Deforestation affects entire ecosystems, including the organisms that live in them.


In <em>rainforests</em>, deforestation has devastating effects. Wildlife diversity, for instance, tends to decrease as species are displaced from their natural habitats. Animals go to new places in search of shelter and food. In many cases, they die of hunger or are threatened with extinction due to the spread of diseases.


Deforestation also affects rivers, different streams of water and the soil. The soil, which provides essential nutrients for vegetation, is exposed to more sunlight and heavy rainfalls that erode it. Erosion makes the soil drier and infertile.

Answer:

Deforestation affects biotic as well as biotic components of the ecosystem.

Deforestation adversely reduces the biodiversity of the forest as they are the primary producers in the forest ecosystem.

Effects on abiotic factors:

It changes the water quality of nearby rivers, lakes, and other water sources.  

In addition, it increases the temperature of the water bodies as a shadow or cooling effects of trees are no more present.

The quality of air keeps on deteriorating with increasing deforestation as trees are the natural air filters.

It increases the events of soil erosion and with the entire ecosystem may turn into barren land.

Every living thing must reproduce to prove that they are alive
katrin [286]

Answer:

The correct answer is true.

Explanation:

The biologist has proposed few characters on the basis of which a living organism can be distinguished from non-living things like cellular organization, reproduction, heredity material, metabolism, homeostasis, growth and development.

For a living organism to maintain their continuity on the planet has to reproduce via asexual or sexual means through which its genetic material can be passed on to its offspring.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.

Which of the following statements is true concerning catabolic pathways?
marysya [2.9K]

The options are incorrect. The correct question with options is:

Which of the following statements is true concerning catabolic pathways?

A. They combine molecules into more energy-rich molecules

B. They supply energy, primarily in the form of ATP, for the cell's work

C. They are endergonic

D. They are spontaneous and do not need enzyme catalysis

E. They build up complex molecules such as protein from simpler compounds

Answer:

B. They supply energy, primarily in the form of ATP, for the cell's work

Explanation:

Catabolic pathways are the metabolic pathways that breakdown the complex molecules into simpler substances. The chemical reactions of catabolic pathways are mostly exergonic with a negative value of free energy change.

The released energy is stored in the form of ATP molecules. The energy-releasing reactions of catabolic pathways supply the cells with ATP molecules to perform the functions. For instance, breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O during aerobic cellular respiration is a catabolic process and forms as many as 32 ATP molecules.
