How does the greenhouse effect work?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide do what the roof of a green house does. During the day the sunshines through the atmosphere. Earths surface warms up in the sunlight. At night, Earths surface cools, releasing the heat back into the air.

 
Answer 2
Answer: The greenhouse effect is when radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature higher than what it would be without its atmosphere. If a planet's atmosphere has radiatively active gases the atmosphere will radiate energy everywhere

If two mouse species tried to occupy the same niche in a meadow, the two species would be in __________, and the competitive exclusion principle would apply. One species would win out over the other, and the population of the losing species would die out. A. exclusion B. competition C. inclusion D. colonization

Answers

Answer: B. competition

Explanation:

A niche can be define as the functional role which an organism plays in an ecosystem to sustain it's life. For example, the type of food the organism eats, or type of habitat chosen.

Generally, when two species exhibit a same niche, competition for resources develop between the two species.

According to the competitive exclusion principle when two or more species compete for the same resource the one which is superior over the other receives the resources and the population of weaker species decline.

In the given situation competition will develop between the two species of mouse as they exhibit same niche and competitive exclusion principle on two mouse population will apply.

the correct answer would be b. competition

Answer:

Please, check explanation.

Explanation:

Mutation can simply be defined as the change in the genetic makeup of an individual and which then may cause a change in the phenotype of the individual.

(2). Mutation are MOSTLY harmful to organisms although some or little occurrence of mutation have been reported to be beneficial to plants.

(3). The rates of mutation varied from one gene to the other.

Asexually reproducing organisms produce offspring that are genetically identical to each other and the parents. What type of cell division are the offspring a product of?

Answers

Answer:

Binary fission.

Explanation:

Binary fission: It is known as the asexual reproduction, in which a single organism formed two independent organisms, and also defined as duplication of organisms. This starts with the replication process of DNA within the cell. Before binary fission mitochondria must have replicates its DNA.

After that, the DNA is separated into ends (alternate) of the single cell. One cell becomes two with the help of plasma membrane turns the cell apart. Then each cell is capable of all the function with fully functioning DNA molecule, and cell becomes independent organisms.

The cell membrane of a red blood cell will allow water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose to pass through. Since other substances are blocked from coming in, this membrane is called A. perforated. B. semi-permeable. C. non-conductive. D. permeable.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.

Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.

It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.

Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.

Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.

Because only certain things are allowed to pass through, this would be considered semi-permeable. B.
