Soloha48 [4]3 years ago

Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect climate by altering incoming solar radiation and out-going infrared (thermal) radiation that are part of Earth’s energy balance. Changing the atmospheric abundance or properties of these gases and particles can lead to a warming or cooling of the climate system.

Since the start of the industrial era (about 1750), the overall effect of human activities on climate has been a warming influence. The human impact on climate during this era greatly exceeds that due to known changes in natural processes, such as solar changes and volcanic eruptions.

Hope this helps.

Why might the knoblike proteins on the outer surface of hiv hold a key to the production of a vaccine against aids?
Nataly_w [17]

This is because the GP120 protein of the HIV virus that forms the ‘knob’ is essential for the infection of CD4 cells of the immune system by the virus. The glycoprotein is, therefore, a good target for vaccines especially since the molecule is highly conserved because most mutations in the region could be highly deleterious to the virus.

There are almost 10,000 known bird species on the planet. How did they evolve into so many unique forms?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Natural selection.

Explanation:

Imagine in the beginning there was a single species of bird. Naturally, this bird had to expand to the rest of the world, and was distanced as the continents drifted off. But this bird had to cope with various climates and environments. So the bird would gradually mutate over time. The bird in the jungles of central america would develop different colors and a shaped beak, and would better help it survive. This led to being the new normal for birds of this area. It would evolve to cover all the surviving birds in the region, until it is so drastically changed then it is a new species. There are so many different environments, each with its own challenges to overcome, so so many different bird evolve to survive them.
