Answer:
increased; almost 100%
Explanation:
The peppered moth witnessed a change in its color and the number at the end of the eighteenth century. The reason behind this was the Industrial Revolution that led to an increase in air pollution. With the increase in air pollution, the dark-colored moths increased in the number. Later, when air pollution decreased, the light-colored moths started to predominate. It was in 1895 that the number of dark-colored moths increased to the maximum.

Answer:
C3 plants would have faster growth rates; C4 plants would be minimally affected.
Explanation:
C3 and C4 pathways are the variations of dark reactions of photosynthesis present in green plants. The photosynthetic efficiency of C3 plants is reduced due to the affinity of RuBisCo enzyme for oxygen which in turn leads to the futile pathway of photorespiration. RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction of the C3 pathway. On the other hand, the C4 plants concentrate CO2 around RuBisCo in their bundle sheath cells of leaves to minimize photorespiration and exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis.
Increased levels of atmospheric CO2 would reduce the photorespiration in C3 plants and would allow them to fix CO2 efficiently due to the increased concentration of CO2 around the enzyme RuBisCo. The increased photosynthetic efficiency would help these plants to exhibit faster growth rates.
However, the photosynthetic rate of C4 plants is not limited by CO2 concentration as they themselves reduce photorespiration by spatial separation of primary carboxylation in mesophyll cell and CO2 fixation in bundle sheath cells. Hence, increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere would not have any impact on their photosynthetic rate and growth.
Soil is non-living because it does not need the basic units of life. Soil does not necessarily need water to survive, soil does not need food, soil does not need shelter, soil doesn’t even need air.
The process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and the atmosphere is known as respiration.
