There are many different reasons for species becoming extinct: 

<span>- They may be hunted to extinction by predators. See the Dodo for more information on this. </span>

<span>- Their have to compete with 'foreign' species for food or habitat. This happens on many small islands when new predators are introduced. See rats and cats introduced to Hawaii by sailors. </span>

<span>- They may require very specialised living conditions which dissapear due to a changing environment. </span>

<span>- Disease or inbreeding reduces their numbers to unsustainable levels. </span>

<span>- An outside event may create a catastrophic situation. See the meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. </span>

<span>It matters because we are all part of the Earth's ecosystem. Imagine all plants and animals on earth linked together in a giant 'web'. Plants are eaten by insects. They are then eaten by larger animals which are in turn eaten by humans. As humans we are at the top of the food chain so may not notice too much as we can eat a lot of different foods. However other may animals depend on very specific prey. Extinction of a species is like removing a section from the 'web'. It has a knock-on effect on everything linked to it. </span>

<span>Also from a different viewpoint, biodiversity (many different species) of the Earth makes the place interesting. It may not affect our ability to survive if species become extinct, but the world would become a lesser place and slightly less entertaining.</span>

liq [111]

Answer:

pulmonary circuit,  systemic circuit

Explanation:

The circulatory system consists of 2 circuits -

pulmonary circuit

systemic circuit.                  

The pulmonary circuit carries deoxygenated blood. The right auricle receives the impure blood by superior and inferior vena cava, then the blood enters the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, the deoxygenated blood moves to the lungs by the pulmonary artery.

In the lungs, the deoxygenated blood gets oxygenated and enters the left ventricle through pulmonary veins. The pureblood then passes into the left ventricle and then the ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to different parts of the body. This blood passes to the body aways from the heart by aorta. When the blood gets deoxygenated, it again enters the right auricle. In this way, double circulation occurs and both types of blood do not mix together.

KATRIN_1 [288]
I think the correct answer would be C. It would be restricting water and/or nutrients, instead of supplying ample quantities of both that would not change the results of the experiment. This is because you are still supplying the same amount of nutrients and other things needed by the plant so the ratio of the growth of the plants will still be the same.
