Answer:

An Overview of Geothermal Pros and Cons:

Pros Cons

This energy source is more environmentally friendly than conventional fuel sources.  The largest single disadvantage of geothermal energy is that it is location specific.

A source of renewable energy.  Gases are released into the atmosphere during digging.

The number of exploitable geothermal resources will increase with ongoing research and development in the industry.  Geothermal energy runs the risk of triggering earthquakes.

A sustainable source of energy as its always available unlike wind and solar.  Expensive resource to tap into, with high upfront costs ranging from around $2-$7 million for a plant with a 1 megawatt capacity.

A reliable source as its easier to predict the power output from a geothermal plant with a high degree of accuracy.  Energy fluid needs to be pumped back into the underground reservoirs faster than it is depleted. Management is required to maintain sustainability.

No fuel is required.  

Increase in exploration meaning that new technologies are being created to improve the energy process.  

Pollution levels are much lower compared to fossil fuels.

Answer:

B.  Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

An easy way to remember this is if something has the potential to fall from height, that medium will more than likely have gravitational potential energy.

Elastic EP is more so for when materials bend and warp, think of the energy in a stretched rubber band before you let it go

Vibrational energy is more along the lines of atoms and molecules which are constantly vibrating

Radiant energy is energy of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight or radiation, etc

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

OH, H2O2 and O−2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be defined as highly reactive chemical compounds formed from molecular oxygen (O2). ROS are generated as a normal product of cellular metabolism, and also as a response to different environmental/internal cellular stimuli (e.g., cytokines, xenobiotics, pathogenic invasion). For example, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are a type of ROS generated in the mitochondria which are capable of inducing oxidative stress in different cells and also trigger chronic inflammation. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules represent another type of ROS which are produced during the stereoselective deamination of amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. These molecules (H2O2) exhibit toxic effects on the cell (e.g., DNA damage). Finally, singlet oxygen (1O2) is an excited state of molecular oxygen (O2) that is generated during photosynthesis in the photosystem II (PSII) of chloroplasts.
