What would most likely happen to the carbon cycle if all the detritivores suddenly "went on strike" and stop?
It would stop being a cycle, as more and more carbon became locked up in organic material that wasn't decaying. Eventually, the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere and seas would decrease to the point that photoautotrophic producers could no longer make sugars, and then life as we know it would end. ...that's what would happen if there weren't people, anyway. People burn stuff. I rather suspect we would burn enough to maintain the atmospheric carbon dioxide.
What is most likely to happen?
A biotechnology laboratory is conducting a research on a corn variety that has been genetically modified for insect resistance. this insect resistance results from the insertion of a gene that produces protein which interrupts the life cycle of the insect and causes its death...... what is most likely to happen if farmers decided to only grow insect-resistant corn variety. a. decrease in harvest yields b. decrease in biology diversity c. increase in agricultural pest populations d. increase in soil nutrients fields this is for my homework...can anyone help me? plz
What kind of Brexit is likely to happen?
If the European Union was a pirate ship and the referendum was a mutiny, triggering article 50 was like volunteering to walk the gangplank of a pirate ship tied to another guy, hoping that the Pirates let you back on board when you get to the end of the plank but knowing that guy you are tied to wants you to fall in the sea.We are now more than halfway down the gangplank and when we get to the end we will fall in the sea unless the Pirate's decide to be nice to us. But all the while we keep shouting denands and threats to the pirates, that is, when we are not arguing with each other.There are powerful interests in both the UK and the EU who would like negotiation to fail so that they can get a hard Brexit. After the referendum Theresa May seems to have decided that only a hard Brexit would makes sense. She knows that a soft Brexit will not satisfy either side of her party. She hoped that she could ride the massive lead in the opinion polls the Tories got after the referendum so that she could get a huge parliamentary majority and ignore these troublesome quarrelling factions and do things her way and railroad through a super hard Brexit… we all know how that went. Her fear was that without a majority her government would be weak and unstable and it is.By triggering article 50 she gave a massive advantage to the hardcore euro sceptics who want a No Deal Brexit — all they have to do is wait until time runs out. They only have to play along with the pretence that they want the government to get a deal because that way they will stay in power and we won't have an election which could see the Conservatives lose more seats and unable to form a government. They also don't want to take the blame for a No Deal Brexit.Article 50 was designed so that it would never been years because to do so would be madness.Theresa May started the process full of bravado. But halfway down the gangplank she bottled it.Triggering article 50 without any kind of plan was insane.I think when we get to the end of the gangplank we are going to fall in the sea
What is the most likely explanation for what happened to Flight MH370? Will the mystery ever be solved?
Some electrical fire in the cockpit could have triggered some series of events that would have made the Boeing 777 unflyable.An electrical fire in the cockpit could have caused the loss of transponders and communications in the aircraft. The flight crew would have turned west toward a nearby airfield before being overcome by smoke, leaving the autopilot to fly until the plane ran out of fuel and crashed, somewhere over the ocean.
What is likely to happen to a donor's cells if an rh- person who is sensitive to rh+ blood receives a transfus?
If the recipient has anti-Rh antibodies in his/her system (generally, due to a previous pregnancy or a previous transfusion), then the donor's Rh+ cells will be destroyed and the recipient will likely become extremely ill in the process. However, if the recipient has never been exposed to Rh+ blood, he/she would not have any anti-Rh antibodies yet, and probably a much milder reaction or no reaction at all will occur (it's often said that an Rh- person can receive Rh+ blood once). However, the recipient's immune system will quickly start to produce the antibodies after exposure, so if the same thing happens again, the donor cells will be destroyed and the person will become ill.
What would most likely happen if the ribosome in a cell were not functioning?

What likely happened to Otto Warmbier when he was in North Korea?
Answering on Anonymous as I travel to the DPRK on occasionHonestly there is no real way of knowing for sure what happened and the specifics will likely remain a mystery forever. If the North Koreans did torture him to the point of putting him in coma they will never admit it, and unfortunately if Warmbier does manage to wake from his coma his brain functioning and memory would be severely impaired.A lot of people are likely going to jump to the conclusion that he was tortured to the point of being put in a coma as this seems the most reasonable given what we know about North Korea. However, so far the doctors working on him haven’t found any evidence of trauma or fractures. In addition, while North Korea is known to be extremely brutal to prisoners, this brutality is usually restricted to ethnic Koreans so for the North Koreans to be so brutal to a 21 year old American tourist with no ties to Korea at all is a bit unusual. It is also in North Korea’s best benefit to make sure Warmbier remained healthy as he could have been a valuable bargaining chip and useful propaganda tool for them. At the very least, keeping him healthy would allow them to avoid an international incident.Still, it’s entirely possible that he was roughed up and tortured to some extent (although apparently not in any overly obvious way) and likely kept in horrendous living conditions where he could have contracted a serious illness, although Doctors have thrown out the Botulism explanation.The Doctors may be able to release more information that may clear up the picture a bit, however there is only so much we can get from the medical reports, especially since it’s been over a year since he went in a coma. Given the secrecy of North Korea it’s safe to say we will never get a clear answer as to what happened.
What is the biggest war that is likely to happen in the next decade?
There are 3 major possibilities in my eyes:Russia and some other country. They are a very aggressive state (it’s not necessarily their own fault either) and this could lead to a Russo-Baltic or Russo-Uzbek war, maybe even a Russo-Turkish war but what’s more likely than all of these is Ukraine being steamrolled for a second time so the Russians take Odessa.China and India. It is unlikely to happen in this decade but a conflict like this in the early 21st century could easily be the biggest conflict in generations. Some accident, misunderstanding or bold power play could turn Asia into a battle ground. If it goes on for long enough there could be serious effects on both sides and if the war is big enough in scale it’s possible India’s economy is stimulated like that of the United States in WW2.Ethiopia and Egypt. These countries argue a lot, each have populations bigger than Germany and is the conflict between them is my best bet for this answer. The reason for war is that Egypt is extremely worried that Ethiopia (where the Nile passes through) could cut off the river at any time or just disrupt water flow in general. When you remember that Egypt relies on the Nile for agriculture and water use in all forms, the cost of a new dam in Ethiopia for Egypt might be more than the cost of war.For more evidence of Egypt's reliance on the Nile, look no further than Libya. Population in North African countries relies almost solely on 2 factors, size and latitude. Or in other words, the further from the Sahara, the higher the population density. That’s why this map (showing population of countries and the places and the rough borders of the Sahara) should be terrifying for leaders of Egypt, they have nearly 100 million people in a place where water is unbelievably scarce, they should be barely able to support 2 million people, let alone another 97. That is of course, unless there was some gigantic river providing enough water to keep a population the size of Iran’s alive in a desert…You can see why the Egyptian government was then so worried when Ethiopia tried to build Dams for electricity, any disruption could easily have created the largest refugee crisis in Earth’s history. If it dried up, Egypt could transform from one of the oldest country on Earth into something much closer to Mauritania, a country so insignificant in the broader history of humanity most of you probably didn’t even know it existed.
