<h3><u>An area can qualify as a biodiversity hotspot if it meets the following two conditions: </u></h3>
  • The area must have at least "1500 species of vascular endemic plants". In other words, the area must have "high percentage of plant life" which is not found anywhere else on the earth and is unique to that particular area.
  • The area must have lost at least 70% of its native vegetation. The area must be a threatened area and must not have more than 30% of the native vegetation remaining.

Which process most likely enabled the formation of the early protists? A. photosynthesis B. endosymbiosis C. conjugation D. bina
natita [175]

Answer:

Answer B. Endosymbiosis

Explanation:

Early protists were first eukaryotic organisms and had several membrane bound organelles. The anaerobic protists evolved by acquiring purple bacteria. The purple bacteria have the ability to carry out aerobic cellular respiration. The endosymbiont transformed into mitochondria in due course of evolution. Similarly, the photosynthesizing protists were evolved by endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria which in turn was transformed into chloroplast during further evolution.

Most cells fall within the range of 5-20 microns. What factors keep the size of the cell within these boundaries?
Tema [17]

Answer: Cytoplasm and organelles

Explanation:

Normally, a cell cannot attain a size greater than 20 microns due to the limits imposed by the size inter-relationships of its components. For example, there is a relationship between the amount of nuclear material and the size of a cell; this limits cells to a size where there is an optimal proportion of nuclear material to the rest of the cell.

The land on the leeward side of a mountain range is in a rain shadow.<br> (True or False question)
Dmitry [639]
<span>The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.</span>

explain the differences between normal air circulation and how the air behaves when a temperature inversion occurs
dybincka [34]

Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.    

When there is an increase in temperature with altitude, that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.

So how air circulation behaves during inversion?

So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:

• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.  

• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.

• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.  

• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.

Hope it helps! :)
