Answer:

Ozone (O₃) gas

Explanation:

In the Earth's stratosphere, oxygen gas (O₂) is combined with atomic oxygen (O) to form ozone gas (O₃). This is very important because ozone protects the life on Earth from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. UV radiation is high-energy radiation, and it is very dangerous for living organisms. Ozone molecule (O₃) absorbs UV radiation and it breaks down by forming O₂ and atomic oxygen (O) again. In this way, it protects the Earth from nocive radiation.

Why has the kingdom protista been abandoned? see concept 28.1 (page 592) view available hint(s) why has the kingdom protista bee
liberstina [14]
The answer is the second and third answers. Kingdom Protista is a polyphyletic taxon, meaning they did not evolve from one common ancestor, unlike what you see from a monophyletic taxon. Because they come from multiple ancestors, they share more similarities with other organisms from other kingdoms, rather than themselves.
