Answer: Acid rain is a product of the <u>chemical reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that is released with water, oxygen, and other chemicals into the atmosphere.</u> <u>Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide dissolve in water and can be carried several miles by the wind</u>. After traveling for a long distance,<u> the two compounds become part of rain, sleet, snow or fog.</u> <u>Power plants emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when fossil fuels such as coal are burned to produce electricity.</u> Aswell as <u>the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the air.</u>
Answer and Explanation:
In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:
- The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
- Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
- The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
- Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.
Answer:
"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.
"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.
These statements are true, however:
SUNLIGHT
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
MINERALS
OXYGEN
PLANT SUGARS
Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.
Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).
Answer:
Reproductive isolation refers to the inability of an organism or species to breed successfully with other organism or species.
It may arise from various factors such as:
- Geographical isolation such as river, mountain, etc
- Behavioral changes such as mating time or season, mating rituals, mating location etc.
- Physiological differences such as change in shape of sex organs which causes lack of fit between copulatory organs.
- Genetic differences.
Reproductive and geographical isolations between two populations (of same species) inhibit the flow of genes among them. Slowly, these isolations increase the variations in the gene pools of the two populations.
These genetic variations keep on increasing with time. In addition, as an adaptation to their surrounding or habitat the two populations would develop different behavioral and physiological changes
With time, these differences will increase up to such an extent that the two populations would not be able breed with each other. Hence, it would lead to the evolution of one or both the populations into new species.
The nucleus because it is the brain of the cell, it's what controls it.
