Outline the effect of CFCs on the ozone layer.

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
8 0
The ozone layer is a stratospheric region composed of Ozone (Triatomic Oxygen) 

CFC´s (Chlorofluorcarbons) are broken down by ultraviolet radioation to release chloride ions wich react with ozone breaking it down into oxygen.

One chlorine atom can destroy 100.000 ozone molecules - smallamounts of CFC can break down large amounts of ozone.

The thinning of the ozone layer by CFCs reduces the absorption of UV light in the stratosphere

A graded hyperpolarization of a membrane can be induced by _____.
Doss [256]

Explanation:

In biology, hyperpolarization is any change in the cell's membrane potential, which makes it more polarized. That is, hyperpolarization is an increase in the absolute value of the cell's membrane potential. Thus, changes in the membrane voltage in which the membrane potential is more clearly positive or negative, are hyperpolarizations.
