<span>Depletion of the ozone layer. Choloroflourocarbon (CFCS) are dangerous because of their destructive reaction with Ozone particles, which provide the Earth with a protective layer or shield against UV radiation. Depletion of the ozone layer begins when when CFC gets into the stratosphere. Sunlight breaks up cfcs releasing Chlorine Atom. Chlorine atoms in turn react with Ozone, starting a chemical cycle that destroys the ozone layer in that area. Once the ozone layer is depleted, there's nothing holding back the harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere causing havoc on plants and animals.</span>

Viruses have two main structures: a(n) _____ and genetic material.
Evgesh-ka [11]
These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information, a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material. Hope this helped :)

Which two animals use echolocation? bats and humans bats and dolphins dolphins and humans dolphins and butterflies.
Mandarinka [93]

The two animals which use echolocation are bats and dolphins.

Both hunt their prey by articulating high-pitched sounds and listening for the echoes.

<h3>What is echolocation?</h3>

Echolocation is a method used by bats, dolphins and other animals to select the location of objects using reflected sound. This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can guide, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.

Thus, bats and dolphins are two animals that use echolocation.

Describe how ATP is produced in the light reactions.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two reactions take place that produce raw materials for the dark stage:  

  1. Light energy splits the water molecules into <em>hydrogen</em> and <em>oxygen</em>
  2. This process is called <u>photolysis  </u>

The hydrogen is taken up by a hydrogen acceptor called Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) while oxygen is released as a by-product  .

2 H₂O(l) --------->light energy -------> 4 H + O₂ (photolysis

)

Light energy strikes the chlorophyll molecules and sets in motion a series of reactions resulting in the production of a high energy molecule called <em>Adenosine Triphosphate</em> (ATP)

Hope this helps.
