Answer:
<u>Living things are derived from single units and show several characteristics such as growth respiration, response to stimuli, homeostasis, evolution, and reproduction.</u>
Explanation:
The natural world comprises several biotic or living and abiotic, non-living factors. Cells, are considered the smallest unit capable of supporting life. All living, or biotic factors must be able to grow, carry out respiration- a process that produces energy, and reproduce (pass on genes). They also show some level of organization or complexity, and respond to stimuli. Additionally, living organisms exhibit homeostasis or control over their internal environment and evolve or change over time to adapt to their external environments.
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects. (Such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies)
Answer:
Both cones and rods participate in dark adaptation, slowly increasing their sensitivity to light in a dim environment. Cones adapt faster, so the first few minutes of adaptation reflect cone-mediated vision.
Answer:
1. primary cause of human-created carbon emissions = burning fossil fuels
2. destroys natural carbon sinks leading to more carbon dioxide in the air = deforestation
3. emits methane from decomposing matter = waste disposal in landfills
Explanation:
1. "Fossil fuels" are <em>nonrenewable resources</em> that are considered essential for the operation of many factories and industries. <em>Burning them accounts for most of the carbon emissions on Earth</em>, and this leads to<em> "global warming."</em>
2. "Forests" are considered "carbon sinks" because they have a role of <u><em>absorbing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere</em></u>. Cutting down the trees (deforestation) makes forests barren. It then leads to more carbon dioxide in the air.
3.<em> Waste disposals in landfills contribute to the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere.</em> Methane is considered a <em><u>potent greenhouse gas</u></em> that affects people's health.
