What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Greenhouse gases are compounds that are able to trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be if they were not present. These gases are mainly carbon dioxide; metahne, nitrous oxide, and flourinated gases.

2. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from animals and plants through the process of respiration and the burning of fossil fuels from industries.

Answer 2

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon, which, helps maintain the relatively stable, livable, range of temperatures that we find on earth. To better understand how this phenomenon works, scientists have used the analogy of the greenhouse. In a greenhouse, the glass (the atmosphere) allows the radiant energy (light) of the sun to enter. As the radiant energy strikes various plants, gases, and objects in the greenhouse, they heat up. Their heat is then released back into the air of the greenhouse as infrared radiation (heat). This infrared radiation cannot travel through the glass and remains inside the greenhouse, increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse. Temperatures can be controlled, or kept in balance, by allowing some of the heat to remain inside and some to be vented to the outside. Under normal conditions, the earth's atmosphere works in a similar manner. Solar radiation enters the atmosphere and heats up the air molecules, the surface of the earth, buildings, plants, and other objects. These objects in turn, radiate infrared radiation back out into the atmosphere, where some of this radiation is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, and some is radiated out into space. As some of the heat stays in the atmosphere and some escapes into spaces, a balance is maintained allowing our planet to have a relatively stable range of temperatures. Scientists believe that as the greenhouse gases become more abundant in the atmosphere, due mainly to the burning of fossil fuels, they retain more and more infrared radiation, allowing less and less to escape into space, tipping the balance toward heating up the atmosphere, resulting in a changing and warmer climate, planet-wide. This is the accelerated greenhouse effect.

Describe the effect succession has on genetic diversity

Answers

Answer:

Dispersal fundamentally influences spatial population dynamics but little is known about dispersal variation in landscapes where spatial heterogeneity is generated predominantly by disturbance and succession. We tested the hypothesis that habitat succession following fire inhibits dispersal, leading to declines over time in genetic diversity in the early successional gecko Nephrurus stellatus.

Explanation:

Answer:

There are five main elements to ecological succession: primary succession, secondary succession, pioneer and niche species, climax communities and sub-climax communities.

Primary Succession. ...

Secondary Succession. ...

Pioneer and Niche Species. ...

Climax Communities. ...

Sub-climax Communities. while Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.

Select one of the organisms to go 'extinct' or become 'endangered' from the food web shown in the diagram. Tell how the change or loss of the organism will likely affect other organisms and the environment of the ecosystem.


Please help

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes the food for the next one. The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. The next links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

When one of the links disappears, it affects the superior links as they will not have their food source. The immediately anterior link will be beneficiated, as it will not be eaten by its predator. And finally, as this last link will overgrow, it will consume greater quantities of its food, causing a decrease in its anterior link.

In the exposed example, if salmon gets extinct, the krill population will increase because they won´t be eaten by salmon. As the krill population goes up, phytoplankton will decrease, because more krill will be eating these organisms.

As salmon disappears, the cephalopod population will be affected, because salmon was one of its food sources. As cephalopods are also eaten by the puffins, these last animals will also be affected. The decrease in puffins population means that the rats' population will decrease too, as rats feed on the puffin´s eggs of puffins. Finally, foxes will be affected too, because rat´s population went down.

This is only one path affected by the extinction of the salmon. But all the animals in the trophic chain will be affected.

Answer:

Phytoplanktons.

Explanation:

This is the primary producers in this ecosystem.Its  extinction  will affect photosynthesis, and therefore oxygen and carbon availability  for  the survival of other organisms in the ecosystem.

Besides this, it is the primary producers for zooplanktons, sandlance, and krills of the food web.Therefore, its extinction  affects the survival and the population of these consumers.

Consequently, Salmon, puffin, and Cepahlopods which depended on the above three primary consumers fizzled out of the foodweb.

Eventually,rats,kitiwake,,gull auklet  population disappear with consequent reduction in the numbers of Fox.

How does negative feedback control hormone levels? **EXTRA POINTS**

Answers

Answer:

Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus elicits the release of a substance; once the substance reaches a certain level, it sends a signal that stops further release of the substance. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range.

