Answer:

The correct answer is C: <em>air bubbles.</em>

Explanation:

Analysis of retained gases in ice, through perforations of over 2000 meters deep, has allowed determining the composition of the atmosphere in the past, knowing the CO² atmospheric concentrations and other gases involved in the greenhouse effect for at least 150,000 years. These concentrations have varied in the temporal scale of glaciation, showing low concentrations during glacial periods with low temperatures, and relatively high concentrations during interglacial periods with high temperatures. Between these two periods, abrupt variations on temperature and gas concentration are detected, meaning that changes in CO² cause changes in temperature.  

The increase in CO² is a highly important component in global climatic change and possibly the best documented. This information is the best paleoclimatic documents that complement with others such as marine sediments and tree rings, letting know about the principal traits of terrestrial weather in the lasts 420,000 years, practically four glacial-interglacial cycles.

Jon likes hiking. He observes that whenever he hikes up a hill, he breathes heavier than when he is on flat ground. Which two st
mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct statements are:

  • Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.
  • The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

The amount of oxygen in air and atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in altitude.

So, when Jon hikes up the hill he faces two problems; lack of oxygen in the air and decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Decreased atmospheric pressure makes it difficult for the lungs to breathe in the air and lack of oxygen decrease the blood oxygen level.

In addition, physical activity like hiking increases the oxygen demand of the body.

Due to these factors the respiratory system struggles to meet the oxygen demand of the body. The brain detect the same and triggers the respiratory and circulatory system to work more in order to meet the oxygen demand.

It causes the shortness of breath or heavy breathing, high blood pressure, tiredness, dizziness etc.

How do mutations affect the cell
liberstina [14]
Generally, DNA Polymerase will correct the mutation before it inhibits the cell. <span>By changing a gene’s instructions for making a protein, a mutation can cause the protein to malfunction or to be missing entirely. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder.</span>
