Ozone Layer

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2025) - Question Medium of Sciences

The ozone layer is a part of the Earth's stratosphere that has a high concentration of ozone (O3) and is essential for protecting life by absorbing most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Recently, studies indicate a notable rise in emissions of chemical substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which can deplete ozone and directly affect this protective barrier. Given the significance of the ozone layer for all life on Earth and the influence of human activities on it, what can we infer about the implications of ozone layer depletion for living beings?
a.
The depletion of the ozone layer has serious effects on human health, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, such as a reduction in cases of skin cancer and cataracts, alongside an increase in agricultural yield.
b.
The depletion of the ozone layer has serious effects on human health, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, such as safeguarding plants against pests and enhancing marine biodiversity.
c.
The depletion of the ozone layer has serious effects on human health, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, including increased resistance of certain plants to UV rays and faster growth of phytoplankton.
d.
The depletion of the ozone layer has serious effects on human health, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, including a rise in skin cancer and cataract cases, harm to plant growth, and disruption of the marine food web.
e.
The depletion of the ozone layer has serious effects on human health, agriculture, and marine ecosystems, including improved air quality and bolstering the human immune system.

During a scientific expedition to a remote area, a team of researchers stumbled upon a new species of mammal. They noticed that this animal has a unique trait: its ability to store substantial amounts of energy in a specific organ, akin to the human liver. Given the liver's role in our digestive system, how might this feature influence the survival of this new mammal in a setting with limited food resources? Assess the function of the liver in our bodies and how this might adapt in this animal to craft your response.

Scientific advancements have had a substantial impact on medicine, enhancing human health in various ways. A prime example of this progress is the development of antibiotics, which have been crucial in managing many bacterial infections that were once fatal. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics can give rise to resistant bacteria, making these infections tougher to tackle. With this in mind, which of the following options best describes a possible consequence of mishandling antibiotic use in our communities?

During a school outing to the Science Museum, the students looked at a model showing the different layers of the Earth: the crust, mantle, and core. While chatting about the Earth’s internal heat, one of the students asked how this heat affects the formation of volcanoes. Taking into account the features of the Earth's layers, which layer is primarily responsible for providing the heat needed for volcano formation, and why?
