The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Census data show that the human population

doubled from 2.65 billion in 1953 to 5.3 billion

in 1990. If it continues to double at this rate,

the human population could reach 10 billion

by the year 2020. Which BEST explains how

this rate of human growth can harm the

environment on which humans depend?

A. by gradually making up more available energy

B. by using resources faster than they can be

replaced

C. by changing how matter cycles through an

ecosystem

D. by increasing the variety of ecosystems that are

Answer:

by using resources faster than they can be

replaced

Explanation:

As population of the world continues to grow, there is greater demands for resources which are obtained from the environment such as crude oil for energy, solid minerals for various applications, wood for furniture etc.

Demand for these materials increase exponentially as population increases thus they are extracted at a faster rate than nature can replace them. This will eventually harm the environment on which humans depend as population increases.

Answer:

by using resources faster than they can be replaced

Explanation:

More people require more resources, which means that as the population increases, the Earth's resources deplete more rapidly. The result of this depletion is deforestation and loss of biodiversity as humans strip the Earth of resources to accommodate rising population numbers.

Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of lev
vovikov84 [41]

The correct answer is option Energy is lost at each trophic level.

In a Ecological pyramid, the energy is transferred from the producer to the consumer level. The ecological pyramid is triangular in  structure, this is because the number of organism on each successive trophic level is less than the preceding one or the one below it.

The reason of this shape of ecological pyramid is on subsequent trophic level, the amount of energy transferred is only 10%. The rest of the energy is dissipated in the environment in the form of heat. As only 10% of total energy is transferred to the subsequent level, The amount of energy reaching to tertiary consumer is very less that it cannot meet the energy demand of next level.

xenn [34]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) need to be aware that if any of his garlic plants became diseased, it could very likely infect the entire crop</em>

Explanation:

If cloves from a bulb are taken and grown, then the plants formed will be identical to each other. As a result, there will be no genetic varieties in the garlic plants being produced. Hence, when a diseases eradicates, it will affect the entire plants of the garden as they would be genetically identically, Variations would have allowed some of the plants to be resistant for the disease and hence some of the plant species could be saved by genetic variations.
