The term biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.

Biodiversity is the most complex feature of our planet and it is the most vital.

Two human actions that contribute to the loss of biodiversity are:

1. Forest clearing

2. Wetland filling

3. Stream channeling and rerouting

4. Road and building construction

These are often part of a systematic effort that produces a substantial change in the ecological trajectory of a landscape or a region. As human populations grow, the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems they use may be transformed by the efforts of human beings to find and produce food, adapt the landscape to human settlement, and create opportunities for trading with other communities for the purposes of building wealth. Biodiversity losses typically accompany these processes.

Jordan is working with a 50% stock concentration of Windex. She decides to add 500 µL of bacteria to a tube containing 1 mL of n
Lady bird [3.3K]

33% is the unknown concentration of the tube.

Explanation:

Concentration of stock of windex = 50%

concentration of bacteria = 500 microliter

nutrient broth = 1000 micro litre +500 microlitre of windex

concentration of bacteria is the volume of bacteria present in nutrient broth culture.

total volume in the tube is 1000

50% is the concentration of tube of bacteria and broth before adding windex.

After adding windex of 50 % concentration and the volume is 500 microliter which is only 250 microliter of windex rest is water.

33% is the concentration of the tube, which means it has 33% of bacteria in 1500 ml of solution.
