The bone that's most commonly used to determine the height of the deceased is the femur (although the humerus can also be used). <span>The femur is measured in cm and the calculations may very according to the gender of the deceased and can be accurate within 5 cm.
The femur is a long bone that is hard and, therefore, can keep its integrity longer. As well as it is a bone that generally is proportional to the body.</span>
Ozone is formed by the reaction of of nitrous oxides and reactive organic substance catalyzed by sunlight. This is a photochemical reaction provided with ozone forming compounds and sunlight.
Acid rain is defined as nitrous(NO2) and sulfurous (SO2) compounds enter the atmosphere as smog thereby precipitating as acid rain. This is detrimental in the environment as well as in agriculture.
Global warming is precipitated by the burning of fossil fuels that increases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the main principle behind global warming.
Ocean acidification is when excessive carbon dioxide is dissolved in the oceans as carbonic acid thereby increasing the pH of the ocean. Increases in the pH of the ocean can affect the living conditions as well as industrial conditions near it.
Groundwater pollution is defined as contaminating the groundwater with the runoff from industrial agriculture including organic and inorganic wastes as well as infectious and nuclear wastes.
Algae blooms or algal blooms are precipitated by eutrophication or the increase in nutrients in water such as nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus from fertilizers. Eutrophication of water precipitates the abnormally high growth rate of algae.
Ozone layer destruction is associated with CFCs such as Freon and aerosols as these compounds neutralize and destroy ozone. These compounds form free radicals that convert ozone (O3) to oxygen (O2) thereby reducing its capability to protect the earth from UV radiation.
Deforestation is primarily caused by urbanization (cutting down trees to provide empty land in building structures) and industrial farming (converting forests into agricultural lands for farming).

Cells are organized into tissues, which are then organized into organs, and are finally organized into organ systems.
Systems are composed of different organs working together to carry out a common function or purpose. For example, the stomach, pancreas, intestines, are organs that are part of the digestive system, which breaks down the food we eat to give nourishment to our body.
Similarly, organs are made up of similar tissues carrying out a common function, and tissues are made up of cells of the same kind or type, also carrying out a common function or purpose.
A micrograph is "false-colored" because scientists often use computer techniques to add color in the colorless electrons to make certain structures stand out.
