Explain why the use of peat is harmful to the environment

Biology
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Peatlands store a third of the world's soil carbon, and their harvesting and use releases carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas driving climate change. The biggest environmental risk from peatlands is if they catch fire, which happened spectacularly in 2015 in Indonesia on land cleared for plantations.

What would happen if the electron transport system in the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis was disabled for some reaso
Andrei [34K]
The electron transport system in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is the one that is responsible for the production of electrons that are used as precursor for NADPH production. The NADPH and the other products that are made during the light dependent reaction are used during the dark reaction to produce sugar molecules. So, if the electron transport is disabled, glucose molecule will not be produced during the dark reaction.<span />

A Paramecium has an internal sucrose concentration of 0.040 M, a glucose concentration of 0.035 M, and a fructose concentration
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<u>c. Sucrose and glucose</u>

Explanation:

The paramecium is a large, single-celled microbes, surrounded by a plasma membrane. Simple diffusion occurs in cells across plasma membranes, as a form of passive transport. In diffusion, solutes move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration across the plasma membrane.

Here, the internal environment has higher concentrations of sucrose and glucose, but lower concentrations of fructose, thus the solutes will move along their concentration gradient, to where the concentrations are lower. In order for the fructose molecules to move out of the cell, the molecules have to move against their concentration gradient - a process requiring energy known as active transport.
