Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.

In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources.

These are sometimes known instead as mineral fuels.

The utilization of fossil fuels has enabled large-scale industrial development and largely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat.

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.

A small portion of hydrocarbon-based fuels are biofuels derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide, and thus do not increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Some _____ fungi can be eaten, but there are also some that are harmful to plant life, like wheat rust.

kaheart [24]

Answer:A. club

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms .they are feed on dead, decaying matter because they lack chloroplast. Most fungi are parasitic or symbiotic.

Fungi lacks root, stem and leaves. They however posses threadlike filaments called hyphae, which forms a larger mass called mycellium. Fungi reproduce asexually by spores. The classification of fungi are;

#zygomycetes, also called conjugation fungi .eg bread mold

#ascomycetes, also called sac fungi eg baker's yeast

#deuteromycota, also called imperfect fungi eg penicillium

#basidiomycetes .they are the commonly known mushrooms. They grow on wood and trees. Most of their species are edible. They are also called club fungi

Name the following <br><br>he valve presents at the mouth of the pulmonary artery

trapecia [35]

Explanation:

The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) is a valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the aortic valve. Similar to the aortic valve, the pulmonary valve opens in ventricular systole, when the pressure in the right ventricle rises above the pressure in the pulmonary artery. At the end of ventricular systole, when the pressure in the right ventricle falls rapidly, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will close the pulmonary valve.

In a forest more grass grew as a result of more rain. How will grass affect the deer that live in the forest?

Archy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

if not then here

Just as forest habitat can affect deer, deer can affect forests. ... High deer populations can degrade vegetation communities and habitat for other wildlife species. Without that, no one has a place to call home.
