The correct answer is option (d) atmosphere.
Fossil fuels are the hydrocarbons formed in the geological past, derived from the remains of dead plants and animals. They include the coal, fuel gas and the natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the greatest contributor of carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere. This results in the pollution of air in the atmosphere resulting in the formation of smog. Carbon dioxide being a green house gas, affects the atmosphere and causes green house effect leading to global warming and climate changes.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the geosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere indirectly due to its primary direct effect on the atmosphere. Thus, atmosphere is directly affected by the burning of fossil fuels.
The statement that describes the ability of the cell membrane to allow various substance to move through is that the cell membrane is preamble and allows only certain substances to pass through.
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is preamble, hydrophobic molecules and small polar molecules diffuse through lipid layer. The integral membrane proteins enable large polar molecules to pass through the membrane.
Some molecules can cross the membrane like hydrocarbons and oxygen. Whereas the large molecules like glucose and sugars cannot cross. The water pass through lipid.
The answer is they produce endospores.
Explanation:
The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.
During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.
Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.
I think, Lipogenesis is a common for organic molecules because the intermediate Acetyl-CoA is formed in most metabolic processes. Lipogenesis involves the formation of fatty acids from Acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is an intermediate stage in metabolism of simple sugars, such as glucose, which is the preferred source of energy for most living organisms.
