The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, is responsible for filtering most of the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the Sun. Its role is crucial in protecting life on Earth, as excessive exposure to this radiation can cause serious damage to the skin and contribute to the development of skin cancer. However, the action of chemicals released into the atmosphere, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has led to a process of ozone layer depletion, making it thinner and less efficient. Considering this context, answer: 1. Explain what CFCs are and how they are related to the destruction of the ozone layer. 2. Discuss the possible consequences for the planet if the depletion of the ozone layer continues at the current rate, considering the interactions between the ozone layer and the different terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

Sometimes we can see people who eat a lot or very little and realize they are not healthy. This may be a sign that they have an eating disorder, such as obesity, which is when a person is overweight from consuming more food than their body needs. On the other hand, anorexia is a disorder in which the person is afraid of gaining weight and eats very little, which can harm their health. People with these disorders need help to learn how to have a balanced and healthy diet. Thinking about taking care of our body, write about what a balanced diet is and why it is important to maintain our health. Then, explain how families, schools, and governments can help children and adults learn to eat healthily and avoid eating disorders such as obesity and anorexia.
