The correct answer is - one-half.

In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.

The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Their answer about the location or function of the cells.

Explanation:

Since there are no options to select as the answer, i will just try my best to list a couple of them.

Langerhans Cells are from the family of cells named "Dendritic Cells" because of their tree like shapes. They can be found on parts of our body that come into contact with foreign environments or particles, such as skin, on the inside of our mouth, nose and stomach etc.

The nursing instructor could evaluate the students' knowledge by asking them where Langerhans Cells are located in our body, on which layer of our skin they can be found or what their primary functions are.

I hope this answer helps.
