The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.
Answer:
The average adult, when resting, inhales and exhales about 7 or 8 liters of air per minute. That totals about 11,000 liters of air per day. Inhaled air is about 20-percent oxygen. Exhaled air is about 15-percent oxygen.

Explanation: pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. What the pH scale measures is basically the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxyl atoms in a solution. So, the last option is the answer. Another thing to keep in mind is solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, and solutions with a pH over 7 are alkaline or considered a base. I hope this helped! Good luck:)
Answer: a-Male cones are smaller than female cones.
The cones are the characteristics of the gymnosperms plant species specifically to the Conifers. These plants exhibit naked ovules and the pollination in these cones is aided by the wind pollination. The male cones are smaller than the female cones and grows on the lower branches of the trees whereas the female cones grows on the higher branches. Each bract or scale of the male cone exhibit numerous pollen grains which are blown away by the wind and they pollinate the ovules of the female cones. Each bract or scale of female cone exhibit an ovule at the lower end. Each ovule is fertilized by the pollen to form the seed.
In McMillen and Austin’s research (1971), participants who had lied were more likely to volunteer a large amount of time.
Explanation:
The research work conducted by Mcmillen and Austin in the year 1971, included college students as participants of the research. In this process they are asked to perform a small test of intelligence. One portion of them was asked to cheat and lie and the rest were left not to cheat.
After finishing the test, the participants were asked to help the administrator to conduct the next round of test for other slot of participants. It was seen that the students who did not lie or cheat, helped them in their work for about 2 minutes. But students, who did lie, stayed and helped for 53 minutes.
