Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its ability to survive in the desert or periods of drought. Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

One of these threats is the "over-collection of cacti." Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
Another threat is the number of pests, such as snails and slugs, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.
People often misunderstand the cactus' water level needs. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.

How to zoos affect the nitrogen cycle

SpyIntel [72]

As humans change the way we live on the planet, the way that nitrogen moves around the Earth also changes. Nitrogen atoms may seem small enough to be easily overlooked. We look right through the ones in the air, do we not? Yet recent changes in the nitrogen cycle are causing a very noticeable effect on natural environments and human health. Lakes are clogged with aquatic weeds. Dead zones have formed in areas of the oceans where animals can not survive. Air pollutants that contain nitrogen are decreasing air quality and greenhouse gases that contain nitrogen are becoming more common.

What role does natural light exposure during the day play in improving sleep? it helps to regulate circadian rhythm. it discoura

yuradex [85]

Answer: It helps to regulate circadian rhythm

Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate the circadian rhythm, which improves sleep pattern. The term circadian rhythm refers to our biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes in approximately 1 full day cycle. Circadian rhythm plays an important role in controlling when we fall asleep and when we wake up.

During day light, the secretion of melatonin or sleep hormone is suppress by melanopsin that keeps people awake and alert. Nevertheless, during nighttime, melanopsin stimulates the release of melatonin to signal sleeping time. Therefore, this hormone works the entire day and has direct effect on the circadian rhythm, which acts as a regulator of our biological clock.
