Karo-lina-s [1.5K]4 years ago
6 0

Carbon monoxide (CO) as one of the one major air pollutants  doesn’t have a direct effect on the global temperature (like methane and carbon dioxide ) but it takes part in the formation of lower-atmospheric ozone and urban smog. CO also affects the ability of the atmosphere to cleanse itself of many polluting gases.  

So, it is important to measure concentrations of CO via sensors on NASA’s satellite.

How does a catalyst work? using these options...
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D) By decreasing the activation energy of a reaction

A catalyst is a substance that speed up the rate of chemical reaction without affecting the product of the reaction. They only affect the rate of reaction not the yield of reaction.

Catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway that has lower activation energy  than that of uncatalysed reaction. It increases the frequency of collision and because of these greater collision which lowers the activation energy of the reaction.

The following describe the inheritance pattern of autosomal genetic disorders.

  • For an autosomal dominant disorder to be expressed just one copy of the abnormal allele must be inherited.
  • For an autosomal recessive disorder to be expressed, two copies of the abnormal allele must be inherited.

<h3>What is autosomal genetic disorder?</h3>

Autosomal disorders is a form.of genetic disorders which is as a result of mutations in genes on the autosomes or chromosomes. Each person have two copies of autosomal gene, one of the alleles are inherited from each parent. Autosomal dominant disorders occur when there is a mutation in one copy of the gene.
