Answer:
Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.
Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.
Explanation:
Answer:
E. Gene is amplified by multiplication of cloning host
Explanation:
PCR is a very powerful technique that can help us to amplify exponentially one gene from a very small sample of DNA.
As seen in the attached image, the process begins with a single DNA molecule, for the first cycle, that DNA molecule denaturalizes into two strands, the primers bind to their complementary sides and then the DNA polymerase builds the new DNA strands. The number of copies of the gene that can be obtained with each cycle are 2ⁿ copies, where n is the cycle number.
I think the answer to this is D.
Answer:
Hooke frequently included microscopy demonstrations, regaling the reigning lights of English science - Newton, Boyle, Wren - with a variety of preparations. He used a number of instruments to extend the range of vision and investigate appearance and behavior at levels unseen by the unaided eye.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is: E) both B and C.
Explanation:
- Bacteria and Archaea forms two distinct and different Domains in the Taxonomic classification system.
- Nuclear envelope that surrounds and protects the genetic material by forming the Nucleus is absent in both Archaea and Bacteria. Both of them possess a region called the Nucleoid where their genetic material is located.
- Plasma membrane that surrounds the cell and maintains integrity of the cell structure is present in both Bacteria and Archaea. Although the composition of lipid in the plasma membrane is different in each.
- However, they vary in their cell wall composition. The cell wall of the bacteria is rich in a compound called peptidoglycan while the cell wall of archaea lacks peptidoglycan and is rich in polysaccharides and glycoproteins.
