Why is preventing pollution at its source the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk ?

Answer:

Because pollution prevention is easier than remediation of contamination

Explanation:

Today, fortunately, there is already a “Stockholm Convention” that, in addition to having among its goals reduce and eventually eliminate twelve of the most toxic POPs, paves the way for a future free of POPs, while we are witnessing a growing alternative development of biopesticides and biofertilizers, within an orientation called "Biomimicry", which seeks to be inspired by nature to move towards Sustainability.

Facts such as these have led to the systematic application of the <u>precautionary principle,</u> which prohibits the hasty application of a technology when its possible repercussions have not yet been sufficiently investigated. To this end, instruments such as the Environmental Impact Assessment, EIA (with different formulations such as "environmental risk analysis", "life cycle analysis" or "cradle analysis" have been introduced - although only in some countries) to the grave ”), <u>to know and prevent the environmental impacts</u> of the products and technologies that are proposed. A relevant example is the Reach regulation that came into force in 2007, after overcoming the fierce opposition of the powerful consortium represented by the CEFIC (European Consortium of Federations of Industry Chemistry). This is a rule that obliges industrialists to provide evidence on the safety of the products they use. Civil society itself creates partnerships to demand more rigorous policies and regulations, such as the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition, which in the US comprises 440 organizations representing more than 11 million people concerned about the toxicity of the chemical compounds present in their homes and workplace.

For the environmental risk, it is much better to prevent pollution than to deal with it after it has already been made. When you deal with the pollution, it is hard to say that you can eliminate completely. So, prevention is the first strategy.

Photosynthesis occurs in photosynthetic ____ localized in large organelles known as ____. a. membranes; chloroplasts b. proteins
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. Membranes; chloroplast.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process is specific to green plants and other photosynthetic organism converting light energy into storage energy by forming glucose from carbon dioxide and water and oxygen released as a byproduct.

This process involves the green pigment present in the plants called chlorophyll located in the chloroplast. The chloroplast is a double membrane organelle present in green plants. The membranes of the chloroplast are the site of photosynthesis.

Thus, the correct answer is option a. Membranes and chloroplast

9. What are mutations, and how do they increase the genetic variation within a species?
leva [86]

Mutations are changes that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1. interactions

2. environment

3. sun

4. photosynthesis

5. chemical

6. producers

7. food

8. energy

9. organisms

10. herbivores

10. first

12. Heterotrophs

13. second

Explanation:

An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms interacting  with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.

Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.
