VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are several eco-friendly techniques such as solar power plants, hydroelectric power plants, geotheraml enegy and wind turbines et-cetra, which have positive and negative both the impacts on environment that includes cryosphere, biodiversity, and human populations.

Positive impacts:

  • Hydropower plant (energy generated from water) is clean energy source and do not cause any air pollution and is a domestic source of energy, so each state can produce their own energy.
  • Wind turbines (energy generated from wind) are also clean energy source, do not cause any pollution, a renewable source of energy and provide power to remote locations.
  • Geothermal enetgy (energy generated through earth's internal heat) is environmet friendly source and better then conventional fuel sources as it does not require fuel, have high potential and sustainable.

Negative impacts:

  • Hydroelectric power plants are built by construction of dams and roads at water sites which affect the water habitat and also the destroys the nearby home of people. it affects the water flows in river and causes drought.
  • installation of Wind turbines allows posses threat to birds because of their heights and produces lots of noise that disturb the human population nearby. It can affect the flow of wind which indirectly affect the climate or weather at cryosphere and allows melting of ice.
  • Geothermal energy can cause cause earthquakes, nois pollution and destroy the native biodiversity.Geotheraml energy utilises heat inside the earth surface that affects the internal plates of earth of earth which disturbes the whole earth surface including cryosphere.

Hence, eco-friendly technologies have pros and cons both as mentioned above.

I need help with the image (phenotypes and genotypes).
Flauer [41]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. <u>Only one phenotype</u> is present in the F1 generation offspring. Since tallness was dominant over shortness, all the offspring in the F1 generation appeared tall.

2. <u>Two phenotypes </u>are present in the F2 generation - 9 tall and 3 short. The short trait reappeared at the F2 generation.

3. The genotype of the F1 offspring would be heterozygous. Assuming the purebred tall is AA and the purebred short is aa:

     AA   x   aa

  Aa   Aa   Aa   Aa

All the F1 offspring will appear tall and their genotypes would be heterozygous.

4. Assuming that the allele for height is denoted with A (a), <u>the genotype of the purebred tall plant would be AA. </u>

5. In a similia vein, <u>the genotype of the purebred short plant would be aa. </u>

First-pass effect.

  
The first-pass effect involves drugs that are given PO and absorbed from the small intestine directly into the portal venous system, which delivers the drug molecules to the liver. Once in the liver, enzymes break the drug into metabolites; they may become active or may be deactivated and readily excreted from the body. A large percentage of the oral dose is usually destroyed and never reaches tissues. Oral dosages account for this phenomenon to ensure an appropriate amount of the drug in the body to produce a therapeutic action. Passive diffusion is the major process through which drugs are absorbed into the body. Active transport is a process that uses energy to actively move a molecule across a cell membrane and is often involved in drug excretion in the kidney. Glomerular filtration is the passage of water and water-soluble components from the plasma into the renal tubule.

What are the limitations of electric impulse mechanism?​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The limitations that nerve impulses have are
