Who is to blame climate change?
Scientists have measured global temperatures for over a hundred years and see that the Earth is getting hotter. Ice core data suggests the Earth should actually be cooling if it were following its natural cycles. The trend can be best visualized by comparing each year’s average temperature with the long- term average. Figure 1 shows observations of the world’s annual average temperature made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In recent decades, the years have always been hotter.
Over geologic time, the Earth’s average temperature has changed as a result of the sun’s output, the tilt and position of the Earth in its orbit, and the concentration of greenhouse gases. Scientists have developed a good understanding of the natural variations in these factors by examining different data sources in order to estimate ancient temperatures. Observations tell us that these natural factors have not been changing over the last hundred years or so in a way that would explain the observed temperature increases.
In contrast, greenhouse gases have been changing in a way that can explain the observed temperature increases. Figure 2 shows the change in atmospheric CO2 concentration over the last thousand years. At the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in Hawaii researchers have been sampling pristine mountaintop air every month since 1958. Their observations show that both the concentration and isotopic composition of CO2 is changing, and is consistent with manmade sources, including the carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. The industrial revolution marked a drastic increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere when humans began using fossil fuels on a large scale.
Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. CO2 along with other gases are known as greenhouse gases. Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric CO2. In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

1.What were some characteristics that the finches developed to give them an advantage in surviving?

2.How do you think that the one species of finch evolved into many different species, each with its own advantages?

3. In what ways do these advantages help the finches to survive and reproduce?

4. What might have happened if the finches didn't evolve into many different species?

Answers

Answer:

1. Because the drought reduced the number of seeds and finches with bigger beaks were able to eat the larger and harder seeds so more of them survived.

2. Summary: Changes in the size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such as insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers as well as blood from iguanas, all driven by Darwinian selection

3.  Medium ground finches with larger beaks could take advantage of alternate food

4. three species of Darwin's tree finches have been known to inhabit Floreana  but no birds singing that song on Floreana have been heard in many years.

Predict the effect on shrubs growing in one area if they are treated with a compound that blocks electron flow through the electron transport chains of chloroplasts. Provide reasoning to justify your prediction.

Answers

Answer:

The shelves or die and will not be able to produce sugars. Blocking electron flow prevents the formation of the proton gradient required to produce the ATP used for sugar production.

The shrubs will die because they cannot photosynthesize. Without it, plants begin to wilt and finally die because photosynthesis requires light.

In the absence of photosynthesis, do plants die?

In essence, photosynthesis is the mechanism that powers the survival and growth of plants and even algae. The majority of plants would perish quickly if photosynthesis suddenly stopped.

Night-time is not a time when plants engage in photosynthesis. Only when exposed to the right wavelengths of artificial light during the night can plants perform photosynthesis. Light energy is absorbed with the aid of the pigment chlorophyll. Light energy is converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

What is osmoregulation?

Answers

Answer:

adalah penghijauwan kota

Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated. Osmotic pressure is a measure of the tendency of water to move into one solution from another by osmosis.[1] The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution, the more water tends to move into it. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water.

Organisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments must maintain the right concentration of solutes and amount of water in their body fluids; this involves excretion (getting rid of metabolic nitrogen wastes and other substances such as hormones that would be toxic if allowed to accumulate in the blood) through organs such as the skin and the kidneys.

What absorbs water in the digestive system

Answers

Your answer is Small Intestine.

Your small intestine makes digestive juice, which mixes with bile and pancreatic juice to complete the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Bacteria in your small intestine make some of the enzymes you need to digest carbohydrates. Your small intestine moves water from your bloodstream into your GI tract to help break down food. Your small intestine also absorbs water with other nutrients.

Can someone explain the Punnett square ?

Answers

Answer:

so in the punnet square, you hvae the 4 squares inside the big on. on top of the square, you have 2 letters, representing the dominant and the repressed genes. On one side, typically  the left, you have another two letters, again genes. to get the gene types to fill in your squares, you take the first letter of the top set and the first letter of the side set. for this example, we are going to use Bb(top) and BB(side). you would take the B from the top, and you would pu it with the B from the side. in the top left square, you should have BB. next, you go and take that same top B and do it with the second letter of the side, B again. this again gives you BB.  next, you take the second letter of the top, b, and you join it with B. in the top right square, you would write or type in Bb. Even though the b was on top, it is after the B because in this cause, it is not the dominant gene. when you do the second top and side letters together, you again get Bb.

Explanation:

the main points.

in this example, i used B to be the dominant gene and b to be the repressed/ submissive gene. you always put the dominant gene letter before the repressedmake sure you fill the squares in properly. in this one, you should have 3 BB and 1 Bb. this shows that the gene set BB is going to showwhen you fill in the squares, the first top letter and the first side letter fill in the top left square.the first top letter and the second side letter go left bottom.second top letter and first side letter go in right top.second top and second side go in right bottom.always place the dominant gene first in the punnet square.
