Biology
2 answers:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms.

Explanation:

Organic compounds composed of carbon, fluorine, and chlorine are Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are non-toxic, non-flammable chemicals used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, packing materials, as refrigerants, and as solvents.

When UV light rays strike CFC molecules in the stratosphere this results in the displacement of a chlorine atom. Then chlorine atom destroys the ozone by reacting with an ozone molecule breaking it apart.

SO, chlorofluorocarbons are made of carbon, chlorine and fluorine.

Researchers hypothesized that cocaine is pharmacologically active in primate fetal brain when pregnant primates are administered
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Option A, Glucose metabolism in the fetal brain increased

Explanation:

Usage of cocaine during pregnancy is prohibited. However, in case if cocaine is taken it disrupts the metabolism as it increases brain glucose metabolism to the level of an adult human being. Since glucose metabolism in brain is a sensitive process, any disruption in it can lead to unaccounted effects such as dysfunctional circulation, and pharmacological effect. Cocaine increases the dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporters thereby increasing the Vmax. Since the brain of a child has all kind of neurochemical components, cocaine intakes by a pregnant woman produces reinforcing effects in brain of fetus and also make it pharmacologically active

Hence, option A  is correct

Why is it important for the cell membrane to allow materials to enter and leave the cell
umka21 [38]
<span>Cell membrane needs to allow and exit the materials that enter the cell because the cell needs nutrients and these nutrients are converted into molecules that aid in many cellular activities like repair, divide and form structures and biomolecules.
Also to excrete wastes and other harmful materials for the cell.
This continues because the cell wants to attain homeostasis.

Homeostasis is the state where the internal and external part of the body maintains and establishes balance and equilibrium. This is achieved through cellular processes in the body, the integumentary system regulates the body temperature, the hypothalamus –hunger and thirst of the individual and other interrelated organ systems that make the body healthy and in the state of equilibrium. Now, when diseases or disorders appear they disrupt the organ systems in the body thus, causing imbalance state –high fever, inability to focus and etc.<span>

Summarize what the researchers did to improve the quality of post mining site soil
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The researcher centred on the potential uses of biochar, charcoal primarily used for agricultural and to improve the quality of post mining sites.

A method called mountaintop removal was used by mining firms. This means that they remove rock and mineral deposits off the top of the mountain to gain access to within the coal seams. The resulting soil is infertile and strongly acidic. The compacted soil after mine proves harder to  bring seed into the soil.

The researchers  try to use biochar to help reforest the soil at the post-mining site. Before it was reseeded and replanted, they got permission to add a layer of biochar to a post-mining site. the team created “planting cells” of biochar‐enhanced soil on the post‐mining site and that showed improvment in the sapling growth.

Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The creation of DNA fragments with ends that can join with other DNA is achieved by the use of restrictive enzyme analysis.

<h3>What are restriction enzymes?</h3>

They are enzymes utilized in genetic engineering or gene recombination technology to cut DNA at some specific points in other to have sticky ends.

The sticky ends DNAs are able to join with other DNAs using these ends. Another enzyme (Ligase) is utilized to join the DNA back once the desired DNA has been inculcated.
