The melting of the ice caps makes Earth warmer because less solar energy is reflected due to loss of Albedo
Elza [17]4 years ago

The answer is; B

The ice caps are made of ice sheets that are mainly white in color. The white color is known to have a high albedo (a measure of how much light that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed) hence reflects some of the sun’s radiation back to space. When these ice sheets and caps are lost, this albedo decreases and the earth get a little warmer since more sun rays are absorbed by the earth.

den301095 [7]

Assuming the stomata are open to the same degree, the rate of transpiration should <u>decline</u> on a rainy day compared with a sunny day, because the relative size of the H2O concentration gradient from the inside to the outside of the leaf would <u>decrease</u>.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

During the dry season transpiration levels were stronger than during the wet season, due largely to increased demand for evaporation and the depletion of groundwater supplies by trees. Transpiration levels showed a strong hysteresis in relation to the deficit in vapor pressure, which was more pronounced in the dry season than in the wet. This consequence may be due to low hydraulic conductivity in the soil, or the use of accumulated stem water, or both.

Compare and contrast two of the cycles of matter
Akimi4 [234]
The two cycles of the matter are the carbon and nitrogen cycle. Both of them are biogeochemical cycles, it means that the chemicals spend a portion of the cycle in living things and non-living things. They are also common in that they both recycle nutrients that are essential to all organisms. 

They are different in the manner that they cycle. Nitrogen is huge, 78% of the air around us is nitrogen. It cannot be used by plants or animals. Once the nitrogen is used by the plant and make its way to the animal, it can be released to decomposition. 

Carbon has no requirement in processing by bacteria prior to plants and animals being able to use. Plants take carbon dioxide and make it sugar, animals eat the sugar. Some of it is released carbon dioxide that we exhale.
