How are pollutants released by fossil fuels and how do they damage your health and the environment?

Biology

Rufina [12.5K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer AND Explanation:

Fossil fuels are substances that are combusted to provide energy. They include coal, natural gas and oil. Nitrogen(IV) oxide is a byproduct of all fossil fuel combustion that contribute to acid rain and ground-level ozone. Nitrogen (IV) oxide can burn lung tissue making people more susceptible to asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic respiratory diseases.  When gases like sulphur (IV) oxide and nitrogen (IV) oxide mix they form acid rain and other precipitation when dissolved in water. Acidic precipitation increases the acidity of lakes and streams, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms.

Excess production of CO2 by industries results in green housse effect which causes global warming. The gases are also poisonous to the respiratory system causing breathing difficulties, eye irritation and headache.

The typical male turkey has a mass of 17.5 lbs whereas the typical female turkey has a mass of 8.0 lbs. How many ounces of insec
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

It have been shown that domestic  turkeys require about 13.6 grams of food per pound of body weight each day to sustain weight. A gobbler is a male turkey.

The food consumed by a male turkey that is 17.5 lbs = 13.6 grams of food per pound * 17.5 pound = 238 grams.

7 gobblers = 7 male turkeys, hence:

The food consumed by 7 gobblers = 238 grams * 7 = 1666 grams

Question 26:
Ksenya-84 [330]
(1) The energy is stored in the 2nd and 3rd phosphate bonds of ATP. When the 2nd and 3rd phosphate link breaks, energy is released, turning ATP to ADP. A third phosphate is added to ADP to convert it to ATP and store energy.

(2) Alcoholic fermentation takes place in yeast and results in the production of ethyl alchol from pyruvate.
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in animals and results in the production of lactic acid from pyruvate.
Neither of these processes will be slowed or stopped if there is no oxygen present.

(3) Glycolysis= 2 ATP
Krebs Cycle= 2 ATP
Electron Transport Chain= 32 ATP
Total ATP= 36 ATP

glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain

(4) Stage 1 is referred to as the light-dependent reaction stage.
6H2O and sunlight are the starting molecules.
ATP and NADPH are the last molecules (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)

Cycle of Calvin.
6CO2 with ADP (Adenosine diphosphate)

(5) In this case, when 6 atoms of Carbon and 12 atoms of water are mixed together, the plant gets glucose, 6 atoms of water, and 6 atoms of oxygen out of it.

(6) Why? In the absence of Lactic acid fermentation, our bodies would be unable to perform many activities, including allowing our muscles to continue creating ATP from glucose when oxygen levels are low or during severe activity, as well as allowing bacteria to carry out its functions in our bodies.
When? When our cells want energy, they break down basic chemicals such as glycolysis in order to produce it.

(7) Photosynthesis is the process through which carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. During the process of respiration, glucose and oxygen are exchanged for carbon dioxide and water. glucose (C6H12O6) combined with oxygen (O2) yields CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) with water (H2O) and ATP energy.

(1) During the fermentation process, an organism turns a carbohydrate into either alcohol or acid, which is carried out in the absence of oxygen.

(2) Because glycolysis is dependent on it, glycolysis also recycles it in order to allow it to enter glycolysis.

(3) Glycolysis and pyruvate

(4) When yeast rises, air bubbles are created.

(5) Lactic acid builds up in muscles after strenuous exercise, making them sore.
