Answer:

Carbon dioxide gas contributes most to the greenhouse effect

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect occurs by human activities, such as cutting the forest and burning fossil fuel, which increases the level of carbon dioxide gas.

Burning fossil fuel results in the combination of carbon with oxygen which forms Carbon dioxide.

The Greenhouse gas Carbon dioxide contributes the most greenhouse effect by trapping the radiating heat from the Earth, heat is absorbed in form of radiations and emitted which warmer the lower atmosphere, resulting in melting of glaciers,melting of ice sheets, and warming the ocean.

Thus Carbon dioxide gas contributes most to the greenhouse effect.

Which is the best example of organisms that have been naturally selected?

KengaRu [80]

Natural selection is when species learn to adapt to their environment. They could (1) differential reproduction, that is, not all organisms are able to reproduce to their fullest capacity because nature cannot simply sustain it and (2) acquire genes, that is heredity. Certain characteristics of organisms tend to survive if it continues to strive. If it survives, this trait is passed down to the next generations forgetting the other traits but only the one who could survive the environment. Therefore it is true that natural selection is when ‘organisms inherit advantageous traits, and tend to reproduce more successfully than other organisms’. One best example is the extinction of other animals and some with the same species retains.

Anna35 [415]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Read each description below regarding the dual innervation of the ANS. Then click and drag each into the appropriate category base on whether it is an example of antagonic or cooperative innervation.

The sympathetic division stimulates mucus production by salivary glands while the parasympathetic division stimulates enzyme secretion.

The sympathetic division stimulates am increase in heart rate while the parasympathetic division stimulates a decrease in heart rate.

During sex, the parasympathetic division stimulates arousal while the sympathetic division stimulates orgasm.

The parasympathetic division constricts the pupils while the sympathetic division dilates the pupils.

Antagonistic:

Cooperative:

Answer: Antagonistic: The sympathetic division stimulates am increase in heart rate while the parasympathetic division stimulates a decrease in heart rate; The parasympathetic division constricts the pupils while the sympathetic division dilates the pupils.

Cooperative: The sympathetic division stimulates mucus production by salivary glands while the parasympathetic division stimulates enzyme secretion.; During sex, the parasympathetic division stimulates arousal while the sympathetic division stimulates orgasm.

Explanation: The peripheral nervous system is divided in Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The first is responsible for sensory input and voluntary motion.

Autonomic Nervous System is divided into Sympathetic and Parasympathetic divisions and is controls the fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest situations. Usually, an organ with sympathetic and parasympathetic innervations have antagonic function, such as the heart rate - one system causes the heart rate to increase while the other stimulates the rate to decrease. However there are cases in which the combination of the 2 systems cause an increase of stimulation, producing similar effects.

Analysing each category above, it is deductable that when the sympathetic stimulates mucus production and parasympathetic, enzyme secretion and when the parasympathetic stimulates arousal and sympathetic, orgasm, in both cases, they have cooperative innervation.

On the other hand, when sympathetic stimulates increase in heart rate and parasympathetic, decrease in the rate, as stated before, and one stimulates constriction of the pupils and the other, dilation of the them, those are examples of having antagonic innervation.
