The correct answer is: B. A person spends one hour each day under the ultraviolet rays of a tanning bed.

The relationships between  ultraviolet (UV) light and skin cancer are highly positive because it has been shown that indoor tanning bed use represents an avoidable risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. UV light is a form of radiation that causes mutations in DNA by causing the chemical changes that alter the shape of the DNA. So, UV light is a potent mutagen and thus, tanning bed (source of UV light) can cause damage to the DNA in the surface layer of your skin after repeated or prolonged exposure. This might increase the risk for skin cancer.

The Hawaiian Islands are home to many endangered species. Why do you think the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is so strict abo
PtichkaEL [24]

The correct answer is C. It is so strict because a foreign species could compete with a native species and drive it to extinction.

The Hawaiian islands are one of the geographical isolated islands which faces the problem of the invasive species affecting the biodiversity of the island negatively.

The foreign species is equipped better to survive in the Hawaiian habitat and competes with the native species for the resources and food. The interaction and competition of the foreign species in the Hawaiian environment and habitat limits the resources for native species which increases the chance of the native species getting endangered.

The Hawaii Invasive Species Council along with other bodies such as department of agriculture, department of business and economic development, private and other government and non-government bodies have taken initiatives towards eradication of invasive species by strict laws.

El estudio de la propiedades físicas y químicas permiten diferenciar los diferetes tipos de minerales que se encuentran en la naturaleza.

Los minerales pueden encontrarse en su estado puro (por ejemplo, oro, plata, cobre) o bien estar combinados con otros materiales para formar diferentes elementos.

Why can the enzyme maltase, which breaks down into the sugar maltose, not also be used to break down the sugar sucrose?
Fed [463]

The enzyme maltase breaks down disaccharide maltose into simple sugar glucose, which is usable by the body. This glucose can now also be stored in the liver for future use.

This maltase does nor break down sugar sucrose because it is the sucrase enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose.

"Bald Eagle Facts
Simora [160]
The important part of the text is the following:

<span> "Their most important non-carrion food is fish, which they catch by swooping down and grabbing fish that are near the surface of the water."

We know here that in order to survive, the Bald Eagle needs access to the water - and this water cannot be frozen. So the less ice cover there is, the more food it can obtain!
