Answer:
D. DDT
Explanation:
DDT is highly persistent in the environment means that it break down very slowly in the environment. The half-life for DDT is from 2 to 15 years. Half-life is the time needed for the degradation of half of the compound. Persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances (PBTs) are chemicals that break down slowly in the environment and its accumulation in living organisms are toxic. Some PBTs are dispersed through air currents while some uses other environmental pathways, resulting in contamination of regions far from their points of origin.
I would guess C, hope that helps!
Answer:
As the human population has grown, the need for more land has caused an increase in the cutting down of forest lands for habitation and farming. The result has been an increase in soil erosion, an increase in species extinction from habitat loss, and a reduction of oxygen supplied by the trees, as well as lower amounts of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. Industrial and personal use of fossil fuels has dramatically increased the amount of air pollution in the atmosphere while systematically using up the supply of the non-renewable resources such as coal, oil and natural gas

Explanation:
Answer:
M phase: 4.8 hr
Prophase: 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 0.84 hr
Telophase: 0.6 hr
Explanation:
Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:
M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr
Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr
Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr
