Explanation:
1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.
2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.
3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.
C. S waves travel through solids or very dense, glassy liquids. P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.
Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.

3. B
4. I
5. A
Explanation:
1. Nonrenewable resources include oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy.
2. Nonrenewable resources cannot be readily replaced at the speed with which they are being consumed.
3. Renewable sources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals, etc.
4. Because they take a very long time to form. They are not replaceable.
5. Corn can be used for ethanol fuel, and a new crop of corn can be grown and harvested each year. Corn is a renewable resource. Also, renewable resources <u>cannot</u> be replaced in our lifetime.
