How Pollution Affects:

The air: it can clog cities with smog, making it hard to breathe. This can also mess with rainfall, because raindrops are water droplets that form around tiny particles of dust or smoke, the latter of which creates acid rain.

The land: Acid rain can rain down onto plants and animals, giving them chemical burns and stripping trees of leaves and bark, leaving decaying organic matter behind.

The water: Pollution in the water can cause the pH (acidity or basicness) of the water to change. A lot of organisms can't survive too much swing in either direction of the pH scale, so they will all start to die, except for a few outliers that can handle it, who's population explodes and completely take over the aquatic ecosystem.

The ________ nervous system is responsible for responses such as pupil dilation
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

parasympathetic

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is the one that controls involuntary functions and acts. The nerves that integrate it are born in the brain, forming part of the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus cranial nerves

Within its functions it controls part of the visual apparatus: When we are nervous or activated, we need to capture all the possible information about the medium or about a particular stimulus, so the <u>pupil dilates</u>. On the contrary, when we are relaxed, the pupil contracts because it is not necessary to capture too much information from the environment, which is also called myosis.

Alika [10]
What is the connection between DDT and pyrethroids? They are both pesticides, but different ones. However, many mutations that protect the bugs from one of them also work on the other.

So, if they had been exposed, they'd be selected for resistence to these pesticides. But if they have not been exposed; they would be dying more often during the last decade.
