Answer:
- allows fuels to burn forms
- is the gas that animals breathe
- forms ozone that absorbs the Sun's harmful rays
Explanation:
Oxygen is a powerful oxidizer (oxidizing agent or oxidant) that burns the fossil fuel, reacts with carbon, and produce CO2/CO. Although, it is not a sole oxidizer available on Earth but 99.9% of combustion reactions takes place in the presence of oxygen. It does the job by accepting electrons very fast in its valence shell.
Animals use oxygen to breath which produces ATPs through a series of chemical reactions particularly in electron transport chain. Again, it acts as a oxidizer and accepts electron in the electron transport chain. This gradient of electron flow is necessary for ATP production. In the end, water and CO2 are produced with ATPs.
Oxygen molecules in the stratosphere reacts with solar radiation (UV) and produce oxygen atoms. Thereon, each atom reacts further with the oxygen molecule to produce ozone. Ozone layer acts as a shield and doesn't allow penetration of harmful rays to the biosphere where living organisms are present.
Most of the wildlife will be affected, usually the wildlife there need the water in order to live properly. The trees that grow there will become endangered (only in that area) and the will affect the animals too because some birds live in those trees. Hope this helped.
Answer:
Number of bacteria cells = 2621440 cells
Explanation:
The generation time of a bacteria specie is the time it takes for a population of bacteria to double in number. The generation time for most common bacteria is quite short, about 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission, in which the parent cell divides into two to produce two identical daughter cells.
In the given question, the generation time of the bacterial species is 20 minutes.
The time that have passed from between the time the sandwich was packed at 6:00 am to lunch time by 12:00 pm is 6 hours.
Using the given formula in the hint: number of cells = 2^(ab) × C
Where a = number of times per hour the bacteria reproduces; b = number of hours; C = number of bacteria at the start
a = 60 minutes/ 20 minutes = 3; b = 6; C = 10
Number of cells = 2^(3 × 6) × 10
Number of cells = 2621440 cells
Answer:
1. Greenhouse gases absorb all kinds of radiation that fall on them
2. Greenhouse gases are released when the suns rays hit earth
3. Greenhouse gases allow the suns rays to pass through
4. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation from earth’s surface
