BARSIC [14]3 years ago

According to International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCR) red list , the criteria for the classification of threatened specie and non-threatened specie is as follows:

1) Least concern: Ample population

These are the living organisms that are surviving on earth without any threat of extinction. They are scattered in different areas of globe, e.g Pines and Conifer trees.

2) Vulnerable: population of fewer than 10,000 mature individuals  

According to Red list by IUCN, any specie of living organisms is called as vulnerable if its mature individuals are less than 10,000. They are the organisms which are hunted for trophies and pelts. For example, African elephants, Galapagos tortoises and Komodo dragons etc.

3) Endangered : population of fewer than 250 mature individuals

The specie that belong to this group face a great risk of extinction in very near future. Such organisms are being monitored by government conservation authorities and there is strict punishment on their harming or hunting. For example,blue whales,green sea turtles and Asian elephants.

4) Critically endangered:  population of fewer than 50 mature individuals  

The organisms in this group are likely to get extinct in near future if serious efforts are not made for their survival. The specie in this group are over hunted illegally, a process that is known as poaching. For example,California condor and  mountain gorilla.

Hope it helps! :)

Primary waste prevention refers to a situation in which the material to be disposed is not changed in anyway, before been reused. Such material can be given to friend or donated to a charity organization. The material is always used for the same purpose as the original use.  

Secondary waste prevention involves some kind of modifications while tertiary waste prevention usually involves the use of chemicals and heat.

Before the discovery of cells, people believed in the theory of spontaneous generation. According to this theory, living things
Cerrena [4.2K]
Hello!

The two statements that disprove the theory of spontaneous generation are that A) All living things are made of cells and that D) Living cells can only come from previously existing cells.

The scientist that disproved the spontaneous generation theory was Louis Pasteur, who boiled a culture broth free of microorganisms and let it stand for a long period of time. No organisms grew from the flask, but when Pasteur opened it to the environment the flask soon became full of bacteria. That proved that there were microorganisms that were responsible for the growing of living things and disproved the theory of Spontaneous generation. 

Have a nice day!
