Greenhouse gases are measured by their ability to trap outgoing solar radiation and convert it to heat, warming the atmosphere.

Gnom [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and certain synthetic chemicals, trap some of the Earth's outgoing energy, thus retaining heat in the atmosphere. This heat trapping causes changes in the radiative balance of the Earth—the balance between energy received from the sun and emitted from Earth—that alter climate and weather patterns at global and regional scales.

Multiple lines of evidence confirm that human activities are the primary cause of the global warming of the past 50 years.1 Natural factors, such as variations in the sun's output, volcanic activity, the Earth's orbit, the carbon cycle, and others, also affect Earth's radiative balance. However, beginning in the late 1700s, the net global effect of human activities has been a continual increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.

This change in concentrations causes warming and is affecting various aspects of climate, including surface air and ocean temperatures, precipitation, and sea levels. Human health, agriculture, water resources, forests, wildlife, and coastal areas are all vulnerable to climate change.

Many greenhouse gases are extremely long-lived in the atmosphere, with some remaining airborne for tens to hundreds of years after being released. These long-lived greenhouse gases become globally mixed in the atmosphere and their concentrations reflect past and recent contributions from emissions sources worldwide. Others, like tropospheric ozone, have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere.

lord [1]

Answer:

Plus end and kinesin.

Explanation:

Three important cytoskeleton components are microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. Microtubules are the polymer of tubulin and plays an important role in the movement of cell organelles and its structure.

Microtubules shows the process of polymerization and depolymerization at different ends. The plus end shows the polymerization and minus end shows the depolymerization process. The kinesin protein is required for the process of polymerization.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Which population would be least likely to survive a change in its ecosystem?
Burka [1]

Answer: D

Explanation:

lIf the change in the ecosystem occurs, then it would effect the weather, temperature, and the abiotic factors. So, we can see that the bacteria could survive in any sort of temperature. So, A can't be it. Also, B can't be it because the grass can grow in any sort of soil, even if the soil is contaminated. C cant be it because even if the change in the envoriment (temperature, contaimination) kills of one of the brown bear's food source, they can still have other things they can eat. But, if the weather gets too hot or the soil gets contaimnated and kills off the ecalyptus plants, the koala has nothing  else to eat. So, best answer is D.
