Biodiversity serves many ecological functions that are important to the biosphere. Which of these is an example of such a function?
A. Removing atmospheric oxygen
B. Decreasing biological productivity
C. Increasing erosion
D. Recycling nutrients

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

What is true of all organisms in the kingdoms protista, plantae, fungi, and animalia? a. they are multi-celled. b. they are photosynthetic. c. they have cells that contain membrane-bound organelles. d. they contain cells that lack membrane-bound organelles.

Which of the following are the ingredients that go into the plant and are needed for photosynthesis? select all that apply. 1.) soil 2.) seeds 3.) carbon dioxide 4.) minerals 5.) glucose (sugar) 6.) water 7.) light energy (sunlight) 8.) oxygen 9.) air
