Answer:

Water pollution may be defined as the contamination of the unwanted substance or pollutant with water that changes the normal characteristics of water. Three main contributors of ground water are as follows:

Chemical farming: The use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields and its direct run off in river and groundwater causes the water pollution.

Industrial waste: The industrial waste consists of harmful chemicals and heavy metals. The direct discharge of chemical waste in the lakes, ground water and ponds makes the water dirty and causes water pollution.

Effluent from waste water treatment plant: The effluent and the harmful chemical waste release from the waste water treatment plant is the major contributor to the ground water. The effluents mix with the ground water and changes the ground water property.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Decrease in burning of fossil fuels will affect carbon cycle the most. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carbon compounds circulate within the biosphere as part of carbon cycle.  In terrestrial ecosystems Plants acquire carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and in aquatic ecosystems plankton absorb carbon dioxide.  

Dead plants bodies deposited underground for a large number of years get converted to fossil fuels and the burning of these fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere through processes like respiration and decomposition of dead organic matter. If burning of fossil fuels is decreased it will be the carbon cycle which will be affected the most.

Can someone help? Describe the ADP molecule and its function within a cell.
iogann1982 [59]
<span>The function of an ADP, or Adenosine diphosphate molecule, is to assist in the flow of energy throughout the cell. The basic structure of the molecule itself is made up of three main parts - a sugar backbone, which is attached one adenine molecule and two phosphate groups, which is then bonded to a 5' carbon atom of ribose. </span>
