The correct answer is option A, an asteroid hitting the earth

Reason -

The extinction event of Cretaceous is considered as a mass extinction process in which near about 3/4th of the species on planet earth became extinct. The researches conducted (found in geologic record) to study the cause of this massive extinction event,  revealed presence of  iridium metal on the Earth crust which is a rare metal and is usually found in the asteroids or comets. Thus,  hitting of planet earth by the asteroids or comets can be considered as a cause of this massive extinction.

Most plant leaves contain yellow and orange carotenoids as well as green chlorophylls. Why then are most leaves greenish
sattari [20]

Answer:

Because the leaves contain a greater concentration of green chlorophylls than yellow and orange carotenoids.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll and carotenoids are both pigments found in the cells of organisms like plants. They have differing color range depending on which wavelength of light they absorb and which they reflect. For example, chlorophyll pigment are green because they reflect green light and absorb others.

According to this question, the leaves of most plants contain yellow and orange carotenoids in addition to green chlorophylls but leaves are mostly green. This is because there is an abundant of chlorophyll pigment than any other pigment in the leaves of most plants. Hence, GREEN COLOR conferred by chlorophyll dominates and masks the color appearance of the other accessory pigments like yellow and orange carotenoids.

Arguments FOR GMOs? Arguments AGAINST GMOs?<br>​
stich3 [128]

❤️Hello!❤️ In my opinion, i'm against GMO's. First of all you need to understand what GMO stands for, GMO means (Genetically Modified Organisms) and does that REALLY sound appealing to eat (Be honest). So now we have that covered i'm going to tell you some reasons why YOU should avoid Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's). First of all GMO's are unhealthy, according to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Second of all, GMO's contaminate forever. GMO's cross pollinate and their seeds can travel. It is impossible to fully clean up our contaminated gene pool. Self propagating GMO pollution will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. The impact is huge, threatening the health of future generations. Third of all, GMO's increase herbicide use, most GMO crops are engineered to be “Herbicide tolerant”―they deadly weed killer. Monsanto, for example, sells Roundup Ready crops, designed to survive applications of their Roundup herbicide.  Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million pounds of herbicide on GMO's. Overuse of Roundup results in “superweeds,” resistant to the herbicide. This is causing farmers to use even more toxic herbicides every year. ♒️ Hope this helps!♒️  ↪️ Autumn ↩️
