How has a rise on global temperature impacted the life of the polar bear? A rise in temperatures has disrupted the Arctic food c

hain common to polar bears. Key to maintaining a healthy weight and insulative fat layer is a diet of seals. The US Geological Survey suggest that if such trends continue, two-thirds of the world's Arctic ice could disappear by 2050. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere has been substantially increased by the combustion of fossil fuels. Scientists predict that malnourishment among the bears resulting in smaller litter sizes will result in their extinction in several decades. As a result of melting sea ice, there should be more vegetation on-shore for the polar bears to eat.

Answer: A rise in temperatures has disrupted the Arctic food chain common to polar bears.

Explanation:

Global warming is the sustained increase in the average temperature of the earth, sufficient to cause climate change.

This rise in temperature has denied polar bear the presence of ice caps, that they usually get on in their hunts for seals. Consequently, the Arctic FOOD CHAIN has been disrupted, as polar bears are less likely to feed on seals

Note that other options DO NOT give the impact of global warming on polar bears

4.Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates.- 4. Location- D  

5.Sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide.  - 5. Location- F

Explanation

1. Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food: The carbon dioxide is converted into sugars by the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in the green plants. Plants trap carbon dioxide and sunlight from the atmosphere, to synthesize their food.

2. Carbon trapped in fossil fuels is converted to carbon dioxide: The fossil fuel produced deep inside the earth, acquired by the factory. From the factory the carbon dioxide liberated to the atmosphere.

3. Organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels: The organic carbon obtained after the degradation of organic matter is responsible for the synthesis of fossil fuels.

4. Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates: The carbon dioxide from the atmosphere gets dissolved with water of the water body and termed as carbonic water.

5.Sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide: The glucose or sugar as a source of food in plants gets broken down into carbon dioxide and water by the process of respiration.
