Choose one or more:
A. The Earth absorbs sunlight and reemits it in the ultraviolet.
B. If there were no greenhouse effect, liquid water would not exist on the surface of the Earth.
C. It would be beneficial to humanity to develop technology that would eliminate the greenhouse effect on Earth.
D. The Earth has reached thermal equilibrium, emitting the same amount of energy into space as it absorbs from the Sun.

B. If there were no greenhouse effect, liquid water would not exist on the surface of the Earth

D. The Earth has reached thermal equilibrium, emitting the same amount of energy into space as it absorbs from the Sun.

E. The more carbon dioxide there is in an atmosphere, the stronger the greenhouse effect will be

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect plays major role in the climate of our planet in diverse ways:

  • it is responsible for the existence of liquid water on the surface of the earth.
  • it allows the earth to reach an equilibrium with space in exchange of thermal energy.
  • carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has huge roles.

The greenhouse effects results from the abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases are able to prevent long wave solar radiation from leaving the surface of the earth. When the gases interacts with the radiation, it produces heat that warms the earth surface. Examples of these gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor e.t.c.

The warming of the surface helps to free freshwater trapped as ice and keeps it in the liquid form throughout.

In this exchange of energy, there is a balance between the amount of heat absorbed and radiated back into the atmosphere. As energy enters the earth, it is also radiated out into space. This helps to keep the earth temperature in balance.

<u>Cell culture i</u>s the method applied by scientists to grown, cells in the laboratory setting to study the cells for particular reasons.

Explanation:

Cell culture is basically a method for survival, reproduction etc which are done under controlled conditions in the space outside the environment. This is also used for data mining.

Purpose: Cell culture is used for propagation of virus

Advantages:

  • Vaccine production by replication of virus
  • Detection of viral cell of virus
  • Convenient easy and economical method

Disadvantages

  • Maintenance of sterile aseptic conditions.  
  • Increases microbial contamination

What travels through a food chain or web?
Inessa05 [86]
Energy travels through a food chain/web. When an organism eats another organism, the energy from the food is passed to the eater. For example, we humans eat food to give ourselves enough calories (energy) to function properly.
