Answer:

As a result of human activities, plastic impacts the envionment in negative way that leads to serious environmental danger.

Explanation:

When we don't throw away plastic materials correctly, it causes littering. Well, this can also lead to piles of that, meaning that it is spreading toxins. Littering may also lead to blockages in flowing streams, lakes, river, ground water, big bodies of water, and small bodies of water. This also can contribute to global warming because plastic are made from chemicals that come from the production of fuels like oil, gas, coal and possible more.

when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.
