Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

A natural phenomenon in which the atmospheric gases captivates heat and permits Earth to retain enough solar energy to be livable is termed as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gases are the methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and other gases, which gathers in the atmosphere and produces a heat-reflective layer that helps in trapping sunlight and keeps the Earth warm.  

Of these greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide is the largest contributor to climate change. It is largely emitted at the time of burning fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and other carbon-rich sources. Due to this, the level of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere resulting in the global phenomenon termed global warming.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
umka21 [38]

Answer: DESERT

Explanation:

Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.

Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.

The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:

--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water

--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.

--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.

The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
