A 154-lb adult man performs a moderate level of physical activity and regularly consumes 2700 Calories a day. State whether the
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - remain the same.

Explanation:

In the given table showing the average daily calories requirement according to the weight of the adult men. Which is as follows:

weight                daily intake

132                        2250

154                        2450

176                        2650

198                        2850

220                       3050

242                       3250

In this, the highlight weight and required calories should be taken by the man who does not perform any physical exercise but according to the question a man with 154 lb perform a moderate exercise, and according to the CDC a 154 lb men can burn anywhere between 140 and 295 calories in 30 minutes by moderate exercise for an hour.

Thus, the total calories he takes: 2700

burn by exercise: 295

should take: 2450

then = 2700 - (2450+295)

= 50 calories over the limit that will have negligible effect on the weight.

a warming global climate can create hot and dry regions. it can also contribute to natural CO2 emissions. For example, lighting
motikmotik

<em>b. wildfires</em>

<em>b. magnified the greenhouse effect</em>


The first blank is pretty simple; if lightning (electricity) strikes something flammable, like a forest, a fire is sure to ensue. This fire will obviously spread to the other trees and cause a massive wildfire.

The second blank is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is said to have caused our warming climate, which makes sense because heat from the sun gets trapped in our global "greenhouse", or the lower atmosphere. Lower atmosphere is key here because a large event like a massive wildfire can add some more heat to the atmosphere and contribute to this effect. A wildfire may seem like a minor event on a global scale, but it will do more damage to the atmosphere than you think!

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.

Water is essential for life. Its special properties make water the single most important molecule in plant life. Which of the fo
Maslowich

Answer:

Because water exhibits cohesive behavior.

Explanation:

Cohesive behavior can be explained as a behavior where molecules are attracted to each other.

And this means that,  water molecules are attracted to each  other because of their cohesive behavior. This makes them to be  attracted to other substances, such as the walls of the xylem of plants.

In this case, it is believed that the water molecules behave this  way because they are polar, that is, there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. And this enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of the plants.
