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.

A beaker contains two solutions of salt dissolved in water. The two solutions have different concentrations (measured by molarit
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) There will be a net movement of salt from side B to side A

Explanation:

According to the given information, the solution at side A is hypotonic to the solution at side B. The separating membrane is permeable to salt and would allow the movement of salt from the hypertonic side B to the hypotonic side A. Transport of substances down their concentration gradient is a passive movement and occurs from the region of higher concentration of the substance to that of its lower concentration.

Why conserve water? Because fresh water is rare and the process to clean water is expensive; therefore it shouldn’t be wasted. The next time you are tempted to waste water, think of all poor people who can’t afford clean water. Many children die and suffer everyday from dehydration and water that are unclean. :(
