Answer:

Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes changes to biophysical environments[1] and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources[2][3] caused directly or indirectly by humans, including global warming,[1][4] environmental degradation[1] (such as ocean acidification[1][5]), mass extinction and biodiversity loss,[6][7][8][9] ecological crisis, and ecological collapse. Modifying the environment to fit the needs of society is causing severe effects, which become worse as the problem of human overpopulation continues.[10][11] Some human activities that cause damage (either directly or indirectly) to the environment on a global scale include population growth,[12][13] overconsumption, overexploitation, pollution, and deforestation, to name but a few. Some of the problems, including global warming and biodiversity loss pose an existential risk to the human race, and human overpopulation causes those problems.

Explanation:

The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity. The term was first used in the technical sense by Russian geologist Alexey Pavlov, and it was first used in English by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in reference to human influences on climax plant communities.[19] The atmospheric scientist Paul Crutzen introduced the term "Anthropocene" in the mid-1970s.[20] The term is sometimes used in the context of pollution emissions that are produced from human activity since the start of the Agricultural Revolution but also applies broadly to all major human impacts on the environment.[21] Many of the actions taken by humans that contribute to a heated environment stem from the burning of fossil fuel from a variety of sources, such as: electricity, cars, planes, space heating, manufacturing, or the destruction of forests.

What is the difference between a promoter, an activator, and a repressor?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Promoter:

Promoter may be defined as the region of DNA that are responsible for the transcription initiation of a gene. Promoters are located on the upstream region of DNA. RNA polymerase binds to the site of promoter.

Activator:

Activators are the factors that are responsible for the activation of transcription initiation. These factors helps in the binding of polymerase with the promoter region.

Repressor:

Repressors are the factors that decreases the rate of transcription. The presence of a repressor inhibits the binding of the RNA polymerase with the promoter.
