The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

Which of the following abiotic factors might have an effect on how much photosynthesis can occur by the producers in an ecosyste
Evgesh-ka [11]

Abiotic factors such as temperature, water quality, air quality, soil quality, and sunlight efficiency affect the rate of photosynthesis. Thus, the correct option is D, i.e. All of the above can affect photosynthesis.

<h3>What is Photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis may be defined as a process through which green plants synthesized their own food (glucose) via carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The rate of photosynthesis primarily depends on the numerous abiotic factors which are present in a particular environment.

For example, Desert plants accomplish photosynthesis by the CAM pathway, which requires less water as compared to rainforest plants.

The maximum rate of photosynthesis occurs in the region of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), which belongs to the wavelength of 400nm-700nm.

Therefore, it is well described above.

EXPERT ANSWERS

LINDA-ALLEN | CERTIFIED EDUCATOR

Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.

An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:

There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.
