Two test tubes are filled with a solution of bromthymol blue. A student exhales through a straw into each tube, and the bromthym

ol blue turns yellow. An aquatic green plant is placed in each tube, and the tubes are corked. One tube is placed in the dark, and the other tube is placed in direct sunlight. The yellow solution in the tube in sunlight turns blue, while the one in the dark remains yellow. Which statement best explains why the solution in the tube placed in sunlight returns to a blue color?a) Carbon dioxide was produced by respiration.b) Carbon dioxide was removed by photosynthesis.c) Oxygen was produced by photosynthesis.d) Oxygen was removed by respiration.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 

When Bromthymol blue (BTB) receives carbon dioxide (after a student exhales into it), turns yellow. This yellow color is due to the formation of slightly acidic carbonic acid. Now,  an aquatic green plant is placed in both the test tubes and one of these test tube is placed in sunlight. Thus, the test tube kept in sun has all ideal requirements  that would allow the plant to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis process removes carbon dioxide from the test tube and hence it apperas blue again. While the test tube in dark still appears yellow in color

Hence, option B is correct

How is the oxygen cycle disturbed by deforestation
eimsori [14]

Answer:

If deforestation is disturbed then the photosynthesis cycle is disturbed, which results in the oxygen cycle being affected. With a decrease in trees, a decrease in photosynthesis occurs, which cause a decline in the oxygen cycle. A decline in the oxygen cycle results in more polluted air.

Explanation:

Without trees, humans would not be able survive because the air would be unsuitable for breathing. Due to deforestation, there would be fewer trees to "clean" the air. Deforestation is the action or process of clearing of forests, or the state of having been cleared of forests.

Trees and plants, in general, produce energy for growth using a process known as photosynthesis. Using light, water and carbon dioxide, a plant produces energy in the form of sugar and releases oxygen into the air.

Deforestation, as well as a rise in the emissions and our global temperature, affects the air that we breathe. This is because all trees take in carbon dioxide and other pollutants which are known to cause a lot of problems in the atmosphere and to humans. This inevitably results in people breathing dirtier and more polluted air that normally wouldn't happen.  

Long-term exposure to polluted air can have permanent health effects such as: Accelerated aging of the lungs. Loss of lung capacity and decreased lung function. Development of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly cancer.

Trees are responsible for taking the carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis in order to make energy. This carbon is then either transferred into oxygen and released into the air by respiration or is stored inside the trees until they decompose into the soil. Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and lower amounts of oxygen. This bad quality air would also be full of airborne particles and pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.

In addition to the decrease of oxygen in the atmosphere, it would allow excessive amounts of carbon dioxide to remain. In the short term, since CO2 is one of the major greenhouse gases, it will undoubtedly lead to higher global temperatures which, in turn, would quicken the melting of the polar ice caps.

A coin is tossed into the air 500 times. approximately how many heads would you expect?
julia-pushkina [17]
Really it matters on which head you start the flip on. Whichever head you start with, there's a 51% chance to land on that one. If you start with heads, it would be 255 times.
