Easter Island is a small 63-square-mile patch of land — more than a thousand miles from the next inhabited spot in the Pacific Ocean. In A.D. 1200 (or thereabouts), a small group of Polynesians — it might have been a single family — made their way there, settled in and began to farm. When they arrived, the place was covered with trees — as many as 16 million of them, some towering 100 feet high.

These settlers were farmers, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, so they burned down woods, opened spaces, and began to multiply. Pretty soon the island had too many people, too few trees, and then, in only a few generations, no trees at all.

Use complete sentences to explain how the mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration as it follows the Law of Conservation of Matter. This shows that hydrogen has been conserved throughout the entire process (H representing Hydrogen) as the product has the same amount of hydrogen as the reactants.

The AMOUNT of carbon-dioxide atoms released by respiration are EXACTLY EQUAL to the atoms of these materials contained in the oxygen and carbon converted. In this way respiration has conserved the mass or material and in this way followed the law of conservation of mass.

The cholodny-went hypothesis has been proposed to explain how plants bend toward a directional light source. What does this hypo

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The cholodny-went model was proposed in 1927. This model explains the capability of the shoots to grow in the direction of the sunlight whereas the capability of the roots to grow downwards. The hypothesis suggested that both these directional growth occurred due to the asymmetrical distribution of the plant hormone, auxin. This model has been modified a number of times by other scientists but its general concept is accepted by most of the researchers.

Given two areas with equal sunlight and available water. Areal has a high amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide while Area II has

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

C. The rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, which is the process by which certain organisms obtain their food from the light provided by the sun, can be inhibited or promoted by certain factors. One of the reactants of the photosynthetic process is carbon dioxide (CO2), hence, an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide, increases the rate of photosynthesis.

According to this question, two areas with equal sunlight and available water are being described to have different levels or amounts of CO2. Area I has a high amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide while Area II has a low amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This means that Area 1 will undergo more photosynthetic activity than Area II.
