How does the destruction of forests contribute to levels of atmospheric carbon?
a. levels of atmospheric carbon are unaffected by destruction of forests, because the carbon entering the carbon cyclefrom the dead trees balances out the loss of carbon absorption during photosynthesis.
b. when trees are destroyed, their stored carbon reenters the carbon cycle decreasing levels of atmospheric carbon.
c. fewer trees leads to greater amounts of carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.
d. fewer trees leads to smaller amounts of carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.?

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.

Which characteristics are typical of a human population in the postindustrial stage?
