Q1) Bacteria are capable of converting atmospheric N in the form of N2 gas to NH3. this process is known as nitrogen fixation. N2 in the atmospheric form is not usable by other organisms, therefore specialised bacteria such as Azetobacter species are capable of carrying out this conversion from N2 gas into NH3 form that can be used by other organisms
Q2) Condensation.
Water in the gaseous state or known as vapour state converted to liquid state, process is known as condensation. in condensation the particles in water become more tightly packed and heat energy is removed from these particles reducing their kinetic energy thus becoming liquid state
Q3)
Transpiration declines
Deforestation is when the number of trees and plants have been cut down therefore numbers have reduced drastically, transpiration is the process in which water is transported through the plant and lost to the environment through evaporation. When the trees and plants have reduced the water lost by way of transpiration is also reduced. This impacts the water cycle as the number of water being cycled in the environment is lesser now.
Q4) the sun
sun is the major source of energy that facilitates the recycling of water in the water cycle. The sun causes water to be evaporated from water bodies and converted to water vapour. This water vapour is then recycled.
Q5) Plants can’t use Nitrogen in the form of N2
N is an essential element needed by plants, however plants cannot use up the atmospheric N2 gas. therefore bacteria are capable of nitrogen fixation that converts N2 gas into forms that can be used up and absorbed by the plants from soil.
Answer;
-All of the above
-pathogens, disease vectors, and high levels of contaminants
Explanation;
Water pollution is a large set of adverse effects upon water bodies (lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater) caused by human activities. Water pollution is caused by;
- Increases in nutrient loading may lead to eutrophication.
-
Organic wastes such as sewage and farm waste impose high oxygen demands on the receiving water leading to oxygen depletion with potentially severe impacts on the whole eco-system.
- Industries discharge a variety of pollutants in their wastewater including heavy metals, organic toxins, oils, nutrients, and solids.
- Discharges can also have thermal effects, especially those from power stations, and these too reduce the available oxygen.

Answer:
287.5%
Explanation:
Initial = 40
Recent = 155
Growth rate = ( recent - initial )÷ initial ×100/1
=( 155-40/40) × 100/1
= 115/40×100/1
= 2.875×100/1
= 287.5%
The rate of growth is 287.5%
