<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

An increase in the total biomass of consumers in the world

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Carbon fixation is the process through which carbon dioxide is removed from the air and incorporated into an organic molecule.
  • Carbon fixation occurs during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the C3 or Calvin Cycle.
  • The Calvin cycle uses the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds that can be used by the organism.

Answer:

a decrease in the total biomass of consumers in the world

Explanation:

A decrease in carbon fixation would likely increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and decrease the amount of oxygen. This would change how much respiration and photosynthesis could take place, resulting in:

a decrease in the total biomass of consumers in the world,

an increase in the total biomass of producers in the world, and

a decrease in the size of insects and arthropods, since their ability to move oxygen from the air into and through their bodies is limited.

What causes the colored bands in the spectra we see?
storchak [24]

Answer:

Each of the different colors has its own wavelength, which reflects and refracts at its own angle, different from all the other colors. When light passes through a prism (a triangular piece of glass), it is reflected and refracted into a continuous band of colors called a spectrum.

Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. in
olasank [31]

The complete question is :

As an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of a drug suspected of causing malformations in newborn infants when the drug in question is taken by pregnant women during the course of their pregnancies. As your sample you will use the next 200 single births occurring in a given hospital. For each birth a medication history will be taken from the new mother and from her doctor; in addition, you will review medical records to verify use of the drug. [N.B.: These mothers are considered to have been followed prospectively during the entire course of their pregnancies, because a complete and accurate record of drug use was maintained during pregnancy.] The resultant data are: Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. Of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. In addition, 10 other infants are born with malfunctions. What is the relative risk between exposure to the drug and malformations?

Answer:

14

Explanation:

  • The relative risk is a measure that is used to calculate or compare the likelihood or the chance that an event would occur while comparing the two groups.
  • To calculate the relative risk, the probability of an event occurring in one group is compared with the probability of the event occurring in another group and this is done by dividing the probability of one group by another.
  • The value of relative risk is always either zero or greater than zero but it cannot be negative.
  • The value 1 indicates neutrality.
  • The probability of an event = no. of favorable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
  • For the given question, 35 mothers out of 40 delivered infants that were malformed, so the probability of delivering malformed infants is 35/40.
  • Out of the 200 births, 40 have occurred so total births left is 200 - 40 = 160
  • Therefore, the probability of the second event is 10/160.
  • Therefore relative risk is = (35/40)/(10/160) = (0.875/0.062) = 14
