Answer:

The UN projects that the global population increases from a population of 7.7 billion in 2019 to 10.9 billion by the end of the century. By that time, the UN projects, fast global population growth will come to an end.

Beneath the global level, there are of course, big differences between different world regions and countries. While in some regions the world population will likely grow rapidly for the coming decades other regions will continue to see declining population numbers.

Global population growth is determined by the number of births and deaths. Improving health is increasing the size of the population as it is decreasing mortality. The countervailing trend are falling fertility rates – the trend of couples having fewer children is what brought rapid population growth to an end in many countries already, and what will bring an end to rapid population growth globally.

The global population growth rate has already slowed down considerably: It reached its peak at over 2% in the late 1960s and has been falling since.

The UN projections for the global population growth rates, which have been produced since the 1950s, have a good track record in projecting the size of the global population.

While the UN projections are most widely know there are other very carefully produced projections. The demographers of WC-IIASA model what will happen according to different scenarios and make clear that the population growth rate tomorrow depends on what we do today. Rapid progress in getting children and especially girls into schools will result in a much smaller global population.

The biggest disagreement between different projections is concerning the future of Africa. While the UN projects a 3.5-fold increase of the population of Africa, other researchers find a much smaller increase more likely.

The light would be best described as AN UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS.
An unconditioned stimulus refers to any stimulus which naturally evokes a response from the affected person. The response that is evoked is termed unconditioned response. In the question given above, the light is the unconditioned stimulus while the blinking is the unconditioned response.<span />

Describe how the DNA in a cauliflower plant is similar to and different from the DNA in Brussels sprouts.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Cabbage is a different story. Per capita consumption of it peaked way back in the 1920s, when the average American ate 22 pounds of it per year. Nowadays, we eat about eight pounds, most of it disguised as cole slaw or sauerkraut.

This makes it pretty interesting that kale and cabbage — along with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, and kohlrabi, and several other vegetables — all come from the exact same plant species: Brassica oleracea.

In some circles, kale has become really, really popular. Once a little-known speciality crop, its meteoric rise is now the subject of national news segments. Some experts are predicting that kale salads will soon be on the menus at TGI Friday's and McDonald's.

4. Which of the following elements does not want to have eight valence electrons? a. magnesium c. hydrogen b. oxygen d. nitrogen
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Hydrogen.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element that exists. The symbol for the chemical element Hydrogen is "H" and it is a colourless, tasteless, odorless, and highly flammable gas.

Hydrogen is a chemical element found in group (1) of the periodic table and as such it has one (1) electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, Hydrogen has an atomic number of one (1) and a single valence electrons because it has only one proton and one electron in its nucleus.

Based on the octet rule which states that atoms of chemical elements gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight (8) electrons in their valence shell. Therefore, atoms of chemical elements bond in order to attain the electronic configuration of a noble gas i.e a full valence shell which comprises of eight (8) electrons.

However, the chemical element "Hydrogen" is an exception to the octet rule because it is only able to hold a maximum of two (2) valence electrons in its outermost shell to become full.

<em>Hence, Hydrogen is an element which does not want to have eight valence electrons. </em>
