Answer:

POLLUTANT, SOURCE AND IMPACT

Carbon Monoxide

SOURCE:- carbon monoxide main sources are from our homes, eg; wood stoves and fire place, generators, gas stoves, kerosene heaters, leaking chimneys, tobacco smokes etc

IMPACT:- carbon monoxide can cause organ failure as it reduces the amount of oxygen the hemoglobin been carried in the red blood cells to this organs in our body.

Carbon dioxide

SOURCE:- carbon dioxide can be from both human and natural source. Example of the sources includes; natural source ( ocean release, decomposition and respiration), human activities ( burning of coal, oil and natural gas, cement production etc)

IMPACT:- carbon dioxide causes difficulties in breathing as it displaces oxygen in the air.

It also increase the greenhouse effect (global warming) as more heat energy gets trapped by the atmosphere causing the planet to become warmer.

Sulphur dioxide

SOURCE:- sulphur dioxide mainly occur due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion at industrial facilities, in ships etc.

IMPACT:- Sulphur oxide has been linked to many health effect and diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. It also causes respiratory problems, asphlegm and asthma attacks, irritation of lungs, throat and nose as well.

Nitrogen oxides

SOURCES:- nitrogen oxides also comes from human activities such as; combustion of fossil fuel, making of nitric acid, refining metals as well as petrols, explosive, food manufacturing etc.

IMPACT:- Nitrogen oxides has also been linked to many respiratory health issues such as bronchitis and wheezing. It causes the lining of the lungs to inflame there by reduce the immunity of the lungs to respiratory diseases.

Methane

SOURCE:- methane can be from either natural or human activities. The natural source includes; food digestion by cattles, decay of organic materials. Human activities such as waste management, rice production, oil and gas production etc.

IMPACT:- Methane is considered a green house gas like carbon dioxide, it contributes to the trapping of heat energy in the atmosphere which causes global warming. It is also linked to serious health issues such cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.

Particulates

SOURCE:- particulates are fine tiny particles of matter found in the air, it might be in solid or liquid form. Example; dust, smoke, fumes etc. This particles can suspended in the air for an extended periods of time.

IMPACT:- exposure to particulates can cause variety of respiratory health problems such as difficulties in breathing, coughing, lungs and heart problem etc.

The members of these kindoms all have cell walls. Which kingdoms are they
ivann1987 [24]

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

Eubacteria are the type of bacteria with which most people are familiar. They live everywhere, including inside humans and other living organisms. Eubacteria have a semi-rigid cell wall that contains peptidoglycan, a tight-knit 

Fungi

Most fungal species are multicellular organisms that live on land rather than in water. Yeast and molds are examples of fungi. Like algae, fungi possess cell walls. Unlike algae cell walls, fungal cell walls contain chitin rather than cellulose.

Rosa drew a flow chart of the carbon cycle. Flow chart of the carbon cycle with 4 boxes connected by arrows. Box 1: carbon dioxi
leonid [27]

Answer:

(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

Explanation:

<em>(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. </em>

<em>(b) X: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. Y: Producers undergo photosynthesis. </em>

<em>(c) X: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. Y: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. </em>

<em>(d)X: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. Y: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. </em>

<u>Box 2 (X)  would be the process through which producers fix carbon dioxide to produce their own food, the carbohydrate. T</u>he process is otherwise known as photosynthesis and can be represented by the following equation:

6CO_2 + 6H_20 --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

<u>Box 4 (Y) would be the process of decomposition.</u> Both producers and consumers eventually die and decompose in the soil. During this process, some of the carbon returns to the soil as organic matters while the process of microbial decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The correct option would be (a).

Simple....

as you've learned... cells create tissue..tissue creates organs...organs create organ systems..and organ systems create organisms. They all work together to create something...

An example:

muscle cell-->>muscle tissue-->>heart-->>circulatory system-->>the circulatory system makes up a part of the body.

Thus, your answer.

Explain the differences between Bacteria and Decomposers?​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

difference between bacteria and decomposer

Explanation:

Decomposers like bacteria and fungi don't eat their food, they decompose it externally. Also, decomposers consume nutrients on a molecular level while detritivores eat large amount of decaying material and excrete nutrients. ... In addition to fungi, bacteria are also decomposer organisms.
