Q1

Why is it important to understand why carbon cycles through the ecosystems?

[removed] A.Because carbon is an essential element in all organic materials, and it is released into the atmosphere as a waste product of combustion, in the form of CO2, affecting global climates.

 

[removed] B.Because carbon is an essential element, and it is released into the atmosphere as carbonic acid, which contributes to acid precipitation

 

[removed] C.Because carbon is an essential element, and it is released into the atmosphere in the form of CO2, which is a primary ozone-depleting agent

  [removed] D.Because carbon is an essential element in organic materials, and it is released into the atmosphere by plants, during photosynthetic activities

  Question 4 of 10

10.0 Points

Considering that there are other more powerful greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, why did CO2 gained so much attention in the past decades?

[removed] A.Because CO2 levels have dropped about 50ppm in the last century, in which time the average global temperatures increased by 1º C, and numerous studies indicate strong correlations between the two events

 

[removed] B.Because anthropogenic CO2 levels into the atmosphere have risen almost 70ppm in the last century, in which time the average global temperatures increased by 1º C, and numerous studies indicate strong correlations between the two events .

 

[removed] C.Because, among the greenhouse gasses, CO2 is the only compound that is strictly linked to life on earth.

 

[removed] D.Because CO2 is the most stable greenhouse gas, and numerous studies indicate strong correlations between this instability and its high UV ray reflectivity   

 

Q5

Plants remove carbon from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. During this process, CO2 is converted into sugar, and makes up ______% of the glucose molecule.

[removed] A.50

 

[removed] B.30

 

[removed] C.45

 

[removed] D.40  

   

 

Question 6 of 10

10.0 Points

How many kilograms of carbon are stored in a 160 kilograms log?

[removed] A.72

 

[removed] B.80

 

[removed] C.23

 

[removed] D.56

   

 

Question 7 of 10

10.0 Points

To how many kilograms of CO2 do 5 kilograms of dried tree correspond?

 

[removed] A.10.03

 

[removed] B.4.75

 

[removed] C.8.25  

  [removed] D.6.32

Question 8 of 10

10.0 Points

In the lab activity, why is the allometric equation important to us?

 

[removed] A.Because it enables us to identify the photosynthetic efficiencies, determining the amount of CO2 processed by each individual tree

 

[removed] B.Because it allows us to calculate the biomass of a tree by measuring only the diameter of the trunk at the base

 

[removed] C.Because it compensates for the human errors resulted during the measuring stage

 

[removed] D.Because it allows us to measure the biomass of a tree using only one instrument, making the overall plot measurements fast and effective  

 

Question 9 of 10

10.0 Points

If the average biomass of a 10m x 10m plot is 2057 kg, how much carbon is stored in the plant tissues?

[removed] A.1,045.32 kg

 

[removed] B.734.28 kg

 

[removed] C.578.34 kg

  [removed] D.925.65 kg

 

Question 10 of 10

10.0 Points

If the amount of carbon stored in the plant tissues of a certain plot is 5734 kg, how much CO2 has that plot removed from the atmosphere?

[removed] A.21,043.78 kg of CO2

 

[removed] B.10,467.22 kg of CO2

 

[removed] C.34,295.64 kg of CO2

 

[removed] D.9,232.25 kg of CO2

You are going to complete several meteorological tests using a large weather balloon. You wish to check the temperature at 3000 meters altitude. You want to make sure the balloon will not burst before it reaches this height. Some calculations are needed. Knowing that the balloon manufacture guarantees the balloon up to 60.0 Liters in size. Will the balloon make it to the necessary height without bursting? The temperature at ground level is 20 C. The pressure is 755 mm hg. The volume of the balloon prior to release is 44.8 Liters. It is filled with helium which is lighter than air. For both calculation you will be using PV =nRT show all work for any credit

The strands need certain nutrients in order to grow and  

Regen Regrowth  remain healthy. Vitamin A helps the scalp function properly and prevents it from becoming dry and flaking. This is important since dandruff can cause excessive shedding.Vitamin B is another thinning hair treatment because it helps the body produce enough protein to nourish the strands. 

Vitamin E is a thinning hair treatment which increases circulation and blood flow to the scalp. This helps to make sure that the strands receive the vitamins minerals and nutrients they need. The blood transports these nutrients to the roots where the strands are fed.Herbal Thinning Hair Treatment Options Certain herbs are helping some people reverse male pattern baldness. This condition is associated with the production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which prevents the follicles from receiving the nourishment they need in order to function. As a result the strands start to fall out.

If you are shedding strands excessively it is important for you to carefully select a product to cleanse your strands with. The hair is most vulnerable when it is wet. Some products are made with strong chemicals which can be very harsh on the strands. These chemicals strip away natural oils and proteins from the strands making them weak and vulnerable to breakage. There are hair loss shampoos available which were specifically designed to prevent excessive shedding and stimulate growth.

A condition known as androgenic alopecia is the most common cause of thinning hair for both women and men. Also known as male or female pattern baldness this condition is linked to the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a hormone women produce in their ovaries and men produce in their testicles.DHT is formed when an enzyme known as 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into DHT. DHT blocks the flow of blood to the scalp. This prevents important nutrients from reaching the roots where the strands are fed. The lack of nutrition weakens the follicles causing the strands to fall out.
