Answer:
1.This doesn't help COMPLETELY get rid of pollution. It might help lessen the pollution, but it definitely won't solve it, because there are also other things that cause pollution.
2.The main problem with solar power that has stifled its use is the fact that energy production only takes place when the sun is shining. And it won't be beneficial to the countries that aren't really close to the equator ( the middle east) and that might be a problem cause there just might not be enough energy/electricity.
Answer:
A - Stigma
B - Anther
C - Filament
D - Style
E - Ovary
F - Petal
Explanation:
The above are the correct answers of the image drawn in the attachment.
These are parts of a flower.
A - Stigma: It is the head of the pistil. It contains a sticky substance that catches pollen grains from other pollinators.
B - Anther: This is the head of the stamen. It produces pollen grain.
C - Filament: It is a long slender part of the flower. It attaches the anther to the flower.
D - Style: It actually holds the stigma.
E - Ovary: It holds the ovule. Found at the base of the pistil.
F - Petal: It attracts pollinators to the flower.
Answer:
Humans need energy for just about any type of function they perform. Houses must be heated, energy is required for industry and agriculture and even within our own bodies a constant flow of energy takes place. All processes that provide us with the luxuries of every day live we can no longer live without require energy generation. This is an industrial process that can be performed using various different sources. These sources can be either renewable or non-renewable. Renewable energy sources are replaced in time and will therefore not run out easily. However, non-renewable energy sources are threatening to run out if our standard of usage becomes too high.
Nowadays many renewable energy sources are available for use, for example solar and wind energy and water power. Ironically, we still gain most of our energy from non-renewable energy sources, commonly known as fossil fuels (figure 1). The non-renewability of these sources will probably cause prices to rise up to a point where they are no longer economically feasible.
Figure 1: fossil fuel combustion is part of the carbon cycle (right)
Fossil fuels consist of deposits of once living organisms. The organic matter takes centuries to form. Fossil fuels principally consist of carbon and hydrogen bonds. There are three types of fossil fuels which can all be used for energy provision; coal, oil and natural gas. Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed over millions of years by decay of land vegetation. When layers are compacted and heated over time, deposits are turned into coal. Coal is quite abundant compared to the other two fossil fuels. Analysts sometimes predict that worldwide coal use will increase as oil supplies become scarcer. Current coal supplies could last for 200 years or more. Coal is usually extracted in mines. Since the middle of the 20th century, coal use has doubled. Since 1996 its application is declining again. Many developing countries depend on coal for energy provision because they cannot afford oil or natural gas. China and India are major users of coal for energy provision.
Oil is a liquid fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of marine microorganisms deposited on the sea floor. After millions of years the deposits end up in rock and sediment where oil is trapped in small spaces. It can be extracted by large drilling platforms. Oil is the most widely used fossil fuel. Crude oil consists of many different organic compounds which are transformed to products in a refining process. It is applied in cars, jets, roads and roofs and many other. Oil cannot be found everywhere on earth and consequentially, there have been wars on oil supplies. A well-known example is the Gulf War of 1991.
Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel that is versatile, abundant and relatively clean compared to coal and oil. Like oil, it is formed from the remains of marine microorganisms. It is a relatively new type of energy source. Until 1999, more coal was used than natural gas. Natural gas has now overtaken coal in developed countries. However, people are afraid that like oil, natural gas supplies will run out. Some scientists have even predicted this might happen by the middle or end of the 21st century. Natural gas mainly consists of methane (CH4). It is highly compressed in small volumes at large depths in the earth. Like oil, it is brought to the surface by drilling. Natural gas reserves are more evenly distributed around the globe than oil supplies.

Explanation:
NOTE: the steps of the signal transduction pathway to be arranged is in the attached file.
Answer:
The correct signal transduction pathway in order from the releasing of glucagon into the blood to the promotion of glycogenolysis includes:
- Glucagon binds extracellulary to G- protein coupled receptor.
-G protein releases GDP and binds FTP
-Activated G protein activates adenylate (adenylate) cyclase.
-Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cAMP.
-Cyclic AMP activates protein kinase A
- phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates glucogen phosphorylase, an enzyme needed for glycogenolysis.
Explanation:
As carbohydrates from food consumed is digested, it's end product, the glucose, is assimilated into the cells for energy production through the help of insulin in a process called glycolysis. Excess of glucose is stored in the liver as GLYCOGEN.
In cases where there is reduced sugar in the blood (hypoglycemic state) another pathway (known as glycogenolysis through
GLUCAGON hormone) is initiated to elevate the concentration of glucose in the blood.
