The smoke from prescribed burn and managed wildfires is an extremely toxic air pollutant that is very dangerous to<span> unborn fetuses, infant children and elderly people</span>. It also affects normal healthy people without warning. Wood smoke pollution is 12 times more carcinogenic than cigarette smoke, attacks the body cells up to 40 times longer, and kills at least 40,000 adults and children every year. It contains a toxic soup of more than 4,000 chemical compounds of harmful gases and particle matter that go deep in the lungs and kill people, 69 of which are known human carcinogens, including arsenic, particulate matter, ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, dioxin, nitrogen oxides, and radioactive material. Warnings to stay inside on high pollution days are misleading and false. The tiny particles and gases seep inside of homes reaching up to 70 percent of the outside pollution level. No one is safe inside or outside of their homes.

Some of the possible consequences of preventing slash and burns and natural wildfires, is that the soil around the old forest may start to erode and lose its mineral wealth and resources. Also, if not controlled, plant life can actually take over human-built structures, and may destroy the structures. Some examples includes: "The Old Piano Tree" in California

The endosymbiotic theory provides an explanation for the origin of chloroplasts. Which trait of chloroplasts supports this expla
kondor19780726 [428]
The double membrane. It's theorized that chloroplasts used to be their own single-celled organism in the environment (and therefore with its own membrane). Then, the theory states, a larger cell took in the chloroplast by endocytosis, which involves surrounding the chloroplast in the large cell's own membrane. The chloroplast would then have two membranes surrounding it. This is similar to the thinking for mitochondria becoming an organelle as well. Hope this helps! :)
