Answer:

The correct answer is "Redwood tree; human being; Paramecium; White Blood Cell; Escherichia coli; Chickenpox virus; Ribosome; Prion fibril; Water molecule; Sulfur atom".

Explanation:

Redwood trees are gigantic trees, and its size can reach up to 90 meters.

The average size of a human being is 1.7 meters for males and 1.6 meters for females.

Paramecium are members of the protozoa genus, among the largest unicellular algae. Its average size is among 50 to 330 micrometers.

White Blood Cell are up to 17 micrometers in diameter.

Escherichia coli is a type of bacteria, as a prokaryotic organism is much more smaller than a eukaryotic cell such asa the white blood cell. Escherichia coli is up to 2 micrometers in diameter.

Chickenpox virus are among the largest viruses, they are from 150 to 200 nanometers in diameter.

Ribosomes vary on size depending if they are Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic, where the first are up to 20 nanometers and the second are up to 30 nanometers.

Prion fibrils are aggregates comprised of several protein units. It size varies depending on the number of proteins, but the ones containing around 200 units can reach up to 27 nanometers.

Water molecule is comprised of two atoms of oxygen and one atom of hydrogen, its size is measured with picometers (1 picometer is equal to 1000 nanometers). A water molecule has a size of 275 picometers.

Sulfur atom is the smallest in the list. Its size is around 100 picometers.

Mashutka [201]

The carrying capacity of a biological organism in the surrounding refers to the maximum size of the population of the organism that the environment can maintain indeterminately, given the habitat, food, water, and other essential requirements in the environment.  

When a deep water island of marine debris is situated directly in the migratory path of a pod of humpback whales, then the carrying capacity for the region would be negotiated and the populations of whale will suffer.

If scientists are wrong about Earth's age based on radioactive material and the decay rates are really much faster, how would nu
kupik [55]

Nuclear power plants use the energy originating from the splitting or uranium atoms to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine generator.

The main problem with this form of energy production is the byproduct from the nuclear reactors known as radioactive waste. Although it is no longer efficient for the energy production, this waste is still radiating large amounts of heat and radiation. Thus, they are very hazardous as they are fatal on direct exposure and can contaminate the environment.

Due to the extremely long half-life, long term storage for this waste is extremely problematic.  However, if the decay rates were much faster, then the half-life would also be much shorter. Thus, short term storage solutions could be found.

Excepting the nuclear waste and the potential accidents (which are minimized in modern plants), nuclear energy does not immediately affect the climate on earth. With short half-lives, nuclear energy would perhaps become more popular than solar or wind energy as it is more reliable and efficient.
