Answer:
D. Clear-cutting would increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere
Explanation:
Plants including trees are organisms that help maintain the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. They do this via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the way they obtain their energy and carbon source. During photosynthesis, trees (plants) absorb carbon in form of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through the STOMATA on their leaves.
CO2 is an input substance in order for photosynthesis to occur. In a case where all the trees (plants) of a forest has been clear cut or removed, there will be no organisms to directly absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere via respiration. Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere would increase.
Answer:
A. Carbohydrates are used to store energy and provide structure/support in living things.
Explanation:
The four primary functions of carbohydrates in the body are to provide energy, store energy, build macromolecules, and spare protein and fat for other uses.
Brain controls nerves
Heart pumps the blood
One explanation could be the differences in climate (environmental factors). The climate in northern Mexico could support the reproduction of the mosquito species, which is a vector of the dengue virus. Other environmental conditions that influence its endemicity could include living conditions and sanitation. The other possiblity could be that the people in the US have developed immunity for the disease, therefore, are unaffected even when infected by the virus.
