Answer: c. Senescence begins once body structures reach maximum capacity and efficiency

Explanation: Senescence is simply ‘growing old’. Aging sets in at the time when physical development is complete - when a person reaches their ‘prime’. After that a person is ‘past their prime’ which is the subjective recognition of the on set of gradual deterioration. The biological rationale is that the purpose of life is to survive to reproductive age and to reproduce, and in some species to assist progeny to survive to reproductive age. Beyond that, survival has limited value.

An analogy is the length of an elephant’s trunk. It is as long as it needs to be, determined by natural selection, but no longer than it needs to be for optimum efficiency, again determined by natural selection.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.

A man pushes a lawn mower with a force of 200N across 50N meters of his lawn. How much work did the man perform?
krok68 [10]
Work is equal to force times distance or W = Fn x d

In this situation, you would use the following equation:
W= 200N x 50N

W= 10,000N

The man performed 10,000N of work.
