Answer:

Explanation:

Over the past 250 year or two and a half centuries fossil fuels have been burnt at a very fast rate to meet the various human needs. These fossil fuels contains huge amount of carbon dioxide. And when these fossil fuels are burnt in power factories, power plants, cars etc. carbon moves from the fossil to the atmosphere. And since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas it traps more heat and hence there is a global temperature rise.

It is estimated that every year almost five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels. And since this amount of carbon dioxide is very huge for plants to convert all of them into oxygen via photosynthesis it leads to disbalancing in the carbon cycle that is more carbon dioxide is produced than the amount can be utilized which finally leads to rise in Earth's temperature as all of the extra carbondioxide ends up in Trapping more sun light.

What is a major role that fungi play in ecosystems
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Fungi play a crucial role in the balance of ecosystems. They colonize most habitats on earth, preferring dark, moist conditions. They can thrive in seemingly-hostile environments, such as the tundra. However, most members of the Kingdom Fungi grow on the forest floor where the dark and damp environment is rich in decaying debris from plants and animals. In these environments, fungi play a major role as decomposers and recyclers, making it possible for members of the other kingdoms to be supplied with nutrients and to live.

Which evidence is consistent with the endosymbiotic hypothesis for the origin of the mitochondrion?
Sauron [17]
Bacteria, a prokaryote, has circular DNA, as do mitochondria and chloroplasts. This provides support for the Endosymbiotic Theory, which states that the mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells were once aerobic bacteria (prokaryote) that were ingested by a large anaerobic bacteria (prokaryote).
