Answer:

The colon.

Explanation:

The colon, also known as the large intestine is one of the major organs of the digestive system and plays a vital role in the processing of food and excretion of waste. It is divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.

The colon has a large surface area and plays a major role in the reabsorption of fluids and the processing and formation of waste which it pushes towards the rectum to be expelled.

Diarrhea is a condition which is characterized by frequency of bowel movements and passage of loose and watery stools. It has various causes most of which affects the normal functionality of the colon thereby limiting it's ability to reabsorb water and fluids. Such causes which affect the colon include; Bacterial infections, laxative abuse, diseases of the colon such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease etc.

Your roommate, who has not studied climate, says, "I thought the greenhouse effect was a bad thing. Isn't it what's causing glob
Masja [62]

Answer:

b) and c)

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.

Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.

Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.

Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.

<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect. </em>
