Explanation:
Genetic evolution is the meaning of biologic life, in that it is the why and how of it, as well as the stock of future biological existence. The genes that survive -- and in turn the organisms they make -- are the winners in the existence game. ... We owe our existence to this process, and our future depends on it.
Answer:
Perform different functions for the organisms

Answer:
I believe it is Adenosine 5'-triphosphate
Explanation:
Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.
Explanation:
Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.
Two consequences of this practice are:
- The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
- The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water could get into surface.
Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________
V = d / t = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .
Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]: 45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
"45 m/min."
________________________________________________________
Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.
So, we need to convert:
45 mi. to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________
1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________
So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_ m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
____________________________________________________
and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)] / [(3)*(3.2)] m = (5280 / 9.6) m = 550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have: 550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.
However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________
So, we convert: 550 m / min to: "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) = (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
= 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
which is: None of the above.
______________________________________________________
Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.
