There are about 11,200,000 billion metric tons of O2 in the atmosphere. Based on an estimated photosynthesis rate of 600 billion

metric tons per year, how many years might it have taken to reach current O2 levels? (Note: Assume for this exercise that the rate of O2 production is constant even though it has changed over time.)

Answer:

t=18666.7years

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the rate at which oxygen is produced via photosynthesis is:

600 \frac{billion\ metric\ tons}{year}

Since the desired amount is 11,200,000 billion metric tons, the required time is:

t=\frac{11,200,000billion\ metric\ tons}{600 \frac{billion\ metric\ tons}{year}} \\\\t=18666.7years

Best regards.

cricket20 [7]
The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

Identify what types of of questions that can be answered by science
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.

Explanation:

Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.

In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:

Biology

<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>

<em />

Neuroscience (humans)

<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>

<em />

Behavioral Ecology

<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>

Neuroscience (Animals)

<em>Are killer whales capable of  problem-solving?</em>

<em />

Ecology

<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>

<em />

Conservation Biology

<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>

<em />

Animal Behavior

<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>

<em />

Parasitology

<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
