methane- production and transport of oil and natural

gas

nitrous oxide- agricultural and industrial activities

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gaseous components that induces greenhouse effect. This means that due to their structural ability to trap heat energy in the atmosphere, they contribute to the global warming effect on the Earth. However, this greenhouse gases are produced in large amounts as a result of the day-to-day anthropogenic activities. The following are the greenhouse gases and how they are produced.

Carbondioxide (CO2)- Carbondioxide is the most common and important greenhouse gas. It is generated via natural processes like respiration but also produced when fossil fuels e.g coal, petroleum etc. are burned.

Fluorinated gases- This is another greenhouse gas caused by activities of man. Fluorinated gases are produced in industries during the production of certain products.

Methane- Methane is a gaseous hydrocarbon and the principal constituent of natural gas. Therefore, the production and transportation of oil and natural gases can lead to the escape of methane into the atmosphere.

Nitrous oxide- Nitrous oxide is an oxide of nitrogen. It is mainly produced via agricultural processes such as nitrification and denitrification or use of fertilizers etc. and also industrial actions.

Explain why treehouses dont change in height as a tree grows

Dmitrij [34]

Treehouses are built on the stem and the three branches, which do not grow in length, only in width. Trees grow in length only in the area of the buds, which are located at the ends of branches.
Maybe it is easier to understand this if you imagine that you put a small house replica on the palm of your hand and that your fingers are constantly growing from their tips. So, the house on your palm would not move, only your fingers, (the analogy to the three top buds) would become longer.

nordsb [41]

When the cardiac muscle cell is at rest, the concentration of sodium and calcium is greater on the outside of the cell.

The resting membrane potential (the cardiac muscle cell is at rest) is characterized by more negatively charged inside of the membrane comparing to the outside. The main ions found outside the cell at rest are: sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl−), and Ca2+ whereas inside the cell it is mainly potassium (K+).
