Natural gas and petroleum, upon burning, produce carbon dioxide. If you look at methane and the such, these hydrocarbons react with oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water.

The claim that petroleum is not carbon based is downright wrong. Methane is a hydrocarbon, and petroleum is a combination of complex hydrocarbons with varying chains of carbon atoms, some having 6 carbon atoms, others 60, giving it the viscous feel.

Coal deposits may be found in many places, but are still scarce and poses A LOT of risks, for example children were often harmed during the Industrial Revolution as a result of breathing in too much of the dirty air. Even now, coal mining is not without risk.

The only right answer then is the last one, where nuclear power does not produce air pollution. It relies on nuclear fission, where upon the splitting of uranium atoms they release energy, and this energy is harnessed by scientists for the betterment of all.

Answer:

Part A: Both the parents must be the carrier of the diseases that is, Cc.

Part B: one out of four or 25 percent chances are there that their offspring would have cystic fibrosis.

As cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, the individual needs to carry two copies of the recessive allele that is, homozygous recessive (cc).

It is stated that neither of the parents has the disorder but their offspring show the phenotype, then both the parents must be the carrier of the disorder that is, both must heterozygous (Cc).

The offspring produces by this cross can have three types of genotypes CC, Cc, cc in 1:2:1.

Thus, only one out of four would show the disease.

What is the structure of the cell membrane and how does it limit particle movement?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The structure of a cell membrane is the outer layer of the cell and it contain various cell organelles which are present in both animal and plant cell. It's act as a barrier between the outside environment and cellular content of the cell. It comprises of phospholipid bilayer and integral protein which allow molecules to pass through the membrane and it limits the movement of molecules in the membrane because of it's hydrophobic interior which make the passage of molecules to be selectively permeable.
