Water pollution can come from many sources. Point-source pollution comes from large farms, factories, septic systems, sanitation systems, and landfills. Nonpoint pollution sources include cities, abandoned mining sites, and animal waste.
Greenhouse gases absorb energy from the sun. The gases hold onto this heat and trap it in the atmosphere instead of allowing it to be reflected into space. The increased temperature from the gases in the atmosphere is a major factor in climate change.
- Water is considered a <u>'Natural'</u> resource (Fresh water is also considered a <u>'limited'</u> resource.
- Oil, coal, and natural gas are considered <u>'Non-renewable'</u> resources.
- <u>'Chemical'</u> energy is able to be replaced within the ecosystem for human use.
- A farmer who wants to produce the best crop yield will use '<u>Precision Farming.'</u>
- When a pollutant increases in concentration at higher levels of the trophic level, <u>'Biomagnification'</u> can harm organisms at the highest levels.
Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
