Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Each year, five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels.Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent.Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating

What will happen to density of urine when a diabetic excretes too much sugar ?
pishuonlain [190]

The density of urine decreases when a diabetic secretes too much sugar.

When there is excess sugar in the blood, the kidneys release extra water.

The result is a <em>more dilute</em> and therefore <em>less dense urine</em>.

The urine from a non-diabetic person usually has a density of 1.010 g/mL to 1.025 g/mL.

The urine from a diabetic person often has a density less than 1.008 g/mL.
