Vegetation affects the temperature of the atmosphere by changing the color of the surface of the earth, adding to sunlight reflection, altering water transpiration amounts, changing surface roughness, and . A)
changing the rate at which greenhouse gases are released from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere
B)
changing the rate at which greenhouse gases are absorbed into Earth’s surface from the atmosphere
C)
changing the rate at which sunlight is absorbed and released into the atmosphere
D)
changing the rate at which sunlight is released and absorbed into Earth’s surface

A) changing the rate at which greenhouse gases are released from Earth's surface into the environment.

Explanation: Without vegetation (For example trees) the rate at which greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are released from Earth's surface into the environment would skyrocket. Vegetation uses carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and converts it into oxygen, helping to absorb some of the greenhouse gases that would otherwise accumulate in our atmosphere. It essentially reduces the rate at which greenhouse gases are released into our atmosphere.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
