________ allow materials to be exchanged between the blood and tissues, ________ carry blood towards the heart, and ________ car
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

b.  Capillaries; veins; arteries

Explanation:

Capillaries are the blood vessels with very thin walls. They serve as a site for an exchange of substances such as respiratory gases, nutrients, and toxins between the blood and the cells of the tissues. Veins are the blood vessels that mostly pick the deoxygenated blood from the body cells and deliver it to the heart for oxygenation. On the other hand, arteries are the blood vessels that mostly carry the oxygen-rich blood. They pick the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to body cells. Therefore, veins carry blood towards the heart while arteries carry it away from the heart.

Match the human activity and how it increases the greenhouse affect
laiz [17]

Answer:

1. primary cause of human-created carbon emissions = burning fossil fuels

2. destroys natural carbon sinks leading to more carbon dioxide in the air = deforestation

3. emits methane from decomposing matter = waste disposal in landfills

Explanation:

1. "Fossil fuels" are <em>nonrenewable resources</em> that are considered essential for the operation of many factories and industries. <em>Burning them accounts for most of the carbon emissions on Earth</em>, and this leads to<em> "global warming."</em>

2. "Forests" are considered "carbon sinks" because they have a role of <u><em>absorbing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere</em></u>. Cutting down the trees (deforestation) makes forests barren. It then leads to more carbon dioxide in the air.

3.<em> Waste disposals in landfills contribute to the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere.</em> Methane is considered a <em><u>potent greenhouse gas</u></em> that affects people's health.
