Answer:

Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources (see also mineral resource classification). Use of either of these forms of resources beyond their rate of replacement is considered to be resource depletion. The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in nature and the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is depleted the more the value of the resource increases. There are several types of resource depletion, the most known being: Aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, pollution or contamination of resources, slash-and-burn agricultural practices, Soil erosion, and overconsumption, excessive or unnecessary use of resources.

Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to farming, fishing, mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels. Depletion of wildlife populations is called defaunation.

Answer:

(A) True

Explanation:

The sun is producting the electromagnetic radiation which is the primary energy source on Earth and the driver of the entire climate system.

In general the sun is the source of energy that drives all life on Earth. This energy governs the weather, ocean currents and the hydrological cycles.

Without the continuous influx of sunlight and heat, life on Earth would cease to exist. The sun sets off the hydrological cycle, causing it to constantly evaporate into the atmosphere, from which it falls back to Earth.

Ans: maintain homeostasis

Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. It is the stable state of an organism and of its internal environment. Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. The stable condition is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism, and is dependent on many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits.

What is Acetyl-coA and how does it help with food digestion ?

artcher [175]

Answer: what is Acetyl CoA is made from pyruvate under aerobic conditions in the mitochondria. The process of conversion is irreversible. I don't know the other half I'm sorry.

Explanation:

Acetyl CoA Used by the citric acid cycle as a fuel. Carbon acetyl groups are converted to CO2 and ATP and electrons (carried by NADH and FADH2) create even MORE electrons. Acetyl CoA is made from pyruvate under aerobic conditions in the mitochondria. The Process of conversion is irreversible.
