What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?

Biology
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.

Question 21<br> Neurons of the cerebral cortex never dip into the medulla.<br> O True<br> O False
V125BC [204]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex refers to the outer layer of the brain. This layer is formed by a thin film of nervous tissue that surrounds the surface of the cerebral hemispheres, with primates having a much more developed cerebral cortex than other animals.  

the cerebral cortex is a thin layer of neurons and neuronal connections which is embedded in the neocortex(the neuronal cells of the cerebral cortex which form in the deep layer), it is not homogeneous, since it is made up of six layers of cells, each with specific and specific functions.

What happens when a hypothesis is not supported
Temka [501]
<span> For a start, when you have a question that needs answering in science, you formulate a null hypothesis. That is a negative statement which you then set out to prove or disprove. This is just a convention. So if your initial question is for example, "Does sugar dissolve in water?"

Your null hypothesis will be "Sugar does not dissolve in water."
You then set up your experiment and get some data.

Now if your data doesn't support your null hypothesis then you reject it and make the statement ,"Sugar does dissolve in water." As you can see from this simple example, a non-result is still a result so the idea of formulating new tests as mentioned by another answerer isn't necessary and in some ways is the incorrect thing to do. In science, hypotheses are often not supported by data and i would argue that this is the case a lot of the time. A non-result is still a result and you will have plenty to write about whichever way it goes. </span>
