. The atmosphere is fundamental to the maintenance of life on earth because:

  • It is a source of oxygen, essential gas for life.
  • Regulates temperature and terrestrial climate.
  • It is responsible for the distribution of water on the planet (rain).
  • Protects the earth from cosmic radiation and meteors.

However, because of man's abuse of nature and the constant pollution caused by humans, the atmosphere has found it difficult to perform its functions efficiently, directly affecting life on the planet and the earth's geosphere. An example of this is the failure of the atmosphere to regulate the temperature of the planet causing a rise in temperature that causes a great melting of the polar glaciers. The result is rising sea levels, causing a serious risk of flooding the coastal regions.

Ocean levels rising from glaciers melting  describes the effect earths atmosphere has on earths geosphere.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Geo means earth and it talks about the ground to the bottom till the earth’s core. It also includes earth’s rock, minerals and that makes up the earth.  Earth’s atmosphere causes glaciers to melt and hence the Ocean levels rise.  

Though the earth’s crust seems safe there are lots of hidden things happening there is a shift happening in the earth’s plate. The ice bergs due to the rise of temperature in the atmosphere which causes the glaciers to melt hence increasing the water level.

azamat

Answer:

The correct answer is - the phenotypic ratio would be 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

The two traits that are dominant are free earlobe and straight thumb that are denoted by the E and T on their alternative recessive alleles attached lobe and hitchhiker thumbs denoted by the e and t respectively. The heterozygous condition will be EeTt.

The cross between EeTt and EeTt will produce gametes ET, Et, eT, and et by each. The phenotypic ratio of the cross would be 9:3:3:1, which means 9 out of 16 offspring will be dominant in both trait, 3 will be free lobe and hitchhiker thumb, 3 will be straight thumb and attached earlobe, and 1 will be recessive in both traits. For the cross please check the attached image.

Thus, the correct answer is - the phenotypic ratio would be 9:3:3:1.

Compare and contrast white meat and dark meat in poultry.
KATRIN_1 [288]

White meat are usually found at the breast and wings while dark meat are found at the legs of the chicken.

<h3>What are types of poultry?</h3>

Poultry is the type of meat that is gotten from birds such as the Muscovy ducks, mallard ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl, geese, quail, pigeons, ostriches and pheasants.

  • pyridoxine,

  • vitamin E,

  • zinc,

  • iron, and magnesium.

There are different type of poultry meat which include:

  • White poultry meat and

  • Dark poultry meat.

The white poultry meat are located at the breast and wings of the chicken and are known to contain 10% red fibres.

The dark poultry meat are located at the legs of the chicken and are known to contain 50% red fibres.

Therefore, although both white and dark poultry meat can be found in a bird, they are quite different because they contain different quantity of red fibres.

Which of the following are NOT energy reserves?
vladimir2022 [97]

The correct answer is C) carboxysomes

Carboxysomes are polyhedral inclusion bodies that contain enzyme ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). This is responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide in cyanobacteria. Carboxysomes have evolved as a consequence of the increase in oxygen concentration in the ancient atmosphere.

Thus, <em>carboxysomes are not energy reserves</em>, unlike another offered answers.
