Answer:
c. carbon source
Explanation:
A "carbon source" refers to processes that<u><em> hastens carbon release into the atmosphere more than what they absorb.</em></u> Example of this is the burning of nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels.
The combustion of fossil fuels<em> increases the release of carbon dioxide.</em> Carbon is then being trapped into the atmosphere. This contributes to <em>"global warming."</em>
This is<u> opposite to</u><em><u> "carbon sink,"</u></em><em> </em>which absorbs most of the carbon than they emit.
I believe the answer is C
The yield of ATP from the complete aerobic oxidation of one glucose molecule is 36 ATP.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "adaptive radiation".
Explanation:
The term "adaptive radiation" is used in evolutionary biology to describe a evolutionary history at which many different organisms are created as a result of a rapid diversification of an ancestral species. This phenomenon takes place as a result of changes in the environmental conditions that forces new species to adapt quickly. The scientist observations of many intermediate forms at different continents of an ancestral reptile, most strongly support the evolutionary model of adaptive radiation.
Oh this one is so cool!
It basically all boils down to Vitamin D! We need this essential vitamin to help our body build hormones and regulate calcium. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are exposed to the UV rays found in sunlight. But as we all know, too much sunlight isn’t good because these UV rays can harm us. Melanin (the chemical that our bodies produce to darken skin tone and hair color) provides protection from UV rays by absorbing them. However, this means that the more melanin that is produced by someone’s body results in less absorption of UV rays and a decrease in Vitamin D production. But for someone living around the equator or in the tropics that doesn’t matter because there’s lots of sun all the time. So for humans living in these areas where there’s lots of sunlight year round, it’s beneficial to have darker skin to protect from the harm of UV rays. People living in these areas still get plenty of Vitamin D though because of that year round sunshine.
Now what about those who’s skin has less melanin, such as those found in the higher latitudes? Well with less sunlight year round, their bodies had to adapt to be able to get enough Vitamin D. So less melanin is produced by the body in order to absorb the lesser amounts of UV rays to make Vitamin D. Lighter skin is, therefore, more beneficial the farther away you go from the tropics.
So essentially:
Pro of Darker Skin tones
-Protection from harmful UV rays
Con of Darker Skin tones
-Less absorption of UV rays and less production of Vitamin D
Pro of Lighter Skin tones
-Greater absorption of UV rays and more Vitamin D production
Con of Lighter Skin tones
-Less protection from harmful UV rays (resulting in sunburns and, in extreme cases, skin cancer)
This is of course the biology answer. The social impacts of different skin tones is a whole different story that you can ask in the history section.
