Answer:

It acts as a weed killer by blocking photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is important to plants because it is their principal form of energy.

When DCMU is introduced to weeds, what it does is to block or slow down the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide fixation is slowed down causing weeds to die off. DCMU strongly slows down photosystem II. When this is done, lipid and protein membranes would get destroyed and the weed cells would begin to dry and shed off

Lake Mojave is an ancient lake that has dried up and no longer exists in the Mojave desert in California. Which environmental co
Goshia [24]

The correct answers are:

- Decrease in rainfall in the Mojave desert;

The decrease in rainfall can be devastating to a lake's waters and biodiversity. The decrease in rain usually causes bigger loss of water through evaporation than water coming in the lake, so over time it will dry out, or just small pieces of it will remain.

- Decrease in runoff that flows into Mojave Lake;

If the amount of water that comes into the lake decreases, it can be fatal to it, and in a very short period of time, since the lake will be losing more water than it gets in.

- Increase in blocked streams that flow into Mojave Lake;

Naturally, streams can be blocked and redirected, so if this happens, we have the same situation from before, where the water income is smaller than the water loss of the lake.
