Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is the stratosphere layer of earth that protect us from harmful UV radiation. Basically ozone gas protects earth from UV radiation and nearly 90% of the ozone in atmosphere is found in the stratosphere at an altitude of 16 and 48 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

Ozone is found in a concentrated form in stratosphere only. This ozone has a tendency to absorb ultraviolet light from the Sun and protect the earth from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Thus, it can be said that it is the stratosphere and not the troposphere that protects the Earth from UV radiation coming from the Sun

1. How can studying compounds in plants and animals benefit people? Give an example of how a compound found in a plant has been
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

It is beneficial to study plant and animal compounds for a multitude of reasons such as Sanitation, Bacterial fighting, and many more. An example of a plant compound that has benefited humanity would be penicillin which is derived from plants, it is considered the first true antibiotic.

Explanation:

Before 1928, humanity had conquered most of its enemies and people were only limited in lifespan by internal mechanisms being disrupted or failing, such as cancer, genetic errors,viruses, and BACTERIA. But in 1928 by accident a scientist discovered penicillin and finally deaths by bacteria were dropping to the point where in the past a mere cut could mean death by bacterial infection when compared to the present, humanity now doesn’t even consider bacterial infection, and that is all due to the power of penicillin and other antibiotics.

Water is a polar compound because there is a positive hydrogen end and a negative oxygen end, this is caused by an uneven electron distribution
