Answers

Answer 1

1. Air pollution is the presence of substances- such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, lead and sulfur dioxide- in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of living beings, or damaging to the climate or other materials. Some causes of air pollution are burning of Fossil Fuels, aricultural Activities and waste in landfills

2. Air pollution from from power plants, vehicle exhaust, and other man-made causes have caused great affects to Chesapeake bay. Firstly, nitrogen from the air enters the Bay via the rain, which contribute to algal blooms. These algal blooms absorb oxygen from the water and create dead zones that cannot sustain marine animal or plant life.

Secondly, pollution from the power plants in the area- consisting mainly of the toxic chemical mercury- pose risk to anglers in the area. These contaminants can bind to sediment and enter bodies of small, bottom-dwelling organisms like worms, clams or crustaceans. Through a process known as bioaccumulation, fish that consume contaminated organisms can accumulate these toxins in their own tissue. Anglers are warned to limit their consumption of certain fish from the Bay due to potentially harmful levels of the chemical.

Lastly, exposure to air pollution will affect those living in, and visiting, the Bay. Air pollution can also cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea, as well as long-term health effects including heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long-term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs

3. The Chesapeake Bay is arguably the most studied large body of water on earth. Forty years of intense scientific investigation by leading estuarine scientists have identified why the Chesapeake is degraded and how to fix it. No other water body in the world can boast this level of scientific understanding.

The first action being taken to protect the bay from air pollution is by planting more plant life in the area. Through a process called attenuation, forests can reduce the amount of pollutants in the air. The plants roots and leaves and forest soils absorb and trap airborne pollutants. They can capture more than 85 percent of the nitrogen that falls onto them from the air, keeping it out of the bay.

Secondly people are changing the way they travel around and near the Bay. To lower air pollution people consider learning how to drive the Bay-friendly way; walk bike, take public transport and carpool when possible. They also try to use electric or manual lawn mowers and yard tools instead of gas-powered machines.

Thirdly, the Environmental protection agency developed the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load in 2010 (TMDL). It set limits on the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment that can enter the Bay and its tidal rivers to meet water quality goals. Ever since, the EPA has kept track on the progress of the Chesapeake Bays health.

4.

In planting more trees and plants near the Chesapeake Bay area, it will prevent some sediment and pollutants entering the water. The plants roots and leaves and forest soils absorb and trap airborne pollutants. They can capture more than 85 percent of the nitrogen that falls onto them from the air, keeping it out of the bay through attenuation.

Secondly by reducing the amount of pollutants entering the air via petrol powered machines and cars, the amount of pollutants entering the waters will decrease. Each year, more than 85 million pounds of nitrogen pollution—about one-third of the Bay's total yearly load—comes from air pollution, and with 18 million people living in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, you can imagine how much difference cutting down on transport generated pollution would make.

Finally setting the TMDL will aid in preventing the amount of pollutants in the water reaching a high concentration and hopefully reduce the amount of algal blooms and dead zones within the bay.

5. The bay provides habitat for many organisms. Amongst forests, rivers and streams, shallow waters, beaches and tidal flats, aquatic reefs, wetlands and waters- the bay supports life such as crabs, fish, birds, worms, molluscs, corals, aquatic plants, trees and shrubbery and amphibians.

6. There are many opportunities for recreation in Chesapeake Bay. For example hiking, bike riding, hunting, bird watching, boating, fossil hunting, fishing and golfing.

7. The Chesapeake Bay provides job opportunities for scientists in terms of studying the waters and the ecosystems existing within it, those wishing to attract tourists through the marketing of outdoor activities, those who work in the nearby native American or maritime museums and those selling seafood such as fishermen

When a trait is shown and at least one letter is upper case.

A) dominant
B) recessive
C) trait
D) allele

Answers

Answer:

maybe trait?

Explanation:

dunno lol

Answer:

When a trait is shown and at least one letter is upper case, it is a dominant allele (option A).

Explanation:

In genetics the presence of a dominant allele - represented by a capital letter - is sufficient to suppress a recessive allele, expressing the dominant trait in the phenotype.

Dominance is based on allelic combinations of the genotype, which are expressed in the phenotype for a given characteristic:

Two dominant alleles (AA) express the only possible trait, dominant.One dominant allele and one recessive allele (Aa) show a dominant phenotype, as the former suppresses the latter.  It is a hybrid or heterozygous.Two recessive alleles (aa) show a phenotype with the recessive trait.

The other options are not correct, because:

    B) Recessive  is the allele that is only expressed in the phenotype when there is a pair in the gene.

    C) Trait  is equivalent to a characteristic.

    D) Allele represents the different ways in which a gene is expressed.

After a forest fire what would be the first change in a forest?

Pioneer species are established

A climax community is established

Wind carries seeds to the area and plants grow from these seeds

New soil forms from rock

Answers

c because

The first plants to move into the new bare ground after a wildfire are wildflowers or “weeds.” These fast-germinating, leafy herbaceous plants are also known as “forbs” or “ephemerals.” They quickly germinate, grow and produce a new crop of seeds.

Answer:

Pioneer species are established

Explanation:

A forest fire would represent the process of secondary succession.

In secondary succession, the first stage is the growth of pioneer species. The soil still remains, so no new soil needs to be made.

This rich soil allows for pioneer species to grow in the forest.

During the summer the wind blows from the south west so it will blow toward the land.

What is summer?

One of the four seasons is summer. The summer months are the warmest of the year. Summer can be the wettest (and rainiest) season in some regions while being a dry season in others.

In regions that are neither too hot nor too cold, there are four distinct seasons. Summer arrives on Earth's north and south poles at diametrically opposed times of the year.

Summer occurs between the months of June and September in the northern hemisphere and between December and March in the southern hemisphere. This is because the south of the Earth always faces away from the Sun while the north always faces the Sun.

Therefore, During the summer the wind blows from the south west so it will blow toward the land.

Which type of energy change causes this leaf to grow? A. Thermal energy is transformed into potential energy. B. Thermal energy is transferred to the leaf. C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy. D. Electromagnetic energy is transferred to the leaf.

Answers

Answer:

C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy

Explanation:

Growth is one of the characteristics of living things. It refers to the increase of an organism. A leaf is part of a plant, which is a photosynthetic organism i.e. an organism capable of producing its own food using energy from sunlight. Light energy is a part of the ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY.

This light energy is used to synthesize glucose (food) via photosynthesis. The glucose, which stores chemical energy in its bond is then broken down to yield ATP used for growth. Hence, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to light energy is how a leaf grow.

it is C.  Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy.

(c) The cell divides.

Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides.

Mitosis is one of the two types of cell division. The other type of cell division is Meiosis.

Meiosis takes place in reproductive cells and the  cell is divided into two which is further divided into four by Meiosis-II

While in Mitosis the process is somewhat similar, the parent cell divides into two new cells and there is no further division and also  the parent cell and the two daughter cell will be the exact same
