Answer:

Alienus quadlegicus: Mouth opened and no arms
Alienus hairicus: Mouth opened, hairy
Alienus tritoothicus: Mouth opened, not hairy
Alienus stripicus: Mouth not opened, horns
Alienus bloblicus: Mouth not opened, No legs
Alienus fuzzicus: Mouth not opened, Legs

2) Genus Alienus

3) Morphological characteristics of aliens are used to identify them and to name them.

Explanation:

1) The dichotomous keys give you information about the groups that are being differentiated to correctly identify them. All you need to do is follow the description of the organisms and the numbers where each description drives you. If you observed correctly the organism, you will reach the scientific name, or genus, or any other taxonomic group you are looking for.

2) Taxonomy is the study of different organisms, their classification into categories according to their morphological and molecular characteristics and their evolutionary relationships. A binomial name is assigned to each organism, composed of a genus and the epithet.

Among all the categories where organisms are classified, we can find the genus, which includes many species that share some common characteristics that are used to group them together.

In this example, Alienus is the genus of all these aliens species.

3) Morphological characteristics of aliens are used to identify them and to name them.

Alienus quadlegicus: Four-legged alien
Alienus hairicus: Hairy alien.
Alienus tritoothicus: Alien with three teeth
Alienus stripicus: Alien with striped horns
Alienus bloblicus: Alien with no shape. Shapeless mass
Alienus fuzzicus: Short fine-haired alien.

1. Describe at least two things people can do today to help protect Earth and reduce levels of CO2.

kondaur [170]

1. Two ways that man can reduce the global warming is by reducing carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) emissions. One way is by planting more trees. Forests are reservoirs for carbon since their remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process of photosynthesis. Second is by reducing the use of fossil fuels to produce energy. Fossil fuels are the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in their combustion

2. Greenhouse gases permit infrared rays from the sun to pass through them but do not allow heat to escape into the atmosphere. When infrared hits the earth's surface it turns to the heat wave that has much longer wavelengths. This causes the earth’s atmosphere to retain more heat hence increased global temperatures.

3. When greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide are reduced in the atmosphere, the earth is able to radiate more sunlight back into space due to the reduced greenhouse effect. This enables the global temperatures to remain low. At the poles where temperatures are cold remains even colder hence the waters in these regions turn to glaciers. The ice continents increase in size and hence a big characteristic of ice ages.

4. Humans are not responsible for global warming even though they contribute but in minimal proportions as compared to the natural process. This is because it is estimated that termites produce even more carbon dioxide than humans. Ice ages and global warming are therefore natural cycles governed by the sun. However, human activity aggravates global warming.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.
