Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

A secondary pollutant

Explanation:

Pollutants can broadly be classified into two main categories based on their formation or synthesis. 1: Primary pollutants, 2: Secondary pollutants.

1: Primary pollutants

Primary pollutant can be considered as any environmental pollutant that is being directly emitted from a certain source like when we burn coal carbon di oxide is directly emitted into the atmosphere so CO2 is a primary pollutant.

Similarly sulfur di oxide or SO2 is also a primary pollutant that is emitted by the gas emissions of motor vehicles.

2: Secondary pollutants:

On the other hand, secondary pollutant is something that is not directly emitted on earth as an environmental pollutant but some how it is formed due to a reaction of primary pollutant.

Such as mentioned in the question that SO2 when oxidized in air in the presence of enzymes and water, it form H2SO4 or acid rain which directly falls on earth and incurs great amount of damage to not only living organisms but also non-living organisms such as marble buildings.

Therefore, acid rain is secondary pollutant. Please see picture for better understanding.

Hope it help!

Importance of plants from an economic, nutritional, environmental and medicinal point of view
Inga [223]

Answer:

Plants are extremely important in the lives of people throughout the world. People depend upon plants to satisfy such basic human needs as food, clothing, shelter, and health care. These needs are growing rapidly because of a growing world population, increasing incomes, and urbanization .

Plants provide food directly, of course, and also feed livestock that is then consumed itself. In addition, plants provide the raw materials for many types of pharmaceuticals, as well as tobacco, coffee, alcohol, and other drugs. The fiber industry depends heavily on the products of cotton, and the lumber products industry relies on wood from a wide variety of trees (wood fuel is used primarily in rural areas). Approximately 2.5 billion people in the world still rely on subsistence farming to satisfy their basic needs, while the rest are tied into increasingly complex production and distribution systems to provide food, fiber, fuel, and other plant-derived commodities .

Medicinal plants have been used in healthcare since time immemorial. Studies have been carried out globally to verify their efficacy and some of the findings have led to the production of plant-based medicines. The global market value of medicinal plant products exceeds $100 billion per annum. This paper discusses the role, contributions and usefulness of medicinal plants in tackling the diseases of public health importance, with particular emphasis on the current strategic approaches to disease prevention. A comparison is drawn between the ‘whole population’ and ‘high-risk’ strategies. The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted.

Selective breeding

In selective breeding, the desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another organism, resulting in a new combination of genes. 
<span>The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice  to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes. </span>
