Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
Answer:
Humans release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere through cellular respiration. This CO2 is used by plants during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. The oxygen is used by animals in order to carry out cellular respiration.

I put all I know into that so it should be right but if it isn't then I'm sorry
Answer:
a. Endocytosis involves the opsonization of a receptor and its ligand in clathrin-coated vesicles, along with the inward budding of the plasma membrane. In exocytosis, waste material is enveloped in a membrane that fuses with the interior of the plasma membrane via attachment proteins.
Explanation:
Endocytosis: entails the external binding of a ligand to its receptor which is located on the external side of the plasma membrane. The membrane buds inwardly for internalization to occur.
Exocytosis: material that has been processed inside the cell is transported by vesicles which fuse to the internal side of the plasma membrane and ultimately transported to the outside of the cell.
Answer:
Recombinant DNA
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA can be used to change the genetic makeup of a cell, as in adding a gene to make a bacterial cell produce insulin.
