Atoms are the most basic units
Elements are specific types of atoms
Compounds are composed of more than one type of element and are held together by chemical bonds
Answer:
The atmosphere protects earth from the suns strong rays and keeps our oxygen on earth for us to breathe. Not to mention the moon would start taking all our water. If we somehow DID survive, we would not last very long, for the earth would over heat and with no plants, animals, or water, we would either die from starvation or from dehydration. If it weren't for the atmosphere our world would be burned to a crisp like Venus!
Explanation:
Answer: (c) It generates ATP, which cells can use to do work.
(d) It generates chemical gradients, which have potential energy.
Explanation:
The overall process of Cellular respiration is the aerobic break down of organic compounds (food) with the release of CO2, water and energy in form of ATP which drives most cellular work.
Organic compound + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP + heat)
In cellular respiration during the break down of food in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, chemical energy (NADH and FADH) are extracted from each cellular process and transported to the electron transport chain built in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The chemical energy harvested from food is transformed into a proton-motive force, a gradient of H+ across the membrane. When this H+ election fall from their gradient via ATP synthase, Chemiosmosis couples this proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
As the ocean level rises sea water floods inland and puts a risk to water reserves like dammed lakes and other places by contamination
