Define and describe scarcity.​

Social Studies
1 answer:
vekshin13 years ago
7 0

Scarcity refers to the basic economic problem, the gap between limited – that is, scarce – resources and theoretically limitless wants. This situation requires people to make decisions about how to allocate resources efficiently, in order to satisfy basic needs and as many additional wants as possible.

Scarcity dictates that economic decisions must be made regularly in order to manage the availability of resources to meet human needs. Some examples of scarcity include: The gasoline shortage in the 1970's. Coal is used to create energy; the limited amount of this resource that can be mined is an example of scarcity.

Scarcity is simply the concept that human wants (not human needs) exceed the resources available that are necessary to produce the goods used to satisfy those wants. Since economics is the study of how people make choices, without scarcity there would exist no choice and, hence, no economics.

Hope this helps:)

Which part of the segment on endocrine disruptors did you find most interesting or disturbing? why? (cite details)
makvit [3.9K]

One of the most disturbing things on the endocrine disruptors would be the mutation on frogs . It is bizarre that scientists are beginning to find male frogs with ovaries , female frogs with male genitalia , and frogs with 6 legs.

The cause of this is an excess of salt in the water without an excess of the solutes. This is a case of water intoxication, and as a result of the water balance between the outside and inside of the cell, the extracellular fluid in this instance becomes diluted because the water concentration there is excessive. Water, the intracellular fluid, begins to enter the cell as a result of this.

This is the procedure of into osmosis and these are into osmosis. This balances the concentration of solutes on the two sides of the cell. This intracellular fluid exists as a result. These likewise deteriorate and, in the end, hyponatremia is the result. This is a fatal condition for people and other living things because the sodium content in the blood is lower than usual in this case.
