Answer:
benefits: can help reduce waste in land fills, and promotes reusability (turned into different products)
drawbacks: can be much more expensive to salvage than to just throw it in a landfill, and most of the time products cannot be recycled effectively due to its material.
The third one, it releases H+ions into a solution.
<span>Carbon must share 4 electrons total with the the two Oxygen atoms in order to fill it's outer electron shell, and each Oxygen atom must share 2 electrons with the Carbon atom to fill their electron shells. Therefore, in total 8 electrons must be shared (4+2+2=8)</span>
For changing potential energy; When you drop a book, gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Your car transforms the chemical potential energy stored in gasoline into the kinetic energy of the car's motion.
For Kinetic Energy; kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem. http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html
Normal setting:
Species Pop. size
Blue heron Medium
Perch Medium
Bass Medium
Minnows Medium
Inverts Medium
Algae Medium
If PERCH population size decreases,
Species Pop. sizeBlue heron LowPerch LowBass MediumMinnows HighInverts HighAlgae Low
As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
