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.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Vacuoles in plants are much larger than those in animals.

Explanation:

The cell membrane of animals is not thicker than those in plants. In addition, plant cells have a thick cell wall surrounding the cell membrane that is made of cellulose and provides great protection against osmotic and mechanical stress.

Vacuoles in plants ARE much larger than vacuoles in animals, because plant cells r<u>equire much more water</u> and other substances to function properly. Animals, on the other hand, can ingest water and nutrients through food.

Animal cells DO have chromosomes. Every organism has chromosomes in their cells: prokaryotes have one single circular chromosome, while eukaryotes have many linear chromosomes (humans, for example, have 46 chromosomes).

Plant cells HAVE chloroplasts, as these organelles are crucial, since they participate in the process of photosynthesis - which is fundamental for the nourishment of the plant.

The statement that belongs in Kiko's report is Vacuoles in plants are much larger than those in animals.
