24. On the basis of the passage, it can be inferred that the author would agree with which of the following statements concerning technological development?
The government should own technological operations.
The effect of technological development cannot be controlled.
Some technological developments are beneficial.
The current state of technological development results in a good allocation of resources.
Applications of technological developments are criminally destructive.
The whole biosphere, like the individual organisms that live inside it, exists in a chemically dynamic state . In this homeostatic system, a great number of organic compounds are synthesized, transformed, and decomposed continuously; together, these processes constitute the major parts of the carbon cycle. For the smooth operation of this cycle, degradation is just as important as synthesis: the green plants produce great quantities of polymers, such as cellulose, and innumerable other compounds like alkaloids, terpenes, and flavonoids, that green plants cannot use as sources of energy during respiration. The release of the carbon in these compounds for recycling depends almost entirely on the action of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and certain types of fungi. Some bacteria and fungi possess the unique and extremely important biochemical asset of being able to catalyze the oxidation of numerous inert products, thereby initiating reaction sequences that produce carbon dioxide and so return much carbon to a form that actively enters into life cycles once again.
