Environmental effects

Environmental effect is the beneficial or adverse impact of human products, services, or activities on the environment. For example, the release of volatile organic compounds negatively affects the environment and causes smog formation. On the other hand, collecting litter and putting it in bins positively affects the environment.

Denitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3) to nitrogen gas (N2) . c. Nitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3) to nitrites (NO2) . d. Nitrogen fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas (N2) into organic compounds.
which of the following statements about algal bloom and eutrophication is true? 1. Eutrophication is typically caused by the removal of nitrogen and/or phosphorus 2. algal blooms cannot produce toxic substances that threaten drinking water 3. when algae in an algal bloom die, decomposition produces excess oxygen, which can kill fish 4. algae populations grow when limiting nutrients become more available

You will be examining the relationship among organisms inhabiting a small lake. Examine the “Lake Inhabitants” sheet for information about the organisms found in the lake. What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the aquatic plants in the lake? What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake? Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains. As the energy flows through each trophic…
