Answer:

plastic

Explanation:

According to research by The Guardian, the US generates 34.5 million tons of plastic a year. Only 9% is recycled, with the remainder being exported to developing countries, which do not have the ability to properly manage their own plastic waste when it comes to waste from the US.

Among the waste generated by the US, plastic is the least recycled. This is a serious problem as it causes waste to accumulate in the wild and can destroy natural ecosystems and habitats.

Answer: 3,240,000‬ L

Each tree requires 20 L of water per day for 180 days.

Suppose a fox in a food web feeds only on rabbits, squirrels, mice and birds, all of which feed exclusively on plant material. A
Illusion [34]

Answer:

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = 3650 m²

Explanation:

From the given information:

the daily caloric requirement of the fox = 800  

In a year, we have = 800 kcal × 365 /year = 292,000 kcal/year

Also, only 10% of the energy at a particular trophic level can be passed onto the next.

the net productivity of the plant material = 8000 kcal/m²/yr

So, using 10% of energy at a particular level, the fox only need 80 kcal/m²/yr

The objective is to determine in square meters, how many materials are required to support the fox.

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = \dfrac{292,000}{80}

= 3650 m²
