Consider the global 'Greenhouse Effect", where thermal energy from the sun is naturally trapped by 'greenhouse gases' present within the Earth's atmosphere. A majority of heat generated from this process is then absorbed by the world's oceans, where it is sequestered and stored. What are some of the predictable consequences recently observed over the past 40-50 years with the observed rise in Global Mean Temperature, correlate with an increase in greenhouse gas emissions from burning of fossil fuels across that same period?
a. retreat of winter and summer sea ice, decreasing the amount of solar energy directly absorbed into the oceans
b. warming of deep ocean water and increased evaporation at the surface
c. warming of oceanic surface temperatures, driving the formation of more powerful hurricanes & rainstorms
d. thermal expansion of oceanic water, leading to mean global sea level rise
e. melting of Himalayan glaciers and collapse of Antarctic ice shelves into the sea

The small molecule cyclic amp (camp) takes about 0.2 second to diffuse 10 ÎĽm, on average, in a cell. suppose that camp is produced near the plasma membrane on one end of the cell; how long will it take for this camp to diffuse through the cytosol and reach the opposite end of a very large cell, on average? assume that the cell is 200 ÎĽm in diameter.
