All forms of farming have major impacts on biodiversity, especially when new land is brought into cultivation. Habitats are destroyed and new ecological niches created which allow typical farmland species of birds, insects, mammals and weeds to establish themselves.
The ecological pyramid is smaller at the top due to the lower amount of species to fit into the category (diversity is decreased, and the higher, the more suppressed the energy is in the animals/species).
Isn't this Chem?
a non metal and a metal
a metal transfers electrons to the non metal
the non metal gains electrons and becomes an anion (a negatively charges ion)
and the metal loses electrons and becomes a cation (a positively charged ion)
Our genes can be affected by the environment and change the way our traits are displayed, called the phenotype. However, changes in phenotype have an underlying genotypic source. Epigenetics or epigenetic changes are changes in the way traits are expressed as an effect of the environment (i.e. food we ate, chemicals in the body, environmental stresses), without changes in the DNA. Simply put, in epigenetics, some parts of the DNA are turned on or off in response to environmental conditions.
