Forest biome: It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.
Freshwater biome: We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.
Marine biome: It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.
As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
Answer:
<h2><em><u>Chlorophyll</u></em></h2>
Explanation:
<u>Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis</u>, <em>reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly</em>.
In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
Water (H2O) takes up more than 60% of the body thus the answer is C
B. Ice-albedo feedback
Explanation:
The ice-albedo feedback is one process that can significantly increase the rate of greenhouse emissions in response to a decreased albedo.
Albedo is the ratio of reflected light to incident light.
A decrease in albedo suggests that a surface is absorbing more light than it is reflecting. This is typical of areas with land cover and vegetation.
Areas with a high reflectivity have a high albedo. Snow, ice and polar regions are good reflectors of solar radiation. They have a very high albedo close to 100%. Much of the surface area is buried with ice.
Examples of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor e.t.c
How does a low albedo relates to increase in greenhouse gas emission?
- The ice-albedo feedback can substantially contribute to greenhouse gas emission.
- The high reflectivity of ice causes long wave radiation to warm the air around a icy body in polar regions.
- When ice melts, they leave land bare and exposed.
- Melt water collects in pockets.
- Exposed land leads to a decrease in albedo.
- Organisms can thrive more in warm terrain.
- Also, pockets of carbon dioxide gases trapped in ice is released.
- Organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during cellular respiration.
- Soils originally permafrost will become stable and this will encourage more human occupation of the area.
- All these activities leads to an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases in an area with low albedo.
