Answer:

The nitrogen cycle

Explanation:

With these activities, a surplus of fixed nitrogen is produced every year, which increases the levels of nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere. High levels of atmospheric nitrogen, other than N2 are associated with harmful effects, such as the production of acid rain in the form of nitric acid, and greenhouse gases, in the form of nitrous oxide,

In addition, excess fertilizer can reach rivers, lakes and streams through surface runoff. One of the main effects of fertilizer runoff is water eutrophication by reducing the availability of oxygen in the water

NeTakaya

Desmosomes

Desmosomes are cell junction that acts as anchors and distributes tension through a cellular sheet and reduces the chance of tearing when it is subjected to great mechanical stress.


Desmosomes are cell structure by which two adjacent cells are joined. Desmosomes are specialized for cell to cell contact and strong adhesion. The inactiveness of desmosomes can lead to diseases of the skin and heart. Desmosomes are found in tissue that undergo high mechanical stress, such as bladder tissue, epithelial, and cardiac muscle tissue.

deforestation the chopping down of large numbers trees for human use is considered to have a negative impact on climate change.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the environment for photosynthesis. Because trees are large, they need a lot of energy, which likely results in a lot of carbon dioxide being removed from the air. If they’re chopped down, there will be fewer trees to remove the extra carbon dioxide from the air.

Answer:

Adaptations to a common environment and examples of convergent evolution

Explanation:  

Convergent evolution is a process by which two independent and phylogenetically separated organisms, get to develop similar structures or behavior to survive. These structures make possible a better performance in a similar environment. These organisms are morphologically or ethologically similar in their whole bodies or just in parts.  

Convergent evolution occurs in different phylogenetic branches independently from each other. It results from the need of different organisms to adapt to a similar environment and to solve a problem from that particular ecological niche. Ecological pressures acting on them might be similar, modeling the organisms´ phenotype. Each evolutive branch ends by developing the same structures, which they both find effective in their environment.  

In the exposed example, Ichthyosaurs (reptile) and fishes are separated species on evolutive time, corresponding to different phylogenetic lineages. Both of them inhabit the same aquatic environment. Pressures of the habitat acted on them and modeling their phenotypes. These species need to adapt to living in water, moving, feeding, scaping, chasing, etc. So both species arrived at the same solution. They developed dorsal fins and tails, which are important to stabilize the body in the water while swimming, making it more hydrodynamic and getting to propel better.
