Answer: C.  Dead snake fossilizing underground.

A fossil fuel is the fuel that is formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of dead plants and animals underground. These organisms and their remains remain deep inside the depth of numerous layers of soil resulting in fuel produced after millions of years. A carbon sink refers to a natural or artificial reservoir that stores and absorbs atmospheric carbon by physical and biological process. The formation of fossil fuel inside the earth is carbon sink.  

Dead snake will be added as a matter on which biological activity called as decomposition will take place. The organic matter of dead snake will be decomposed by microbes in the soil. The organic matter being the source of carbon, after decomposition will become the reservoir of carbon in the form of fossil fuel.

Therefore, dead snake fossilizing underground is the example of carbon source becoming a carbon sink.

Answer:

Dr. Siddiqui asks you what you think is wrong with Angela. What is your diagnosis? (Note: do not simplysay hyper- or hypothyroidism; that portion of the question was already answered above. Explain in detailwhy/how you came up with the diagnosis. Include the evidence that led you to this diagnosis.

Judging from Angela’s results, she has Serum thyroxine, Thyrotropin, and SerumTriiodothyronine hormones to be missing. This will cause Hypothyroidism results due to failure of the thyroid gland to produce sufficient hormones.

Angela does not have a goiter at the moment. If her condition continues unchecked will she develop one?Why or why not? Make sure you include information from Angela’s blood work results to back up yourresponse.

Technically, a goiter can develop in a gland that is developing high level of hormone (hyperthyroidism), and low level of hormone (hypothyroidism), or the certain amount of hormone (euthyroidism) needed.

In Angela’s situation, her TSH concentration and thyroid hormones are at a reduced level. This will cause, the pituitary gland in the brain to produce a signal to the thyroid. Thus, her condition should be well observed all through the period till her conditions return to the way it ought to be normally.

Juliette [100K]

The correct answers are options:

It insulates the complex in the winter.

It provides passive cooling in the summer.

The Fusionpolis is a building present in the Singapore. The building is covered by the spine vegetation. The spine vegetation is well known for the insulation against the heat, this makes them best for maintaining the temperature in the building. These spines provide the insulation in the winters, when the outside atmosphere is too cold, and in summers, the transpiration of the spines help in cooling down the temperature of the building.

Choose a plant or animal that you think is interesting. describe some of the threats or challenges
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its <em>ability to survive in the desert </em>or<em> periods of drought.</em> Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

  • One of these threats is the <em>"over-collection of cacti." </em>Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
  • Another threat is the number of pests, such as <u>snails</u> and<u> slugs</u>, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for<em> mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.</em>
  • People often misunderstand the <u>cactus' water level need</u>s. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.
