Answer:

Getting rid of trees means they can't photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process that all plants and trees do, they take in the CO2 that we breathe out and they turn it into oxygen for us to breathe in. If deforestation (getting rid of many trees) happens, it means they can't photosynthesis meaning CO2 stays in the air!

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Deforestation by fire is the worst polluter as not only does the fuel burning increase carbon dioxide in the air as it releases during the burn but the trees that have perished can no longer absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce oxygen.

Why do we classify organisms??

OLEGan [10]

Answer: we classify organisms to group living beings who share the same characteristics or who have common attributes

Explanation: So, since the late '60s and based on the proposal of the researcher Robert Whittaker, most biologists group living beings into 5 large groups called Kingdoms, based mainly on three characteristics:

* type of cell,

* number of cells in each organism and

* the way of obtaining energy.

As a result, we could have 5 kingdoms; and these kingdoms are:

Monera, represented by the microorganisms of prokaryotic type known colloquially as "bacteria"

-Fungi, represented by mushrooms

-Plantae, the kingdom of the plants

-Animalia, the kingdom of the animals, and

-Protist, a very diverse group of organisms of eukaryotic type.
