Individual organisms live together in an ecosystem and depend on one another. In fact, they have many different types of interactions with each other, and many of these interactions are critical for their survival. Do ecosystems depend on each other? All organisms in an ecosystem depend upon each other. If the populations of one organism …
The small size of prokaryotes allows ions and organic molecules that enter them to quickly diffuse to other parts of the cell. Similarly, any wastes produced within a prokaryotic cell can quickly diffuse out. How do cells dispose of waste? As most high schoolers learn, the lysosome carries out waste disposal and recycling. In a …
The two weather variables used most often as indicators of climate are: precipitation and temperature. What are the two weather elements used most often as indicators of climate? precipitation and temperature. The two weather elements used most often as indicators of climate are: highland. When studying climate,which of the following would be considered an example …
First of all, EPS is not technically “recycled.” Recycling involves converting a product back into raw materials, and since you can’t un-expand a plastic, you can’t convert EPS into raw polystyrene. However, you can turn old packing peanuts into new products. Can packing popcorn be recycled? Packing Peanuts Are Not Recyclable Because they are so …
Organisms compete for the resources they need to survive- air, water, food, and space. In areas where these are sufficient, organisms live in comfortable co-existence, and in areas where resources are abundant, the ecosystem boasts high species richness (diversity). Do abiotic factors have competition? Abiotic factors do not compete for food, but rather affect the …
Marine West Coast is influenced by the presence of mountains. This is why it covers more land in Europe than it does in North America–North America’s mountains block the humid air from moving farther inland. What causes the climate of Western Europe to be mostly marine west coast? The climate of western Europe is strongly …
An ecosystem is an area, within which plants and animals interact with each other and their non-living environment (rock, soil, climate). … Larger ecosystems are known as biomes (tropical rainforest, the desert). KS3 Geography Knowledge: Ecosystems. Animals adapt to survive in the ecosystem they live in. What is a simple definition of ecosystem in geography? …
Tropical climates are characterized by monthly average temperatures of 18 ℃ (64.4 ℉) or higher year-round and feature hot temperatures. Annual precipitation is often abundant in tropical climates, and shows a seasonal rhythm to varying degrees. What is the climate zone tropical? Tropical Climates Right around the equator is the tropical climate zone. This zone …
The concerns surrounding potential negative environmental and eco-system function outcomes of agricultural biotechnology include impacts stemming from changes in pesticide use, impacts on non-target species, and pest and virus resistance. How does biotechnology affect the environment? New industrial and environmental biotechnology advances are helping to make manufacturing processes cleaner and more efficient by reducing toxic …
There was an increase from 23.4 million to 24.9 million tons of food and yard trimmings composted between 2015 and 2018. The recycling rate (including composting) was 32.1 percent in 2018, down from 34.7 percent in 2015. The per capita rates in 2018 were: 1.16 pounds per person per day for recycling. What is the …
