<u>Answer:</u>

Composting food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste would have the greatest impact in reducing the school’s ecological footprint.

Option: (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Reducing the ecological footprint means bringing about some changes in lifestyle and living to improve the biocapacity.
  • Compositing food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste is the best option that the environmental club can apply to reduce the school's ecological footprint.
  • This step can help to increase productivity of soil as well as reduce waste in landfill site.
  • The option of incineration of trash causes air pollution. Likewise, reducing recycling bins will not be helpful in decreasing the ecological footprint.
  • Instead, it causes the unmanaged collection of trash in school environment.

We multiply the 137.25 million metric tons by its percentage to get its equivalent value in metric tons.

Asia uses 71.37 million metric tons.

In making the bar graph, The vertical line will be the percentage and the horizontal line will be the region. Bars of each region should have different colors for easy identification. Spaces between bars should be present, so that the bar graph will not be confused with the histogram.

The diagram above shows four steps in an attempt to investigate the release of gas during photosynthesis. Each setup was kept at
Lena [83]

Answer:

light

Explanation:

The above experiment is an investigation on the factors that affect photosynthesis which include carbon dioxide concentration,light intensity and quality,chlorophyll, water and temperature.Light was the independent variable. When the lant is moved to an area where light intensity is low, the rate of photosynthesis decreases.

After the experiment, oxygen gas is produced being a by-product of photosynthesis. Plants that are not adapted to an aquatic environment are not suitable for this experiment. The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is low.
