How are fossil fuels related to climate change?​

Biology

solmaris [256]3 years ago

Answer:Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

Answer:

The main component in fossil fuels/natural gases is called methane. When methane is burned with oxygen, it produces water and a large amount of greenhouse gases (commonly known as carbon dioxide). Carbon emissions from this process trap heat in the earth's atmosphere which leads to climate change. These gases are able to trap heat because their molecular structures allow them to absorb the infrared radiation from the sun.

Hope this helps!

The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by :
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Substrate-level phosphorylation

Explanation:

During the substrate-level phosphorylation, phosphoryl group is directly added to ADP or GDP to form ATP or GTP from phosphorylated intermediate rather than from inorganic phosphate like in case of oxidative phosphorylation.

So in glycolysis 4 ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Apart from the 4 ATP, 2NADH are also produced during the glycolysis which is used during the oxidative phosphorylation and produce 4-6 ATP.

So ATP made during glycolysis is generated by substrate-level phosphorylation as ATP is produced by direct addition of phosphoryl group from intermediates.
