sample answer : When plants photosynthesize, they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When a large number of trees are removed from an area, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remain higher than they would be if the trees were present. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the presence of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more heat is trapped in the atmosphere. This causes temperatures near Earth’s surface to increase.

Deforestation means that there aren't as many trees to absorb the carbon dioxide.

Rudiy27

Answer:

Because a drug acts on one type of receptor does not mean that it will act on another type.

Explanation:

As humans, we have receptors for two kinds of beta adrenergic compounds such as catecholamines. Cardiac muscle cells have beta 1 receptors that promote increased heart rate. Some drugs that slow heart rate are called beta blockers. Smooth muscle cells, however, have beta 2 receptors which mediate muscle relaxation. Blockers of these effects are sometimes used to treat asthma. The use of beta 2 antagonist drugs may be useful in asthma because a drug acts on one type of receptor does not mean that it will act on another type.

Give the pattern of atoms for the functional groups for organic acids and amines.
yarga [219]
In organic molecules, the atoms are linked by covalent bonds. Organic molecules are generally large and may be complex, involving many such bonds.  Inorganic compounds have considerably simpler structure in terms of number, but not necessarily type, of bonds.  In organic molecules, to a first approximation, we may say that one bond does not affect another.  Thus an atom such as a chlorine atom, -Cl, or a group of atoms such as the alcohol group, -OH, on one end of a molecule will behave chemically in the same way almost without regard to the molecule to which it is covalently attached.   The idea of different independent or semi-independent atoms or groups of atoms on the same molecule is central to our modern understanding of organic chemistry.  It is called the concept of functional groups.  The nomenclature of organic compounds, like most of the rest of our understanding of reactions of organic compounds, is based upon the concept of functional groups.

A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th
Volgvan

Answer:

0.153

Explanation:

We know the up-thrust on the fish, U = weight of water displaced = weight of fish + weight of air in air sacs.

So ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ'V"g where ρ = density of water = 1 g/cm³, V = volume of water displaced, g = acceleration due to gravity, ρ'= density of fish = 1.18 g/cm³, V' = initial volume of fish, ρ"= density of air = 0.0012 g/cm³ and V" = volume of expanded air sac.

ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"g

ρV = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"

Its new body volume = volume of water displaced, V = V' + V"

ρ(V' + V") = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' + ρV" = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' - ρ"V'  = ρ'V" - ρV"

(ρ - ρ")V'  = (ρ' - ρ)V"

V'/V" = (ρ - ρ")/(ρ' - ρ)

= (1 g/cm³ - 0.0012 g/cm³)/(1.18 g/cm³ - 1 g/cm³)

= (0.9988 g/cm³ ÷ 0.18 g/cm³)

V'/V" = 5.55

Since V = V' + V"

V' = V - V"

(V - V")/V" = 5.55

V/V" - V"/V" = 5.55

V/V" - 1 = 5.55

V/V" = 5.55 + 1

V/V" = 6.55

V"/V = 1/6.55

V"/V = 0.153

So, the fish must inflate its air sacs to 0.153 of its expanded body volume

Which level does macroeconomics focus on?<br> A. personal<br> B. business<br> C. government
Anna71 [15]

The correct option is C.

Economics as a course is divided into two major sub specialties, which are micro and macro economics. Micro economics has to do with the study of individual, households and businesses behaviors in decision making and uses of scarce resources. Macro economics on the other hand has to do with the study of how the whole economy behaves. Thus, macro economics is the study of how a nation's economy work and this usually involves the national government.
