The oceans affect the biosphere by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, producing a substantial amount of the biosphere's oxygen, moderating the climate of the terrestrial biomes and also being the source of most of Earth's rainfall. 
Biosphere is the layer of the planet earth where life exists. This layer ranges from heights of up to ten kilometers above sea level, used by some birds in flight, to depths of the ocean such as the Puerto Rico trench, at more than 8 kilometers deep.

Answer:

iii) being the source of most of earth's rainfall

Explanation:

The oceans are most responsible for the formation of rain that occurs on our planet. This is because the water of the oceans in contact with the solar heat, evaporates, and becomes water vapor. This vapor is captured by clouds that become overloaded and start the precipitation process.

Precipitation is essential for human activities, such as agriculture, in addition to contributing to the smooth functioning of the hydrological cycle.

\boxed {\tt 3}

Explanation:

An element only has <u>one</u> type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical means.

1. This has two types of atoms, so it cannot be an element. It has more than one type of atom.

2. This has two types of atoms that are bonded together. It cannot be an element because there is more than one type of atom and the bonds can be broken.

3. This has one type of atoms, so it is an element.  

Therefore the best answer choice is 3.

When we say that an individual organism has a greater fitness than another individual, we specifically mean that the organism Gr
Reil [10]

Answer:

leaves more viable offspring than others of its species

Explanation:

Greater fitness is being conferred on an individual organism compared to the other individual member of a species population if that individual does not only just competes favorably for the limited resources available than the rest individuals, but is in fact able to reproduce more rapidly and thereby pass on such favorable traits, which makes them better competitors, to as many of their offspring as possible. Over time, you will find most of the offspring they leave behind more common in the population than the other.

If an individual organism is referred to as having a greater fitness compared to another individual of the same species, what it simply means is that the organism <em>leaves more viable offspring than others of its species</em>.

Paclitaxel affects not only cancer cells, but normal cells as well. Would the effects of Paclitaxel be seen first in organs that
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The most affected would be organs that have QUICKLY dividing cells (like the intestine and hair follicles).

Explanation:

Cancer cells are cells that divides uncontrollably giving rise to a mass of tissue called tumour. They grow faster than a normal cell in an uncoordinated manner, and continues to grow after the initial stimulus has ceased.

Paclitaxel is a drug that is approved for the treatment of cancer affecting different parts of the body. It's a microtubule-stabilizing drug whose mechanism of action is to induce mitotic arrest in the cancer cells.

Paclitaxel in its cause of action not only affect cancer cells but normal cells as well. To justify this statement, as stated earlier, the mechanism of action of paclitaxel is to induce mitotic arrest. Therefore the cells of organs where rapid mitosis occurs would be most affected. Skin cells, hair follicles and the cells lining our intestines (epithelial cells) all have high rates of mitosis as these tissues constantly need to be replaced.
