Q

Combination of smoke and fog

25
Atmospheric conditions that trap smog and prevent its dispersal
Thermal inversion (temperature inversion)
26
The 3 major detrimental effects on water quality and availability
Humans use excessive water, depleting supplies Building roads/parking lots prevents rainwater from soaking in, causing runoff Human activities pollute water sources
27
organic pollutants from sewages and industry
eutrophication
28
composed of nitrates, phosphate fertilizers, sulfates from detergents
inorganic pollutants
29
composed of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), oil & gasoline, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals
toxic pollutants
30
contaminates drinking water supplies, very slow exchange of the groundwater pool = "cleans" slowly
groundwater pollution
31
type of contaminants that are organic
common contaminants
32
Suspected effects of groundwater pollution
miscarriage, skin rashes, nervous disorders, birth defect
33
tiny particles found in the air formed because of chemical reactions between pollutants
particulates
34
Microorganism that steals space, nutrients, and living tissues from symbiotes
Diseases

Infectious Disease according to DOH 2019 are?
Acute Respiratory Infection, Influenza A (H1N1), Bird Flu (Avian Influenza), Chickenpox, Cholera, Dengue, Diarrhea, Ebola, Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease
36
Which places don't have bacterias?
Sterilized areas (high temperature and high pressure)
37
How do Bacteria spread?

46
spacing patterns within a population
population dispersion or population distribution
47
type of dispersion that aggregate in patches and influenced by resources availability and behavior
clumped dispersion
48
dispersion that individuals are evenly distributed
uniform distribution
49
dispersion that is independent of other individuals and occurs in the absence of attraction and repulsion
random dispersion
50
study of vital statistics of a population and how they change over time
demography
51
type of survivorship with high probability of surviving until adulthood
type 1
52
type of survivorship whose chance of survival is independent of each
type 2
53
type of survivorship who mostly dies in the early stages of their life
type 3
54
maximum rate of growth of a population under ideal conditions
biotic potential
55
line that determines whether we are normally populated or overpopulated

maintains equilibrium by reminding us that some have to go
