Asteroid impact

Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.

A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.

  • The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
  • The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
  • The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
  • It can cause heating of the earth surface.
  • Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plants are the organisms present on the Earth which can be easily marked with their green color. The green color is due to the presence of the chloroplast which encompasses the chlorophyll pigment.

The chlorophyll pigment has the ability to capture the sunlight energy which initiates the process of photosynthesis. The photosynthesis process utilizes Carbon dioxide gas and water to form glucose molecules.

The glucose molecule is then transported to the other parts of the plants like stem and roots where photosynthesis is absent and to obtain the energy, plant perform cellular respiration. The cellular respiration requires oxygen gas which acts as an electron acceptor molecule.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
