Answer:

Slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere is discussed below.

Explanation:

  • Existence trees also extract carbon dioxide from the environment through photosynthesis and the method of 'slash and burn' efficiently reduces their carbon-capturing participation in enhancing environment development.
  • The direct origins of rainforest devastation are cleared. The principal reasons for total removal are cultivation and in more temperate regions, fuelwood acquisition.

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.

There are 2,000 mice living in a field. If 1,000 mice are born each month and 200 mice die each month, what is the per capita gr
Ivan

For 2,000 mice living in a field,  the per capita growth rate  is mathematically given as

NT=0.4

<h3>What is the per capita growth rate (rmax) of mice over a month?</h3>

Generally,  the birth and death rate  is mathematically given as

BT=1000/2000

BT=0.5

Where

DT=200/2000

DT=0.1

In conclusion, per capita growth rate

NT=0.5-0.1

NT=0.4

vovangra [49]
Given the age of the meteorite is 4.5 billion years old with 78 atoms of lead-206 the answer should be B. 156. The half-life of uranium-238 in order to decay into lead-206 is 4.46 billion years, which means that the original number of atoms is 156.

Which hypothesis helps to explain why all organisms share the same genetic code?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.

Explanation:

The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.
