Q

What are some of the major concerns regarding the Bayswater quality

A

Farms which is fertilizer can add a significant amount of nitrogen to the watershed as run off washes over the field into the tributaries. Extra nitrogen can lead to algae blooms and eutrophication or dead zones

Cover 75% of the earth, high salinity,

19
Q

What are three distinct characteristics for the desert but I am

A

20
Q

What are three distinct characteristics for the tropical rain forest

A

Hot and wet, greatest righty of life, no grass, and trees grow tall for sun

21
Q

What is transpiration

A

Transpiration turns into condensation was just turns and precipitation which turns into of Apparation respiration comes from animals to condensation

22
Q

How does carbon dioxide move around the carbon cycle

A

Factories get out carbon dioxide, Treasa take carbon dioxide in and let oxygen out and animals take cart oxygen and turn it into carbon dioxide

23
Q

What is the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle

A

Bacteria sixes the nitrogen in the air and turns it into a usable form for plants

24
Q

How are products and reactants changed and exchange between plants and animals

A

A chloroplast go through photosynthesis because of the sun, from the chloroplast oxygen and glucose going to mitochondria, cellular respiration happens and water and carbon dioxide exit and go back into photosynthesis

25
Q

What is the green chemical inside of chloroplasts

A

Chlorophyll

26
