Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The answer to this problem is D.

Explanation:

Firstly, light from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere to reach Earth's surface and heat the planet. However, some of this light is radiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation is trapped by Earth's greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing Earth's surface to heat up. For this reason, choice D makes the most sense.

The pathway by which carbon is transferred from living organisms to the atmosphere is called:
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

cellular respiration

Explanation:

All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.

Aerobic respiration  (oxidative phosphorylation)

- Use molecular O2.

- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O

- Exergonic

- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy

- Present in most organisms.

- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.

The activation energy of a reaction is 56.9 kj/mol and the frequency factor is 1.5×1011/s. Part a calculate the rate constant of
Vanyuwa [196]

We will use Arrehenius equation

lnK = lnA  -( Ea / RT)

R = gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

T = temperature = 25 C = 298 K

A = frequency factor

ln A = ln (1.5×10 ^11) = 25.73

Ea = activation energy = 56.9 kj/mol = 56900 J / mol

lnK = 25.73 - (56900 / 8.314 X 298) = 2.76

Taking antilog

K = 15.8
