Answer:

Explanation:

. An unsound spine

Problem: Our spines are a mess. It’s a wonder we can even walk, says Bruce Latimer, director of the Center for Human Origins at Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland. When our ancestors walked on all fours, their spines arched, like a bow, to withstand the weight of the organs suspended below. But then we stood up. That threw the system out of whack by 90 degrees, and the spine was forced to become a column. Next, to allow for bipedalism, it curved forward at the lower back. And to keep the head in balance—so that we didn’t all walk around as if doing the limbo—the upper spine curved in the opposite direction. This change put tremendous pressure on the lower vertebrae, sticking about 80 percent of adults, according to one estimate, with lower back pain.

Goryan [66]
Okay so northern Africa and the Sahara desert is the best example of desertification.
2 ways humans have contributed to that is: 1) pastoral nomadism 2) little to no settlements to increase water supply 

how it impacted the environment: so now the environment there is sandy, only organisms adapted for those extreme environment can live there ex. camel, cactus, etc., 

how it impacted quality of life: quality of life diminished, not enough water to sufficiently feed the populations, people live in extreme poverty, people are moving away, and the climate is very dry and hot, pretty much not a place anyone would want to live

Under what conditions do photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in most plants? under what conditions do photosynthesis a
dezoksy [38]
Photosynthesis occurs only in the light while cellular respiration occurs in both the dark and the light. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. The process takes in carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and the release waste products.
