Answer:
c. The founder of the modern environmental movement and author of Silent Spring is Rachel Carson
d. Deciduous trees such as most pines do not lose their leaves/foliage in winter.
Explanation:
Yes, Rachel Carson is the founder of the modern environmental movement as well as author of Silent Spring. She was an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist which started the modern environmental movement in order to save the environment form pollution. Yes, the Deciduous trees such as most pines do not lose their leaves/foliage in winter, they only lose those leaves that are too old. They are considered as evergreen plants.
Explanation:
<h2>It is interesting to note that CO2 is still believed to be the No 1 greenhouse gas instead of water vapour. Many excellent climate scientist (e.g. Richard Lindzen, Roy Spencer, John Christy, etc) have dealt with the issue and shown both in books and research articles that CO2 is a very minor player governing global climate.</h2><h2>So what drives climate?</h2><h2>The answer must obviously be found in the hydrological cycle, where the oceans play a major role together with extraterrestrial process with the Sun having the ultimate role. We know that solar energy (insolation) does not vary sufficiently to explain the climatic excursion our planet has experienced on a short and long term. It is sufficient to consider the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period, not mentioning the past ice ages, to understand that there are many complicated factors to consider before we can explain climate variability.</h2><h2>Solar activity is naturally a major player but this does not mean only total solar insolation (TSI) but also solar magnetic activity. Also the gravitational influence of the entire solar system must be taken in account, not forgetting our own natural satellite, the Moon, influencing at least ocean tides. Very interesting views on climate variability and cosmic activity have been presented by Henrik Svensmark.</h2><h2>A very simplistic example how the water cycle could adjust climate is the following mental construct: The Sun warms the ocean surface increasing evaporation. Increase in water vapour content decreases the density of the air, which thus rises to higher altitudes where eventually adiabatic cooling reaches a level where water vapour starts to condense. The availability of condensation nuclei, possibly enhanced by high energy cosmic radiation especially during low level solar magnetic activity, leads to strong cloud formation. This eventually limits solar warming of the ocean surface and decreases evaporation with less cloud formation. This entire cycle can be compared to a very effective thermostat, by some aptly termed the water thermostat responsible for keeping global temperatures at a suitable level depending on local conditions</h2>

Answer:
Herbivore that feeds on producers
Explanation:
The producers are plants at the bottom of the food web. These are eaten by herbivores, that are the primary consumers.
Herbivores themselves are consumed by carnivores, which are secondary consumers.
Sometimes, these carnivores can be consumed by top predators, like a shark, snake or eagle.
<u>Options and why they are right/wrong</u>
Carnivore that feeds on producers - carnivores do not feed on producers
Herbivore that feeds on producers - this is correct
Herbivore that feeds on primary consumers - primary consumers are animals and herbivores do not eat animals
Carnivore that feeds on primary consumers - this would be a secondary consumer
