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!

Which of the following characteristics of living things best explains why humans sweat when they get hot?
Andrews [41]
Sweating by humans is a method of excretion. Metabolic wastes are taken out of the body through the process of sweating. Sweating also helps to cool down the body temperature because when we sweat, the water evaporates. This cools the body. Hope that helped. Have a nice day

Explanation:

not to mention but by the time you are startled your senses would probably be heightened due to you being  aware of your surroundings such as you would be constantly looking around you would hear better and probably move quicker for a short period of time due to pumping adrenaline.

andre [41]

Answer:

diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer

Explanation:

According to fluid mosaic model the cell membrane is made of bilayer of phospholipid. Many proteins are embedded in this bi layer. Carbohydrate and cholesterol are also found in different forms. Carbohydrate can either be attached to the embedded protein in which case it is called as glycoprotein or it can be connected to the lipid molecule in layer and called as glycolipid.

Proteins can be found in two forms too. They can either be embedded in the layer i.e. they can penetrate single or both layers. These proteins are called as integral proteins. They can also be present on one side of the membrane and not penetrate the lipid bilayer in which case they are called as peripheral proteins.
