Biology

weeeeeb [17]3 years ago

I cannot find the propositions, so I just define what an alpha particle is:
Alpha particles (or alpha rays) are a form of radiation emitted by unstable nuclei of great atomic mass (alpha decay). They consist of two protons and two neutrons combined into a particle identical to the helium nucleus, so they can be written 4He2+ (or 4α2+). (the nuclei will lose 2 positive charges and 4 atomic masses)
Unlike other particles, a Beta particle is the emission of an electron (or a position), and gamma rays (not a particle) is the emission of a  ray photon very high energy light. 
I hope this could help you with you answering the question.

balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) an increase in oxygen levels, which led to the extinction of many anaerobic organisms.</em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as a process in which food (glucose) is produced by photosynthetic organisms by using carbon dioxide, water along with light energy from the sun. Oxygen is released as a by-product of this reaction. The process of photosynthesis initially allowed for oxygen gas to get accumulated in the air. This caused the rise of aerobic organisms who required oxygen for respiration. Before the photosynthesis organisms evolved, there was not enough oxygen gas on earth to support the life of aerobic organisms.
