Answer:

Environment refers to everything that surrounds an individual and interacts between them. The factors that control the environment can be biotic and abiotic.

Humans have greatly affected the environment. Some of the ways in which the environment is affected by humans are as follows-

(1) Humans have constructed industries and factories that have released a huge amount of toxic gases into the atmosphere.

(2) These harmful gases have increased the earth's global temperature. As a result of which the global warming effect has increased.

(3) The waste materials eliminated from these industries mix with the rivers and streams and pollute the water. It degrades water quality.

(4) The fossil fuels are exhausted at a very high rate.

(5) The spilling of the oils in the oceans has affected the marine species drastically.

(6) Due to the extensive mining at different places, soil fertility has decreased considerably.

(7) Cutting down trees for settlement purposes and other infrastructures.

A mover packs books, CDs, and DVDs into a moving box. If the box contains 6.5 kg of books, 1.5 kg of CDs, and 2.0 kg of DVDs, wh
mariarad [96]
Given: 
<span>M1 = 6.5 kg of books
</span><span>M2 = 1.5 kg of CDs
</span><span>M3 = 2.0 kg of DVDs

Required: percent by mass of each object

Solution:
First, we calculate the total mass.

M = 6.5 kg + 1.5 kg + 2.0 kg =  10 kg

Percent by mass is calculated by getting the ration of the mass of an object and the total mass multiplied by 100 to get the percent.

%M1 = 6.5 / 10 x 100 = 65%
%M2 = 1.5/10 x 100 = 15%
%M3 = 2.0/10 x 100 = 20%</span>

When co2 levels are low and o2 levels are high, rubisco adds an o2 molecule to rubp. what are the consequences of this reaction?
marissa [1.9K]
Rubisco is an important enzyme that helps in making lifeless carbon of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a short sugar chain with five carbon atoms that has rubp as its shortcut. Rubisco then clips the lengthened chain into to polyglycerate pices, which are pretty flexible molecules and are also used in the feeding of the plant. Most of it is used in the photosynthesis pathway, but some of it is used to make sucrose (table sugar) to feed the rest of the plant, or stored away in the form of starch for later use. Hence, rubisco is crucial in the storing of the energy that is created from photosynthesis.

Which of the following is true in regard to ions? A. A cation will hold a positive charge if it gains one or more electrons. B.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.

Explanation:

For a neutral atom , the number of proton and electron is equal. An ionized atom has either loss or gain electron, thereby making the number of proton and electron unequal. The answer B is true because an ionized atom has either loss or gain electron to make the number of electron and proton unequal.

Option A is incorrect because a cations holds a positive charge when it loss one or more electron not when it gains one or more electron(s). Anions possess negative charge for gaining electron(s).

Option C is not true because ions can also carry negative charges and they are called anions.

Option D is false because losing one or more electron will turn an atom to a cations.
