In climate change, a feedback loop is the equivalent of a vicious or virtuous circle – something that accelerates or decelerates a warming trend. A positive feedback accelerates a temperature rise, whereas a negative feedback decelerates it.

Scientists are aware of a number of positive feedbacks loops in the climate system. One example is melting ice. Because ice is light-coloured and reflective, a large proportion of the sunlight that hits it is bounced back to space, which limits the amount of warming it causes. But as the world gets hotter, ice melts, revealing the darker-coloured land or water below. The result is that more of the sun's energy is absorbed, leading to more warming, which in turn leads to more ice melting – and so on.

Various other feedbacks – related to emissions from soils and permafrost, for example, and changes to ocean evaporation – are known or thought to exist.

Feedback loops such as these are complex in themselves and even more complex when considered as part of an integrated global climate system. Some are already at work, while others have yet to kick in. Others still – both positive and negative – may yet be discovered. These uncertainties, coupled with historical evidence for the climate changing rapidly in the past, led one prominent climate scientist to compare releasing greenhouse gases into the air with "poking a beast with a sharp stick".

Answer: Plant Cell

Explanation: Since I cant see in your question about what structure is about I have found that it might be the plant structure and I hope that this would help. I will also post you a picture of it.

A is Vacuole  

B is Chloroplast  

C is Cell membrane

D is Golgi bodies

E is Smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum  

F is Cell wall

This structure is a plant cell structure and it has a cell wall and plasma membrane.

Also, it has vacuoles in the center that are taking much space since they are huge.

Since it is a plant cell it has a chlorophyll and with it organelles and both of them are called chloroplasts.

Chlorophyll is giving the plant cell a green color. This kind of cell is a basic and the most important for the Plantae kingdom organisms.

Which of the following is needed in the process of DNA replication?
Lisa [10]
All of the above are needed. Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of new DNA, ATP energy is needed because replication is an active process, and enzymes catalyze the reactions needed to carry it out (e.g. helicase to separate the strands to be replicated, DNA polymerase to build the new strands, and ligase to "glue" the fragments together).
