Answer: d. all of the above

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are beneficial sources of energy used by the human society. Fossil fuels are non- renewable resources, which are produced after millions of years of geological and biological activity taking place inside the earth crust. Human society is mainly dependent upon the fossil fuels to maintain it's energy needs.

There are some negative consequences associated with fossil fuels:

Environmental consequences: Fossil fuels are used for generation of energy in the power plants and by the automobiles. These sources releases partially and completely combusted products which includes the poisonous gases causing air and water pollution.

Economic consequences: Fossil fuel use is related with economic crisis because fossil fuels are non- renewable resources, which cannot be replenished once used. They are expensive and many commercial energy generation processes are dependent on them such as electricity, transportation and others.

Development hindrances: Large dependence on fossil fuels creating an hindrance on development process. As, there are very few findings which are resulted which could replace the fossil fuels, these finding can be beneficial for the environmental and economic point of view.

Which of the following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based?

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

<u>Option-(B):</u> The following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based is the characteristics of a poorly adapted individuals which can never produce offspring.

Explanation:

The idea of natural selection basically follows the analyses of the heritable characters which passes from one generation into another, having the specific set of data or genome been transferred into there descendants. And how each specie goes through the process of survival in order to have more chances to acquire the required natural resources and shelter for them selves inside a region or area.

A good vector to genetically alter respiratory cells might be _______.

AnnyKZ [126]

A good vector to genetically altered respiratory cells might be A VIRUS THAT HAS BEEN GENETICALLY ALTERED TO CARRY NORMAL HUMAN DNA.
Gene therapy is a medical method of treatment which uses genes to prevent or treat diseases. The method is used to correct the defects in genes which is causing a disease. In order to insert a normal gene to replace the defective one, a vector, which will carry the gene is needed. The vector that is usually used in this case is a virus, which has been doctored to carry a normal human DNA.

Review the data table. What conclusion can be drawn from the data shown?

joja [24]

Answer:

B) Styrofoam is a good insulator.

Explanation:

When talking about thermal energy, or a heat, insulator is a material that doesn't allow heat to pass through easily. On the other hand, a conductor is completely the opposite, it allows, quite successfully, transfer of the heat.

So, regarding ice cream, from these definitions above, we can conclude that insulators will prolong melting time, while, in the conductors, ice cream will melt rather fast.

Looking at the table, we see that Styrofoam had the longest melting time, which makes it quite successful insulator.

Glucagon is a hormone that is released when the level of glucose in the blood is low. Glucagon uses a G protein signaling pathwa

allsm [11]

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.
