Answer:
Most polymers, including poly(ethene) and poly(propene) are not biodegradable . This means that microorganisms cannot break them down, so they: cause a litter problem if disposed of carelessly. last for many years in landfill sites.
Answer:
natural selection
Explanation:
Darwin proposed <u>natural selection</u> as the process that causes evolution.
According to the theory of natural selection, the environment naturally selects for genes that confer fitness to organisms over every other gene. In other words, organisms that are able to adapt to an environment survive and contribute more to the subsequent generation while those that are poorly adapted contribute less and gradually fade away from the population.
<em>For example, when a drug is taken a particular pathogen, the susceptible ones among the pathogen's population will die off while the ones with the resistance gene survive, reproduce, and pass on the resistance gene to the subsequent generation. Consequently, the same drug might not work at all for the new generations of the pathogen because the gene that confers fitness has been selected for.</em>
Carbon dioxide is released during respiration but used up during photosynthesis. The reason that plants release oxygen is because the amount of carbon dioxide released by the plants is, for the most part, used in photosynthesis; however, all of the oxygen produced is not used in respiration. Thus, the net outflow of gas from a plant is that of oxygen.
Answer : cathode, protocathode
During an electrochemical reaction, electrons move through the external wire toward the cathode and positive ions in the salt bridge move toward the protocathode.
a substrate is the surface on which an organism (such as a plant, fungus, or animal) lives. A substrate can include biotic or abiotic materials and animals. For example, encrusting algae that lives on a rock (its substrate) can be itself a substrate for an animal that lives on top of the algae.
Hope this helped :)
