Biology

hammer [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:A: Composition

Explanation: While asteroids consist of metals and rocky material, comets are made up of ice, dust, rocky materials and organic compounds. When comets get closer to the Sun, they lose material with each orbit because some of their ice melts and vaporizes. Asteroids typically remain solid, even when near the Sun.

(i) Label port A
just olya [345]

Answer:

1) pollen grain (A), stigma (B), pollen tube (C), Ovary (D)

The pollen grain is a male reproductive part while ovary is the female reproductive part.

2) When a pollen grain lands on the stigma of a flower, a pollen tube begins to grow. It grows through the style until it reaches an ovule inside the ovary.

3) The pollen tube is a tube that transports the male gamete cells from the pollen grains to the ovule (female gamete) inside the ovary.

The nucleus of the pollen passes along the pollen tube and fuses with the nucleus of the ovule. This process is called fertilisation.

4) After the fertilisation, female parts of the flower develop into fruit and ovules become seeds.

WORD BANK : Match Word with the associated pollution
Troyanec [42]

Ozone is formed by the reaction of of nitrous oxides and reactive organic substance catalyzed by sunlight. This is a photochemical reaction provided with ozone forming compounds and sunlight.


Acid rain is defined as nitrous(NO2) and sulfurous (SO2) compounds enter the atmosphere as smog thereby precipitating as acid rain. This is detrimental in the environment as well as in agriculture. 


Global warming is precipitated by the burning of fossil fuels that increases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat, in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is the main principle behind global warming.


Ocean acidification is when excessive carbon dioxide is dissolved in the oceans as carbonic acid thereby increasing the pH of the ocean. Increases in the pH of the ocean can affect the living conditions as well as industrial conditions near it.


Groundwater pollution is defined as contaminating the groundwater with the runoff from industrial agriculture including organic and inorganic wastes as well as infectious and nuclear wastes. 


Algae blooms or algal blooms are precipitated by eutrophication or the increase in nutrients in water such as nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus from fertilizers. Eutrophication of water precipitates the abnormally high growth rate of algae.


Ozone layer destruction is associated with CFCs such as Freon and aerosols as these compounds neutralize and destroy ozone. These compounds form free radicals that convert ozone (O3) to oxygen (O2) thereby reducing its capability to protect the earth from UV radiation.


Deforestation is primarily caused by urbanization (cutting down trees to provide empty land in building structures) and industrial farming (converting forests into agricultural lands for farming).
