Biomass is a renewable source of energy. I'd say coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following best describes the long-term impact of using a nonrenewable energy source?

A: Geothermal energy can disrupt the water table and harm water supplies.  B: Nuclear power damages the atmosphere by producing air pollution.  C: Burning biomass to produce energy releases greenhouse gases.  D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants."

Answer:

D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants.

Explanation:

The use of non-renewable energy has proven to be a strong pollutant of ecosystems and biomes. Coal mining is an example of how the use of non-renewable energy degrades nature.

The environmental impacts of mining are diverse and varying in scale: from specific local problems to major biological, geomorphological, water and atmospheric changes. Therefore, knowing these problems and minimizing their effects is of great necessity to ensure the preservation of natural environments.

Coal mining can pollute the water supply and kill fish and aquatic plants. Not to mention the degradation of soil and vegetation that this activity promotes.

Why does Tupperware blow its top in the microwave?
sergeinik [125]
The heat inside the Tupperware causes an increase in pressure and when enough pressure builds, the atoms need somewhere to go and the seal at the top is easiest to break, so the top blows off.<span />

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer is : C, increase the surface to allow more space for ATP synthesis.

As it produces large amounts of ATP through oxidative metabolism of pyruvates, which are produced by glycolysis. The main job of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration.  This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy.  This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions. Each cell contains a different number of mitochondria The number present is dependent upon how much energy the cell requires.  The more energy a cell needs the more mitochondria that will be present. Cells have the ability to produce more mitochondria as needed.  They also can combine mitochondria to make larger ones. The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP),  through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism.The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known  as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle. However, the mitochondrion has many other functions in addition to the production of ATP.
