Answer:

<em> A. 38%</em>

Explanation:

Percentage increase in carbon dioxide concentration = (Increase in concentration of carbon dioxide/initial concentration)×100

P = (C₂-C₁/C₁)×100...................... Equation 1

Where P = percentage increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide from 1970 to 2007, C₁ = The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 1970, C₂ = The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 2007.

<em>Given: C₁ = 278 ppm, C₂ = 383 ppm.</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

<em>P = [(383-278)/278]×100</em>

<em> P = (105/278)×100</em>

<em>P = 37.7%</em>

<em>P ≈ 38%</em>

<em>Thus the approximate percentage increase in carbon dioxide concentration from 1790 to 2007 is 38%</em>

<em>The right option is A. 38%</em>

B. Mutations cause a person's body cells to divide uncontrollably. There isn't a signal for cells to stop dividing, so this can cause cancer because cancer cells won't stop dividing without this signal.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Starch are macromolecules that are made of monomers that are simple sugars. Cells are microscopic and they can only absorb small substances. Therefore starch needs to be digested in other words broken down into simpler substances that can be taken in by cells. Therefore before starch can enter a cell it must be 3) digested to form simple sugars
