Ans.

The greenhouse gases are defined as gases that absorbs and emit solar energy within a thermal IR range (infrared range). These gases trap the warmth of sun in the lower atmosphere and thus, increase the temperature of environment.

The greenhouse gases result in greenhouse effect that causes increase in Earth's average temperature. Primary greenhouse gases, present in atmosphere of Earth include carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide.

Which of these energy transformations is taking place in the chimpmunk when its cells use the plants sugars to carry out cell pr

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. chemical energy -> kinetic energy

B. kinetic energy -> solar energy

C. solar energy -> chemical energy

D. kinetic energy -> nuclear energy

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

All living organisms need energy to carry out certain processes in their body. This energy is obtained in form of ATP (chemical energy) when their food molecules is broken down via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

This chemical energy (ATP) is needed to perform cellular processes in the body. According to this question, a chipmunk (animal) will utilize the energy it derives (ATP) from breaking down plant sugars to carry out its cell processes. This means that it will transform CHEMICAL ENERGY → KINETIC ENERGY.

Note that, kinetic energy is the energy due to motion in the Chipmunk.

Create a phylogenetic tree with the following animals: human, chip, gorilla, orangutan, (hint you might have to research DNA dif

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The phylogenetic tree can be shown in the attachment.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree can be described as a diagram which depicts evolutionary histories among organisms of different species. The organisms which are more closely related are more closer to one another in a phylogenetic tree.

Human, chip, gorilla, orangutan all are greater apes whose complete DNA have been sequenced. The sequencing of their genomes showed that humans have the closest relationship with chimpanzees. Hence, scientists believe that humans might have evolved from the chimpanzees.
