Landfills refer to the locations destined for dumping garbage, rubbish, or other kinds of solid wastes. They are the most general means of disposing of solid waste that is either left to pile in heaps or are buried. One of the most drastic effects of landfills is air pollution and its negative influences on the atmosphere.  

There are more than ten toxic gases discharged from the landfills, of which methane is the most harmful gas. The methane gas is generated during the procedure of organic matter decay, it has the tendency to trap solar radiation twenty times more efficiently in comparison to carbon dioxide.  

The consequence is enhanced global and urban temperatures. Apart from methane gas, other agricultural and household chemicals, like ammonia and bleach can produce toxic gases, which can majorly influence the quality of air within the locality of the landfill.  

Particulate matter, dust, and other non-chemical contaminate can also be expelled into the atmosphere, thus, further donating to air quality complications.

densk [106]

Question: When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a:

A: positive ion.

B: negative ion.

C: positive isotope.

D: negative isotope.

Answer:

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes "positive ion".

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons. Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

The ecological concept that best categorizes weather (i.e., temperature) as a limiting factor in yellow jacket wasp survival is referred to as density-independent factors.

Density-independent factor, is also referred to as limiting factor, and it simply means the things that have an impact on the population of the living things in a particular area without taking into consideration of the density of the population for the area e.g food limitation, weather conditions, pollutants, fire etc.

eduard

Answer:

Anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells

Explanation:

Anthocyanin is not produced in plant cells with the genotype mm.

As you can see from the question above, anthocyanin is responsible for the purple color of the flowers. Anthocyanin is encoded by the M gene, which is a dominant gene. Because it is a dominant gene, we know that it will be expressed in plants with the Mm and MM genotype, but will not be encoded by plants with the mm genotype. With this we can conclude that plants that have the mm genotype do not have purple color, because anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells of these plants, since they do not have the M gene.
