The correct answer is D. increases levels of greenhouse gases

Explanation

Greenhouse gases are a group of gases present in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, water vapor, chlorofluorocarbons, among others, and what they cause in the atmosphere is a greenhouse effect, that is, they trap two thirds of the sun's rays and retain them within the Earth's atmosphere. These gases are thereby natural processes of the earth; however, with the increase in emission of gases by combustion of fossil fuels some greenhouse gases have increased their percentage in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. This causes the temperature increase in the earth's atmosphere by the retention of solar rays in greater quantities. So, the correct answer is D. Increases levels of greenhouse gases.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.

B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.

C. Prions are proteins.

Explanation:

Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.

Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
