  • Flowers
  • Leaves
  • Animals
  • Rocks
  • Shells
  • Corals

Question 3

Anthropogenic cause of pollution are human causes of pollution. Some of these are:

  • Combustion of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines release harmful and toxic gases into the atmosphere and causes hair pollution.
  • Improper disposal of waste can produce effluent that reaches the ground water system and other fresh water sources.
  • Noise pollution from airports is very harmful to ear.
  • Mining activities degrades soil and removes rich fertile soils that should be used for agriculture.
  • Mining wastes can lead to contamination of water bodies around.

Question 4

Fossil fuels are fuel types that forms from natural process in which organisms are decomposed anaerobically to preserve their energy components. Some of these fuels are:

  • Coal
  • Crude oil
  • Natural gas

Question 5

  • Heart diseases ; ischaemic heart diseases can lead to failure of the heart when it does not receive enough oxygen from the environment. Air pollution contaminates available oxygen in the atmosphere and this is very dangerous to life.
  • Lung cancer: poor air quality can lead to the development of cancerous tumor in the lungs.
  • Asthma: air pollution is one of the leading cause of asthma.

Other notable mentions are bronchitis, pulmonary diseases, stroke

Question 6

_7 million____ people die each year from air pollution according to the world health organization

Question 7

Air Quality Index(AQI) is an indicator used to express the quality of air in particular area. The AQI can tell the present air quality condition. It can also be used to forecast future air quality in years to come.

It shows how clean and polluted the air is.

Question 8

The air quality index uses different colors to alert people about the quality of air. Each color represents different health implication of air quality:

     Attached image shows the different colors used to alert people of about the air quality.

Question 9

  • About 7 million people die annually as a result of air pollution
  • Beijing cough is new disease that emanates from the rising air pollution in Beijing
  • Asia has the fastest rising cases of air pollution problems.
  • The best way to reduce air pollution is by riding bicycles and walking more.

If the blood specimen from a dermal puncture is clotted before being mixed with the anticoagulant in the micro collection container, it will not be suitable for testing.

<h3>Why clotted blood cannot be used for testing?</h3>

In order to stop the loss of blood from damaged blood arteries, tissues, or organs, blood coagulation is a process where circulating components in the blood system are transformed into a gel with insoluble properties. The body creates a blood clot out of fibrin and platelets (thrombocytes) when a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is wounded in order to stop further blood loss. Blood clots can still develop in the body even when no blood vessels are damaged. An embolus is a clot or a portion of a clot that separates and starts to move around the body.

Clotting has a negative impact on our automated hematology analyzer and unpredictably invalidates cell counts resulting in errors while testing.

To understand the chemical basis of inheritance, we must understand the molecular structure of DNA.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

C) reductionism

Explanation:

The approach of reductionism is applied to decipher the basic concepts that rule some complex life processes. In this approach, the complex life processes can be interpreted by explaining the physical and chemical structure of involved components and their interactions. DNA molecules store genetic information. Inheritance means the transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next. Therefore, the chemical structure of DNA is the application of reductionism to understand the chemical basis of inheritance.
