Which molecule does atmospheric oxygen initially come from?

Biology

Olin [163]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The atmospheric oxygen initially came from the water molecule

Explanation:

Condition on the primitive Earth , about 4 billion year ago were such which favored chemical evolution. . When the temperature of the Earth was less than 100 degree Celsius. Its atmosphere had nitrogen in the form of ammonia, carbon in the form of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the form of water vapour. There was no free oxygen available and so the atmosphere was reducing.

Then spontaneously biomolecules originated which further gave rise to protobionts. These protobionts evolved into several unicellular organisms among which one was cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacteria are considered as the organisms which added the first molecule of free atmospheric oxygen into the atmosphere. They carried out photosynthesis and split the water molecules to release oxygen as the bye product of the process.

In an energy pyramid, which level has the most available energy?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is -A. producer level.

Explanation:

the first trophic level is the level of photosynthetic organisms they produce their food and energy on their own from the ultimate source of energy, the Sun. This is why they are called producers.

Producers have the most energy in any ecological ecosystem as all other organisms get food from these directly or indirectly. Only 10 percent of total energy is transferred from one trophic level from producers to the next tropic level through consumers of different trophic levels.

¿Cuál es la importancia de la fusión nuclear? What is the importance of nuclear fusion?
Rama09 [41]

Without it, there are no stars, including our own sun, and there wouldn’t be us talking about it.

It is used in particularly destructive bombs.

At a tiny scale, it can be used to produce neutrons, eg, a Farnsworth Fusor.

At a large scale, we have yet to figure out how to make controlled fusion work in a way that runs for a long time and generates collectible power we can use to feed the process. This has remained elusively 20 years out from the current state of affairs for 50 years.

If it was made to work, then it would probably be a good source of clean energy that would be safer than many of the non-renewable alternatives.

I don’t expect to live to see it happen.

Which of these conditions is not among the requirements of the hardy-weinberg equilibrium?
Inessa05 [86]

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires no immigration or emigration, a large population, random mating, and no spontaneous mutations (all of which are virtually unavoidable in nature). Natural selection would violate these conditions.