During ages six to eleven, Freud's latency period, what do experts believe happens to the libido? A.That it is channeled into self-development B.That it is only seen in small, private groups with peers C.That it is displayed out in the open, the same as in earlier ages D.That it is hidden since most children of that age bathe and get dressed alone

Answers

Answer: A.That it is channeled into self-development

Explanation:

During the latency stage, libido is in the “do not disturb mode.” According to Freud, it is a period when sexual energy is being channeled to activities like hobbies, learning, and building social relationships.

He felt that at this stage, people develop healthy communication and social skills and the failure to move through this stage can lead to lifelong immaturity, or inability to have and maintain a healthy, happy, and fulfilling sexual and non sexual relationships when one becomes an adult.

Read the passage. The Price Isnt Always Right How much are you willing to pay for a pair of athletic shoes, a new phone, or the latest video game? We all make decisions about spending, and the companies that sell us products often follow what we as consumers tell them. If we think the price for an item is too high, we wont purchase it, and the price will probably come down. If one company can sell products for a lower price than others, then they all have to sell their products for a lower price to stay competitive. Prices can also change from one place to another. Imagine you are on vacation in New York City from Cincinnati, Ohio. If you want to buy a bottle of water while strolling through Central Park, you may be in for a shock. The same brand of bottled water you buy at home may cost twice as much in New York City. Travel to another country, and the difference in price can be even greater. Go to a store in Germany to buy a garden hose, and youll soon realize youre not at a hardware store in Kansas. In Germany, each part is sold separately. Youll have to select from a set of hoses, each more or less expensive, with the difference in price based on factors such as how thick or long or sturdy the garden hose is. And youll have to pay extra for parts like the nozzle that screws onto the hose. Once youve found all the parts you need, you could end up spending between $65 and $120 for your new garden hose! If you go to a store in the United States to buy a garden hose, the prices will also vary, but the parts will probably come attached. There will still be a wide price range, but all the pricesfrom the cheapest to the most expensivewill be much lower. Youll probably spend between $10 and $40. What accounts for this difference? Two of the biggest factors are sales taxes versus value-added taxes, and perceived value. In the United States, states need to make money to help pay for the services they provide. So they charge taxes on items sold. This is called sales tax, and is usually around 7 percent of the original cost. If the sales tax is 7 percent, and a garden hose costs $10, then youll have to pay $10.70 for the hose. One of Germany's fiscal policies is to collect taxes in many stages during the production of items. This is called value-added tax. The makers of raw materials such as rubber sell their materials to hose manufacturers, and they pay 19 percent of what they make to the government. Hose manufacturers sell their items to retail shops like hardware stores. They also pay 19 percent of what they make to the government, minus the taxes the raw material makers have already paid. The retail stores sell the hoses to people like you, and they pay 19 percent to the government, minus the taxes the raw material makers and manufacturers have already paid. These extra costs to businesses get passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices. Even with different tax costs, however, sometimes the difference in price between two places is hard to explain. It fluctuates slightly, but the price a store in Germany asks for a garden hose is probably higher than the price a store in the United States asks. The price a consumer is willing to pay for a garden hoseits perceived valueis a lot higher in Germany than in the United States. People in Germany just think a garden hose is worth more than do people in the United States. Most consumers look for the best quality item for the lowest possible price. The price theyre willing to pay is influenced by many factors, such as how much they earn at work, how much they need the item, and how much they pay for necessities such as food, clothing, and housing. These factors change so much from one place to another that its no wonder prices vary, too. This price variance could soon be changing, however. As more people gain Internet access, theyre researching item prices in other countries. Slowly but surely, the demand for cheaper garden hoses is spreading throughout Germany, and the phrase getting hosed no longer has two meanings. Question 1 Part A How does the author develop the central idea that the reasons for price variance can depend on emotions as well as logic? The author goes into factors such as consumer earnings and the price of necessities. The author analyzes two different systems of taxation. The author discusses the influence of perceived value. The author says that over time, prices for garden hoses are falling in Germany. Question 2 Part B Which sentence from the text develops the central idea? "People in Germany just think a garden hose is worth more than do people in the United States." "As more people gain Internet access, theyre researching item prices in other countries." "These extra costs to businesses get passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices." "One of Germany's...policies is to collect taxes in many stages during the production of items."
