Answer:
In the process of photosynthesis, trees tend to take up carbon dioxide and water and convert it into oxygen and glucose. In this way, trees help in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide from the air which is otherwise a source of global warming. The process of photosynthesis also yields oxygen which is beneficial for life on earth.
The trees also store carbon inside them hence, reducing global warming. The more the trees, the more will be the chances of carbon being reduced from the atmosphere and being stored in the trees.
Plant processes like transpiration help to lower the temperature around them. Hence, more the trees, lesser will be the rise in temperature.
Passive diffusion is a form of passive transport and a type of diffusion by which particles from a high concentration gradient passes through a biological membrane to a low concentration gradient. Diffusion, or simple diffusion on the other hand, is the passage of molecules without the need of a membrane.
It may be determination (not sure though)
Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?
Oxygen levels for aquatic animals
Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.
Carbon dioxide levels for plants
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.
It would be B.) ospreys; decomposers
Since ospreys eat nothing but fish, if all of the trout died from a disease, the ospreys wouldn't have anything to eat because all of the fish are dead. This results in a loss of energy for the ospreys.
However, decomposers would gain more energy because they gain their energy from dead creatures, in this case, it would be the trout.
