The “Food Factories” in plant cells are called

1 answer:

4 0

In most plants, the leaves are the main food factories. They capture the sun's energy with the help of chlorophyll in the leaf cells. The chlorophyll traps and packages the energy from the light of the sun in a process called photosynthesis. Leaves usually have a large surface so they can collect the most sunlight.

Answer: Mercury has been well known as an environmental pollutant for several decades. As early as the 1950's it was established that emissions of mercury to the environment could have serious effects on human health. These early studies demonstrated that fish and other wildlife from various ecosystems commonly attain mercury levels of toxicological concern when directly affected by mercury-containing emissions from human-related activities. Human health concerns arise when fish and wildlife from these ecosystems are consumed by humans.

During the past decade, a new trend has emerged with regard to mercury pollution. Investigations initiated in the late 1980's in the northern-tier states of the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries found that fish, mainly from nutrient-poor lakes and often in very remote areas, commonly have high levels of mercury. More recent fish sampling surveys in other regions of the U.S. have shown widespread mercury contamination in streams, wet-lands, reservoirs, and lakes. To date, 33 states have issued fish consumption advisories because of mercury contamination.

These continental to global scale occurrences of mercury contamination cannot be linked to individual emissions of mercury, but instead are due to widespread air pollution. When scientists measure mercury levels in air and surface water, however, the observed levels are extraordinarily low.

Answer:

In a general aspect, humid and warm air moves to lower latitudes or in altitude, losing heat and getting colder. Its humidity condenses and causes precipitation. Depending on the air movement there are different kinds of rain.

Explanation:

At a global level, it occurs unequal warming of the atmosphere, which depends on many factors and varies with latitude. This occurs because solar radiation reaches the earth differently at different latitudes, resulting in big convective cells of atmospheric circulation: Hardley cell, Ferrel cell, and Polar cell.

A convective cell is the movement of the humid air among different latitudes. Air moves from higher latitudes to lower latitudes, getting warm, getting less dense, and ascending. As the air gets higher in altitude, it´s density and pressure decrease, so the air tends to expand with elevation in response to the reduced pressure. Gases in expansion experiment adiabatic cooling, losing caloric energy as their molecules move getting farther away from each other. As the air gets higher, it gets colder, and hence, denser. The result is that descends again. Humidity gets denser and precipitates.

• Rain is controlled by temperature on the earth´s surface, atmospheric global air circulation, the position of the mountains and oceans, closure to the oceans.

• There are different kinds of precipitations according to their origin.

i. Convective precipitation: These are the most typical ones. Air gets warmer and less dense, elevating in altitude with humidity. On the way, it starts to get colder, and the humidity condenses, resulting in precipitation. Depending o the degree of condensation, the precipitation might be in a liquid state (rain), semisolid-state (snow), or solid-state (hail).

ii. Frontal Precipitations: They occur when a polar front coming from higher latitudes collide with a warm front coming from lower latitudes, resulting in a strong rain. This is typical of grasslands or temperate forests (approximately 40 º latitude)

iii. Orographic Precipitations: They occur when humid wind ascends by a mountain range, causing its adiabatic cooling, condensing the humidity, and precipitating.
