Can you think of a real-life example of how man-made pollution affected a real ecosystem, its abiotics (e.g. temperature, water

quality, etc.) its biotics (e.g., species extinction), or its habitat?

Answer:

Nigeria Niger Delta Community

Explanation:

Human activities in the form of man-made pollution has had an almost irreparable condition to the ecosystem, abiotics, biotics and habitat of the Niger delta region of Nigeria, West Africa.

These activities has brought an end to the rich fish species in this region, it has destroyed completely the marine life. Some species of birds are no more. Obviously, the soil is destroyed, it's micro organism and nutrients levels are all gone.

Some of such activities that has led to this destructive situation includes:

1.  Natural Gas Flaring

2. Depletion of Aquatic stability

3. Oil Spillage

4. Destruction of Mangrove forest etc.

Answer:

1) Toxic gases released from the exhaust of cars into the atmosphere can pollute the environment and habitat.

2) Improper disposal of waste or sewage, which ends up in the soil, streams or rivers where human get drinking water and it can even pollute the atmosphere too.

3) Spillage of oil which can enter the rivers

4) Burning of clothes, tires and other materials that release black smoke, carbon monoxide and other harmful gases.

TWENTY FIVE POINTS!! What do the variables in the Hardy-Weinberg equation represent? Match the tiles.
Tomtit [17]

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is used to characterize the distribution of the different genotype frequencies in a population which are not evolving. In the Hardy-Weinberg equation,

the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is denoted by p^{2};

the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is denoted by q^{2};

the frequency of the heterozygous genotype is denoted by 2pq;

the frequency of the recessive allele is denoted by q;

the frequency of the dominant allele is denoted by p.

What is a geostrophic wind? Why would you not expect to observe a geostrophic wind at the equator?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

A theoretical wind known as the geostrophic wind is produced when the Coriolis effect, as well as the pressure difference forces, are balanced (PGF). It is a decent estimate for the wind reported at middle latitudes at an altitude of greater than 1 km. Given that there is no Coriolis effect near the equator, there can be no geostrophic wind.

What does "geostrophic wind" mean?

Geostrophic flow, as used in atmospheric research, is the fictitious wind that would emerge from a precise balancing act between the Coriolis effect and the pressure difference forces. The term "geostrophic equilibrium" or "geostrophic balance" refers to this situation (also known as geostrophy). Parallel to the isobars is where the geostrophic wind is pointed. In nature, this equilibrium seldom occurs perfectly. Because of these factors, the genuine wind and geostrophic wind nearly never match up.

The location of geostrophic winds:

At elevations exceeding 1000 meters (3300 feet), geostrophic wind can be found. With the use of weather balloons, the geostrophic wind velocity may be calculated. At heights up to 100 meters, the ground surface has a significant impact on winds.

Bright Light: Mary wanted to conduct an experiment to determine if the color of light changes how a plant grows. She selected fo
AysviL [449]

Answer:

color of light

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>

In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>

Match each type of cell junction with its description.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells

Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves

Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells

Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials

Explanation:

1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.

2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.

3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.

4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.
