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.

The first thing to do is activate EMS. Use cool or cold water to cool the burn for 10 minutes as soon as possible. ( Do not use ice or frozen compress.) Early cooling will minimize the depth of injury and decrease pain. Remove jewelry near the affected area. Cover the injury with dry,  clean pad loosely to protect it. Do not give food or drink to injured person. Keep him comfortable until EMS arrives and takes over.

Anna [14]

The basic components (depedent and indepedent variables) are the plants and altitude while the confounding variable is the 20 story building. Confounding variables affect the experiement variable and are mainly outside of the researcher’s control in the experiment.  Ray cannot change the building but this variable can affect the depedent and indepedent variables and cause distorted or spurious results.

Humans and hogs have differences in only 1 out of the 51 amino acids in their insulin proteins. Hogs and guinea pigs have differ
balu736 [363]

Humans are more closely related to hogs than hogs are to guinea pigs.

Explanation:

The difference in the amino acid sequence of a protein is used to know the  relation between organism i.e. how closely they are related.

It is known that proteins are the result of DNA sequence ie genes of the organism.

The gene or protein is compared between organisms to understand the evolutionary evidence and similarities between them.

The less is the difference the more is the two organisms closely related as in the case of hog and human which have only 1 amino acid difference in their insulin enzyme. While guinea pig is having  a difference of 17 amino acids so it is expected to be distantly related.

These relations helps the scientist to resolve the issues of crisis say insulin. They zero out the possibility of extracting the enzyme genes of possible organism and increase the yield.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

See the explanation below, what is the question you intend to ask anyway?

Explanation:

  • Meiosis transmit traits from one generation to the next. It the  key process that brings genetic variation into the traits that offspring inherit from their parents.  In the life cycle of an organism, meiosis is paired with the process of fertilization.
  • Meiosis produces two daughter nuclei with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell as each other.The chromosomes are re-grouped during meiosis to form new combinations of genes. Genetic reunion is very important as a source of genetic variation.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

A red blood cell, sitting in the right atria of the heart is chocolate-brown in color since its a deoxygenated red blood cell with carbon dioxide rather than oxygen in its hemoglobin.

 

First

The tricuspid valve pumps it through the right ventricle

Secondly

pulmonary valve pumps it from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

Then

In the alveoli of the lungs, gas exchange occurs during pulmonary circulation

The end product is oxyhemoglobin( bright red colour) I.e oxygenated blood

The next step

pulmonary veins is the means whereby the red blood cell go to the left atria from the pulmonary circulation through the aortic valve

to mitral valve then to the aorta and systemic circulation

Therefore

oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide during systemic circulation indicating a end to cellular respiration

Lastly

It's transported back to the right atrium of the heart completing the cardiac cycle.
