<span>1.       </span><span>Two ways that man can reduce the global warming is by reducing carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) emissions. One way is by planting more trees. Forests are reservoirs for carbon since their remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis. Second is by reducing the use of fossil fuels to produce energy. Fossil fuels are the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in their combustion</span>

<span>2.       </span>Greenhouse<span> gases permit infrared rays from the sun to pass through them but do not allow heat to escape into the atmosphere. When infrared hits the earth's surface it turns to the heat wave that has much longer wavelengths. This causes the earth’s atmosphere to retain more heat hence increased global temperatures.</span>

<span>3.       </span><span>When greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide are reduced in the atmosphere, the earth is able to radiate more sunlight back into space due to the reduced greenhouse effect. This enables the global temperatures to remain low. At the poles where temperatures are cold remains even colder hence the waters in these regions turn to glaciers. The ice continents increase in size and hence a big characteristic of ice ages. </span>

<span>4.       </span><span>Humans are not responsible for global warming even though they contribute but in minimal proportions as compared to the natural process. This is because it is estimated that termites produce even more carbon dioxide than humans. Ice ages and global warming are therefore natural cycles governed by the sun. However, human activity aggravates global warming. </span>

What is the relationship of NADP and NADPH?
Lynna [10]
NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+. This simply means that NADPH has an extra hydrogen ion. NADPH is formed when upon the reduction of NADP+ . NADP stands for nicotine amide dinucleotide phosphate. It is a coenzyme that is involved in a wide range of anabolic reactions. During the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants, NADPH acts as a reducing agent, likewise in the synthesis of nucleic acids and lipids. As a reduced compound, NADPH becomes a molecule with high energy thus being especially useful in driving the Calvin cycle.

Which of the following is a correct DIFFERENCE between sexual and asexual reproduction?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. Sexual Reproduction creates genetically different offspring.

Explanation:

Sexual Reproduction is created through 2 different opposite parties, in which the product takes around half of the genes from each individual parties. The traits that are shown are then decided on whether or not they are dominant or recessive or non-existent.

In a Asexual Reproduction, the reproductive capabilities of both parties are found inside one organism. The organism is able to produce both the sperm and egg, and therefore do not need a partner to reproduce. This means that the DNA inside the body is the only source for production, and that there will be very little variation in the DNA.
