BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Not very successful considering the fact that there is still acid rain even with more advances in technology such as the development of hydroelectric power plants and other renewable forms of energy so as to reduce the continuous burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Acid rain is produced when sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide forms are released into the atmosphere where they get to meet with water and other chemicals. Since water contains hydrogen and oxygen, it reacts with sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form to produce weak acids which come down to the earth as it rains. Fossil fuel combustion is a man-made practice of releasing sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form into the atmosphere which eventually results in acid rain.

Artemon [7]

Answer:B). Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer.

Explanation: A membrane is a lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell. Lipids have two parts: the fatty acid chain (the tail) and the phosphate group (the head).

The phosphate head groups are polar, face outward and interact with the outside environment of the cell. The fatty acid chain is hydrophobic and nonpolar, face each other in the bilayer thus forming a hydrophobic fluid interior.

The hydrophobic nature of the bilayer interior makes the membrane to permit only nonpolar and hydrophobic molecules to pass through the cell membrane. This is the reason the membrane allows only molecules that dissolve in the lipid bilayer to pass through to enter or leave the cell.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

Dehydration is the condition of the body which involves the loss of body fluid compared to the amount of water the body gets. Water is an important constituent of the human body making up to about two-third of the body. The normal body metabolism is affected when the amount of water in the body drops below the required level of water necessary for optimal functioning of the body.  

Athletes usually suffer from dehydration, most especially long distance runners, as they tend to lose a lot of body fluid through sweating while the body tries to regulate the body temperature during the race. When the body is dehydrated, the heart works harder to pump blood to various parts of the body leading to loss of strength of the muscles.  

Common signs a dehydrated person shows include feeling tired and lightheaded, loss of body weight etc.
