Answer:

A. Fundamental Role

Explanation:

Carbon is present in all the organic compounds, specifically the macromolecules present in the cells of the living beings. The ability of carbon to make four covalent bonds with other atoms and specific orientation of bonded atoms in the space determine the three-dimensional structures of these compounds. And the structure of the compounds regulates their respective functions.  

For example, nucleic acids are the polymers of nucleotides which are joined together to make the long chains of DNA and RNA.  The stretch of nucleotide sequence of DNA serves as gene and code for specific protein. Likewise, enzymes are proteins and have pockets called active sites to interact with substrates.

Answer:

The option 'All cells contain a nucleus' is not a part of the cell theory.

Explanation:

The cell theory proposed by scientists illustrates that every organism whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic is made up of a cell or different kinds of cells. It also that explains that cells are made from living things. According to the cell theory, cells are termed as the basic unit of life, without which life is not possible.

The cell theory does not claim that every cell must have a nucleus because many cells like cells of prokaryotes lack nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.

In this activity, you’ll research a threatened ecosystem, the factors that are contributing to its decline in biodiversity, and
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

forest ecosystem is whereby the organism live together and interact with each other and their environment. The biodiversity in this ecosystem is reducing due to the following factors:

1. deforestation: if most of the trees in the forest are been cut down without replacement it will affect the animal living there. especially herbivores, they feed on this plant and use it as a hideout.

2. bush burning: if the bush is burnt it may lead the animals to ran away for there safety and some may die of hunger, and some trees and plants may also become weak and die therefore reducing food for other animals.

3. Climate change: Climate change is one of the reasons. As deforestation may lead to climate change and many other factors, Without transpiration and evaporation cloud won't be form and there will be no rain which may lead to draught and finally animal will die and others will migrate.

possible solution to this

1. Avoid deforestation, and bush and plant more trees.

2. the government can also make laws concerning deforestation, bush burning, burning of fosil fuels and tires to avoid climate change.

Which of the following might explain the lack of cloud formation? Choose one or more:
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The following might explain the lack of cloud formation

  • The air package never reaches its dew point.
  • There are too few aerosols present in the air package.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For the formation of the cloud the air in the higher position should have much colder than that of the surface. The vapours travels till it reaches the point where it has lower temperature as well as the pressure so that the water will condense into the droplets which will result in the formation of the cloud. When those vapours condenses to the liquid or to the solid it will release some of it energy to the air. For the formation of the cloud three things are mandatory and they are moisture, cooling air and the condensation nuclei. Also, for the formation of clouds, suspended particles like aerosols are required for the water to condense. As there are few aerosols, water doesn't get to condense.
