Answer:
Soil erosion causes siltation in rivers, dams, etc. In some areas, huge river deltas are formed (such as River Nile delta) because of soil erosion. Such places are good for agriculture but not good for urbanization. However, some people do not care about it, they just want to construct buildings on alluvium type soils.
Answer:
b) Bioremediation
Explanation:
The use of natural occuring or intentionally introduced micoorganisms to treat environmental pollutants is called as Bioremediation.
- Most of the bioremediation processes includes oxidation-reduction reaction.
- The natural degradation process of pollutants is improved by bioremediation.
- Green plant, Decomposers and their enzymes are used in bioremediation to imrprove the condition of the environment.
Answer:
- Glycine
- Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
- 3-phosphoglycerate
- Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
- Glucose
- Sucrose
Explanation:
The glycine, among other amino acids, helps to improve chlorophyll production and promotes the process of photosynthesis.
<u>Calvin cycle</u>
During the carbon fixation phase, a CO² molecule combinate with a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 6-carbonated molecules, which will divide into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.
During the reduction phase, NADPH donates its electrons to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate molecules, and turn them into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
During the regeneration phase, a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule leaves the cycle and goes to the cytosol to form glucose. This step can be done when three CO² enter the cycle and produce six glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules. One of them leaves the cycle to form glucose, while the other five are recycled.
<u>Cytosol: </u>
Once in the cytosol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used to form glucose and fructose. These two molecules are the monosaccharides that form the sucrose.
Once sucrose is formed, it is transported from the photosynthetic tissues to different parts of the plant by the phloem.
Answer:
(i) Groundnut and mustard seeds are called oilseeds because they are used to extract edible oil which are used for cooking food.
(ii) Herbivores consume only plants and plant products whereas carnivores feed on other animals only.
Explanation:
Answer:
An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further. This is when the other factors necessary for photosynthesis, such as light, become "limiting reactants"; that is, those other factors also need to increase to bring about a further increase in the rate.
six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen
An increase in the amount of water leads to the increase in the amount of photosynthesis
The amount of water available to the plant will affect the rate of photosynthesis. If the plant does not have enough water, the plant's stomata will shut and the plant will be deprived of CO², and thus lower photosynthesis rate.
An increase in the amount of light well increase the amount of photosynthesis, if the light intensity increases the rate of the reaction will increase at a proportional rate until a certain level is reached, the rate of increases will then go down.
Other factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis :
1. Temperature
2. The availability of nutrients
