Name three reasons fossil fuels are detrimental to earth

Biology
2 answers:
Nady [450]3 years ago

1. In order to procure fossil fuels, or even to burn them, we create a great deal of pollution.  All of the pollution that is being created is extremely bad for the Earth because it contributed to global warming.  

2. When we create new mining cites, we remove trees and soil that was once the home to plant, animal, and insect life.  

3. Oil is a very useful fossil fuel, it is used to power many things.  But due to the very dangerous nature of fossil fuels, an explosion in Mexico in 2010 caused 210,000,000 U.S. gallons of oil to spill into a gulf.  This spill lead to the drowning and poisoning of immeasurable amounts of aquatic animal life.

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

Which of the following was the most likely effect of the Industrial Revolution on peppered moths in cities?
jeka57 [31]
The answer is d. The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.

<span>Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection. During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.</span>
