A utility company has proposed building a natural gas power plant next to a lake. The picture below shows the proposed power plant. The company claims burning natural gas will release only harmless gases such as water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Why would environmental scientists disagree with this claim?

A
The emission of carbon dioxide leads to rapid cooling of the Earth’s lakes and oceans.

B
The emission of carbon dioxide leads to an increase in the temperature of the atmosphere.

C
The emission of water vapor leads to a decrease in the humidity of Earth’s atmosphere.

D
The emission of water vapor pollutes the atmosphere, causing harm to plants and animals.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
