Answer:
Alexander Fleming
Explanation:
Which scientist developed the idea that microorganisms can cause diseases?
Paul Ehrlich

</span>The milkweed is the primary producer in the
ecosystem. It manufactures food from the abiotic factors in the soil such as
nitrates and water and those in the atmosphere such as carbon-dioxide and
sunlight. The milk weed is then fed on by the caterpillar and a primary
consumer. The caterpillar is then fed on the mocking bird (secondary consumer)
<span>b)
</span>Increased human population growth and their activities
have resulted in the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere. This has increased the global temperature. This increase of
global temperature increase ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching.
Another example is depletion of water sources
by human activities hence causing drought. Drought reduces the amount of
vegetation growth due to scarcity of water in the soil (due to lowering of the
water table) for plant growth.
Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
