Answer:

Yes, mitosis stops in the cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division. It is how non-reproductive or somatic cells divide. These somatic cells make up most of our body's organs and tissue, including muscles, gut, lungs, skin etc. In this type of cell division each daughter cells have the same chromosomes and DNA as that of parent cell.

Cells regulate their division by communicating with each other using chemical signals, which is important to for us to grow and so our cuts heal. Cell division must stop at the right time because if it continues it can lead to a disease called cancer. Some cells like brain cells and nerve cells divide often but cells like skin cells are constantly dividing to replace the skin cells we loose.

Yes, mitosis does indeed stop. There is a limited amount of times that cells can divide. For example, muscle and nerve cells. In fact, nerve cells stop at about the time we are born.

Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.

Explanation:

Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.

Two consequences of this practice are:

The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.

The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water could get into surface.
