Global warming has been linked to a decrease in the

(a) rate of carbon dioxide production

(b) size of the polar ice caps

(d) rate of species extinction.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) size of polar ice caps.

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. It is due to the increase in the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others which trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere and increase the temperature causing the green house effect.

Global warming has numerous effects. A few of them have been listen below-

(1) It causes the change in the climate showing extreme weather conditions due to increase in the average temperature.

(2) It results in a higher rate of extinction of animals and causing disturbance in the ecosystem.

(3) It causes the melting of the ice caps resulting in decrease in the size of the ice caps. Arctic sea ice decline is the result of it showing increase in the sea level.

Thus, global warming results in the decrease in the size of the polar ice caps.

Which organelle would have a protein fingerprint most similar to the cell membrane?

vaieri [72.5K]

All cells have a protective covering known as cell membrane. In plants, the cell membrane is further protected by another layer called cell wall. All the organelles present inside the cells are membrane bounded structure.
Cell membranes are made up of phospholipid bilayer with extrinsic and intrinsic proteins. From the studies on the plasma membrane structure, it was found that the protein fingerprint of MITOCHONDRIA and CHLOROPLAST are most similar to the cell membrane.

The correct answer is "transmission electron microscope".

The transmission electron microscope can magnify the organelles of the cell clearly; as in light microscopes wherein most organelles cannot be visualized. TEM works by using a beam of electrons to pass through a specimen to make a clear image. Because of its superior magnification, mitochondrial defects can be visualized easily.

Attached is a sample picture of a transmission electron microscope image of a mitochondria.
