Describe three ways in which deforestation damages the local environment?

Biology

Explanation:

1. Increased green house gases: In addition to the loss of habitat, the lack of trees also allows a greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. Healthy forests absorbs carbon dioxide  from the atmosphere, acting as valuable carbon sinks. Deforested areas lose that ability and release more carbon.

2. Water in the atmosphere:

The trees also help control the level of water in the atmosphere by helping to regulate the water cycle . In deforested areas, there is less water in the air to be returned to the soil. This then causes dryer soil and the inability to grow crops.

3. Soil erosion and flooding:

Further effects of deforestation include soil erosion  and coastal flooding. Trees help the land to retain water and topsoil, which provides the rich nutrients to sustain additional forest life.

yan [13]

exposure to drugs causes mutations which produce drug-resistant populations of microbes.

<h3>What is the effect of using same type of drug?</h3>

Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when the exposure to drugs causes mutations because this exposure produce resistance which leads to mutation in the organism. Due to this mutation, the drugs did not work on the organism anymore.

So we can conclude that exposure to drugs causes mutations which produce drug-resistant populations of microbes.

Answer:

1. An organism is a individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.

2. Habitat, place where an organism or a community of organisms lives, including all living and nonliving factors or conditions of the surrounding environment. Like a forest, lake, coral reef, desert, towns or cities.

3. An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or nonliving parts. Biotic factors are animals, trees, plants, and abiotic factors are things that have never been alive. So rock rivers, ponds, man made objects.

4. When a organism depends on another is called symbiotic relationships. There are three different types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism involves goby fish and shrimp. The shrimp maintains a burrow in the sand in which both the fish and shrimp live. When a predator comes near, the fish touches the shrimp with its tail as a warning. Then, both fish and shrimp retreat to the burrow until the predator is gone.

5. Pollution(water&air), deforestation, UV Radiation, invasive species.

If an organism went extinct the next generation won't ever be able to see those organisms. If an organism we eat went extinct we would have one less food source which is something that really does not need to happen in today world.
