People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.

The human body is organized in different levels according to their complexity.

The levels are the folowing (increasing complexity).

1. Atom (N, O, C,..)

2. Molecule (Protein, lipids, water...)

3. Organelle (mitochondria, golgi apparatus,...)

4. Cell (blood cells, bone cell,..)

5. Tissue (connective tissue, epithelial tissue,..)

6. Organ (lungs, kidney,..)

7. Organ system (skeletal system, muscuar system,...)

8. Organism (the human body)

Each of the levels is formed by an agrupation of the previous level. For example, cells are formed by a number of organelles, and a group of cells form a tissue.

Cells are the basic units of structure of the body, and there are different types of them.

2. Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a process of the body by which the organism works to maintain a stable internal environment, while adjusting to changes in the external environment.

This process is possible because of the work of both the nervous system and the endocrine system. While the first controles the body's activities and detects the necesity of adjustments, the second regulates the activities by using hormones.

Almost all coal used today was produced during the Carboniferous period from dead animals in the swamps.
Ann [662]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Almost all coal that is used today has its origins in the Carboniferous period. The Carboniferous period was a warm and wet one, with the majority of the land being swampy and covered with dense rainforests of ancient tree species. By the end of this period, the climate quickly changed, resulting int he collapse of the rainforests. As the trees were dying out, they were falling in the swamps, quickly being covered by the mud, so remaining largely preserved. Over time they got exposed to higher pressure and temperatures as they were getting deeper into the crust, eventually resulting in the formation of the coal.
