Answer:

The correct answer is option A, cutting down most of the trees in a forest to make furniture

Explanation:

All species inclusive of plants, trees and microorganisms that have chlorophyll are able to fix the inorganic carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis (also known as carbon fixation). On cutting down the trees, the amount of carbon being fixed would reduce and thus more of free carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) would be readily available in the atmosphere.

Although DNA is made up of only four different bases, it can encode the information necessary to specify the workings of an enti
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Because DNA molecules are extremely long.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of only four types of nucleotides that are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These four types of nucleotide encode all the information necessary for the formation and working of the entire organism because each DNA strand is as long as 2 meter which contains millions of base pairs.

The four nucleotides are arranged in the DNA strand with many different combinations which results in the formation of codons sequence that contains all the information about the cell. This long DNA is compressed several times to fit in the nucleus.

What are the negative consequences of improper disposal of electronic waste?​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

1) Increased probability of hazardous chemical contamination.

2) Air, water, and soil pollution.

3) Mortality in both terrestrial and aquatic organisms.

4) Development of diseases in humans.

Explanation:

The improper disposal of electronic waste can have detrimental consequences for the environment and, as a result, to all living beings including humans.

If electronic waste is thrown away in an open area, it warms up and releases hazardous chemicals that are detrimental for the health of living beings. This occurs because <u>electronic objects contain toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, amongst others</u>.

These chemicals will eventually enter both soil and water, harming thousands to millions of terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Moreover, these chemicals will enter the food chain and, as humans consume these affected organisms, we are also affected in numerous ways. For example, ingesting these chemicals could cause reproductive issues, damage to both the nervous and digestive systems, the development of cancer, etc.
