With the advent of industrialization, several trees have been cut at an alarming rate for raw materials and various other purposes. This felling of trees can be regulated by selective cutting, clear-cutting and shelterwood cutting.
Forest fires are one of the common causes of loss of forests. Sometimes the forest land is set on fire to make the land available for commercial purposes. Once cleared, there can be no vegetation. Natural forest fires are also responsible for the destruction of huge forest covers. Latest fire fighting techniques should be adopted to conserve the forest. However, forest fires are an important part of the ecosystem and it helps replenish nutrients in the soil from dead and decaying matter.
More trees should be planted to increase the forest cover. Trees should be selected according to the geographical conditions of a particular region and proper care should be taken during the growth of trees.
Prevention of exploitation of forestry and forest products is necessary for the conservation of forest.
The existing forests should be protected from diseases by spraying chemicals, antibiotics or development of pest-resistant strains of trees.
Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process, in which the chloroplast in plant cells convert sunlight to energy for the plant
Answer:
The process occurring in Box A is Glycolysis
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose, a six-carbon molecule is oxidized to molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon molecule with the release of ATP and electrons which are carried by NADH molecules.
The process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and requires 10 glycolytic enzymes.
The pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is first oxidized to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide molecules. The acetyl-CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle occurring in the mitochondria and are used up in the production of ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2.
The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and citric acid cycle are used in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway occurring inside the mitochondrion for transformation of oxygen molecules into water molecules with release of ATP.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The globin of the RBC is broken down into constituent amino acids that can be reutilized by the phagocytic cells (this can occur in the spleen, liver and lymph node). The chains cannot be reused in their large form. The heme(iron) is transported by the blood to the bone marrow and is used to make new red blood cells.
