What chemicals regulate the cell cycle how do they work?
Molodets [167]
Cyclins are the chemicals that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins work by regulating the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cell. Cyclins activates cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) (an enzyme that works by adding <span>negatively charged phosphate groups to other molecules in a process called phosphorylation) by binding to it to form a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then functions by acting as a signal to the cell to move to the next cell cycle phase. At the end of the event, the cyclin is degraded, Cdk is deactivated, therefore signaling exit from a specific phase.</span>

What evidence supports the argument that human activities are causing major changes global systems?
Nata [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Humans are one of the most powerful biotic factors. Human  activities have had great influence on the distribution of other organisms. The use of aerosols and industrial chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons which are residual and persistent can cause depletion of the ozone layer. This results in harmful radiations from the sun reaching the earth's surface.

Excessive production of CO2 by the industries and removal of vegetation like the trees results in the accumulation of CO2 in the lower atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect which results in global warming.

Radioactive emission from nuclear reactors, mine and radioactive wastes causes cancer, mutations and even death.
