Acid rain is rainfall made acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environment harm, mainly to the forests and lakes. The main cause of acidic rainfall is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, the waste gases from which contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides which combine with atmospheric water to form acids. It is important to explain that the more sulfur impurities that there are, then the more sulfur iv oxide is released into the atmosphere, causing acid deposition in the rain water and into cities and towns.

This question is unfortunately incomplete. The burning of coal containing sulfur can lead to the release of sulfur oxide compounds to the atmosphere. These compounds <span>combine with atmospheric water to form sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid lowers the pH of atmospheric water vapour, and during rainfall events, precipitated rainfall will be of a low pH (acid rain).</span>

as compared with the production of egg cells, sperm cell production A) involves a jellylike outer covering b) occurs at a slower
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is:  d) begins later in life

Eggs or female reproductive cells are formed well before birth in a huge number (primordial oocytes). But, the number of oocyte decreases after birth constantly (there are 2 million oocytes at birth and 40,000 of them in puberty). At menopause, no egg cells are left.

On the other hand, the first sperms are formed only from puberty, but the production of those cells never stops.

What is waters role in light reactions
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

water act as a reactant in light reaction.

Explanation:

Water undergo hydrolysis in presence of sunlight to form proton(H+) and hydroxyl ion(OH-) ion. The OH- ion liberates electron to reaction center of photosystem 1 thereby exciting the later .The excited photosystem then donates that extra electron to the primary electron acceptor and from the primary electron acceptor the electron moves through various electron carriers to generate ATP .

    Basically water act as reducing agent in photosynthesis process.

faltersainse [42]

Complete Question

Ruben Ward has been weight lifting and eating a high protein diet. Below is Ruben's profile and what he ate for a day. He entered his profile information and food intake into Diet & Wellness Plus and then pulled the Diet & Wellness Plus Reports. View Ruben’s Intake vs Goals and Macronutrient Ranges Reports and then answer the questions below. Profile for Ruben Ward 1. Age: 19 years old 2. Gender: Male 3. Height: 5 ft, 8 inches 4. Weight: 205 lbs 5. Non-Smoker 6. Activity Level: Active

Ruben has recently taken up weight lifting, and his friends at the gym mistakenly believe they should eat more protein to build muscle. The DRI for protein for healthy adults is 0.8 g per kg body weight. If Ruben weighs 205 lbs (93 kg), how many grams protein per kg body weight did he eat on this day?

a. 5.37 g/kg

b. 10.33 g/kg

c. 3.55 g/kg

d. 4.88 g/kg

Answer:

c. 3.55g/kg

Explanation:

RDI means Recommended Dietary intake. It is the required amount of a nutrient expected to be taken by an individual for optimal health.

The Recommended Dietary Intake I'd protein falls withing the range of 0.8 grams per kg to 1.8 grams per kg

For Reuben

He weighs 93 kg

If Reuben consumed 330 grams of protein, his grams of protein per kg body weight is

330 grams ÷ 93kg

= 3.55g/kg.
