Standard of living refers to the quality, and quantity, of goods and services made available to an individual for his/her consumption. This definition is a general one and is easily understood.
To improve one's standard of living, in accordance with this definition, one needs to be provided with a better quality goods & services , such as advanced electronics and gadgets, or quantity, such as producing more self-care product for consumption.
So how does this conflict with his/her environmental concerns? In order to improve standard of living, there is a few trade offs. To produce more quantity of goods & services, more resources have to be used. This might lead to excessive usage, wastage & depletion of natural resources. For example, to provide more fuel to the society, companies have to extract more & more of fossil fuel. Sustainable usage of natural resources might be a concern, since some types of resources are unrenewable e. g oil & gas.
Production of higher quality products requires advanced state of technology. In the meantime, the use of some technologies aren't exactly environmental friendly i. e it may create pollution. For example, decades ago, manufacturing shirts using traditional methods might not yield consistent results thus the invention of machine helps with increasing the quality, however, results in noise and air pollution. Another example, using air-conditioning instead of hand fan is more effective in coping with hot weather, but greenhouse gas is emitted.
This shows the conflict between environmental concern and the desire to improve standard of living in general.
Hope this helps!
The following diagram shows how the moon causes tides on Earth: In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon.
I want 10 point lol the answer is 40
Answer:
The options are missing, the options are:
A) prevents the duplication of centrosomes. B) prevents nuclear envelope fragmentation C) prevents shortening of microtubules. D) prevents attachment of the microtubules to the kinetochore. E) prevents nucleosome formation
The answer is C
Explanation:
Cell division is a characteristics of all living cells. Whether meiosis or mitosis, the chromosomes separate in the Anaphase stage. Prior to the anaphase stage is the metaphase, where spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of each chromosome and aligns them at the centre of the cell called METAPHASE PLATE.
Thus, since the aligning of chromosomes at the metaphase plate has to do with attachment of microtubules to chromosomes' kinetochores, the drug that will hinder movement of chromosomes to opposite poles will not stop formation of microtubules. Instead, it will prevent the formed microtubules attached to each chromosome from shortening, as it is the shortening of microtubules that facilitates the pulling apart of the chromosomes they are attached to.
