What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?

Biology
1 answer:
Ugo [173]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.

Which process is the first step of making a protein from DNA instructions?
-BARSIC- [3]

The first step of protein synthesis is called transcription. The DNA transcription to mRNA is actually the first step of the protein synthesis. During the transcription step the instructions encoded in the DNA of the genes are transcribed into the nucleotide sequence code of a ribonucleic acid (RNA)....

What are the similarities between an onion and whitefish cells?
Zepler [3.9K]
<span>The similarities between an onion and whitefish cells exist in the cell division process. Normally the basic process of mitosis cell division is similar for plant cells and animal cells, but there are fundamental differences that mark the mitosis of plant and animal cells. Basic similarities of onion cell and that of whitefish embryo cell is that in the four phase of mitosis namely, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase occurs in similar way. In Prophase for both cells the chromatin condensed and in metaphase the chromatin aligns in the center of cell and kinetochores of chromosomes attached with the microtubules of spindle from opposite poles. In Anaphase stage, the chromatids from the metaphase plate are separated and shifted to opposite poles.. Finally at Telophase, the cell divides via cytokinesis. The fundamental difference between Onion cells and Whitefish cells can be found in the process of cytokinesis.

What are the similarities and differences between plant, animal, and fungal cells?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

They are eukaryotic cells, they present the three main parts: cell or cytoplasmic membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus defined with chromosomes and nucleolus. The three types of cells have in common the following structures: cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus defined with chromosomes and nucleolus, mitochondria, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton and peroxisomes. But it differs in some. The plant cell has chloroplasts and a cell wall and the animal cell does not.

Explanation:

The animal cell has centrioles, lysosomes. It has no plastids, no cell wall, it has vesicles. They do not have the ability to produce their own food from inorganic components. The plant cell has plastids (chloroplasts), cell walls, large vacuoles. Fungal cells are organisms without chlorophyll, therefore they cannot photosynthesize. The reserve substances of the cytoplasm are not starch granules. As they are not able to synthesize their food, they have to obtain from other living organisms (they feed on other plant and animal residues contributing to decomposition) that is, they are heterotrophic. Fungal cells have a cell wall that is not present in animal cells and but plant cells have a cell wall. They have lysosomes and centrioles that the plant cell lacks but they are in animal cells. Animal cells, with a few exceptions, do not have vacuoles while plant cells do. The three types of cells have present nucleus, membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi system.
