The melting of the ice caps makes Earth warmer because less solar energy is reflected due to loss of Albedo
Elza [17]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is; B

The ice caps are made of ice sheets that are mainly white in color. The white color is known to have a high albedo (a measure of how much light that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed) hence reflects some of the sun’s radiation back to space. When these ice sheets and caps are lost, this albedo decreases and the earth get a little warmer since more sun rays are absorbed by the earth.

A scientist conducts a test and finds out that the LD50 of a certain chemical is 20 mg per kilogram. Explain what this means.
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>LD means lethal dose. LD50 is the amount of a material, administered at once to cause the death of half (50%) of a group of test organisms.  A test which shows that LD50 of a certain chemical is 20 mg per kg means that 20 milligrams of that chemical for every 1 kilogram body weight of the test animal when administered in one dose, causes the death of 50% of the test group.</span>

Scientists often want to know if the genetically transformed organism can pass its new traits on to its offspring and future gen
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Quickly

Explanation:

The more quickly that a new generation of organisms develops and reproduces the faster that you will be able to observe whether the new traits  have been passed on to the new generation or not, and so on if you want to see this effect over several generations. For example, if you have genetically modified corn, you just have to wait one year to see if next year's generation of corn will have the modified trait or not. Conversely, if you geneticall modify an apple, you have to wait several years until the new generation of apples mature and are able to flower and produce the next generation of apple embryos.
