The correct answer is A.photosynthesis

In the process of photosynthesis plants use the energy of the sunlight and absorbed CO2 from the atmosphere to create simple sugars. In this process, plants also create oxygen molecules that are released to the athmosphere.

Human activities that involve burning fossil fuels cause a release of a huge amount of CO2 to the atmosphere. Photosynthesis in plants can reverse the effects of this, but only to a certain extent. This is, but all means, not enough to stop the global warning effect that the CO2 build-up in the atmosphere is causing.

Answer:The correct answer is -

A.photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels (like coal and oil) , clearing of forests can lead to the accumulation of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, which affects the carbon cycle.

This can lead to many harmful effects like global warming (overall rise in the earth temperature).

These human interactions can be counteracted through photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process of formation of food (glucose) in green plants and algae using CO2 and water in the presence of sunlight.

It releases oxygen in the atmosphere as a byproduct of this process.

The atmospheric CO2 can be reduced through photosynthesis and therefore, it can help counteract the given human activities.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

Is chemosynthetic bacteria a consumer, producer, or decomposer?
Illusion [34]
A chemosynthetic bacteria is a producer. Chemosynthetic bacteria produce energy by using chemical reactions similar to photosynthesis but without the light as a catalyst. A chemosynthetic bacteria can produce organic molecules (i.e. glucose) from inorganic molecules just like photosynthetic organisms.

Jennifer thinks that feeding llamas corn instead of grass will help them run faster. Jennifer designs an experiment to test her
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The independent variable/answer is what the llama is eating since it changes the dependent variable how fast the llamas run. The independent variable is what is purposely being changed in the experiment.  

Hope this helped!

Amanda [17]

Answers:

a) carcinogenic

b) anti-carcinogenic

c) carcinogenic

d) carcinogenic

e) carcinogenic

f) anti-carcinogenic

g) anti-carcinogenic

h) anti-carcinogenic

Explanation:

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the progression through the cell cycle, i.e., the transition of G1 to S phase. It is well known that high cyclin expression may lead to cell proliferation states, which is closely associated with cancer progression. Moreover, the blockage of cyclins may have an anti-carcinogenic effect by inhibiting the progression through the cell cycle. MAP kinases are serine/threonine kinases that regulate the progression through the cell cycle by phosphorylating a variety of substrates during cell proliferation. In consequence, phosphatases that inactivate MAPK kinases (i.e., by dephosphorylation) may have an anticarcinogenic effect. The p53 is a tumor suppressor protein involved in diverse cellular processes including DNA repair, cycle arrest and programmed cell death. This protein (p53) is activated by phosphorylation at target residues and phosphatases inactivate it, thereby the blockage of its degradation may have an anticarcinogenic effect. Oncogene activation (i.e., the expression of oncogenes), may alter diverse cellular processes including DNA replication, and thereby may lead to cancer development. The G-protein α subunit is a GTPase that hydrolyses GTP and thus has a major role in controlling the kinetics of the G-protein signaling cascade. Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) are kinase receptors that play roles in regulating cellular differentiation, cell proliferation and cell growth. PDGFR receptors are present on the surface of normal cells, however, it has been shown that mutations of the PDGFR genes that lead to their high expression lead to uncontrolled cell growth and consequently cause cancer (i.e., by increasing PDGF signaling).
