Answer:

a. oxygen

Explanation:

If you could build a time machine and go back to Earth's distant past, you would have an unpleasant surprise: you wouldn't be able to breathe. Without the help of equipment, you would suffocate in a matter of minutes.

That's because during the first half of our planet's life there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. The gas so fundamental to life as we know it came about only 2.4 billion years ago.

The "Great Oxidation Event" was one of the most important things to happen on this planet. Without it, there could never be animals breathing oxygen, such as insects, fish and certainly humans.

Which symptom is unique to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) and is not observed in multiple sclerosis (ms)?
Nonamiya [84]

ALS is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease. MS is a scarring and hardening of the sheath around the nerves in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. MD is a muscular disorder with specific kinds of MD involving different muscles in the body. MD is almost exclusively hereditary

<h3>What is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) ?</h3>

The motor neurons steadily degrade and eventually die as a result of ALS. The brain, spinal cord, and all the muscles in the body are connected by motor neurons. When motor neurons are destroyed, they stop communicating with the muscles, which prevents the muscles from working.

  • Five to ten percent of all ALS cases are familial, meaning the patient gets the illness from a parent. Typically, only one parent needs to have the disease-causing gene to have familial ALS.
