3. Rank the marine biomes from those with the lowest rates of net primary production to those with the highest

a. Group of answer choices

b. upwelling regions

c. high latitude waters

d. subtropical gyres

e. continental shelf waters

f. Deep oceans

4. Rank the following from low to high based on the total contribution they make to the Earth’s average temperature?

a. Methane

b. Carbon Dioxide

c. Nitrous Oxide

d. Water Vapor

Expert Solution

ANS (4)-Green house gases---> In the environment the gases that trap the heat emitted from the sun is called greenhouse gases. By trapping the amount of heat these gases lead to an increase in the temperature of the earth.

RANK ACCORDING TO THE CONTRIBUTION IN MAINTAINING EARTH AVERAGE TEMPERATURE	GREENHOUSE GASES	EXPLANATION FOR GASES
1st (Highest contribution)	Water vapor	Water vapor came on the highest rank that contributes to maintaining the temperature of the earth, In the warming effect on earth, its contribution is highest at about 60%of total..
2nd(high after water vapor contribution )	Carbon dioxide	Carbon dioxide came on 2nd rank, the emission of CO2 occurs because of the burning of fossil files such as coal and oil. In the warming effect on earth, its contribution is about 25%.less from water vapor.
3rd(low contribution)	Methane	Methane came on 3rd rank, its emission occurs at the time of producing and transporting coal, natural gases, and oil, The majority of CO2 amount is absorbed by plants because of the carbon cycle.came after carbon dioxide.
4th(Lowest contribution)	Nitrous oxide	Nitrous oxide came on 4th rank, its emission occurs at the time of industrial and agricultural activity in which fossil fuel and solid waste combustion occur and also the emission occurs at the time of wastewater treatments by the municipal corporation. It has the lowest contribution among these 4 greenhouse gases.

(Select all correct answers; one or more than one answer may be correct.) In cases of renal failure, plasma (extracellular) concentrations of K+ may increase from normal levels of 4-5 mM to 10 to 12 mM. From what you know of the effects of increasing extracellular K+ on the membrane potential (EK = RT/zF x ln[Ko/Ki) and the effects of membrane potential on the HCN channel (hint, remember what H stands for), you would expect the increased extracellular concentration of...
