air
Mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide
If trees were destroyed what would happen to the environment?
A. There would be an increased level of carbon dioxide in the air and a decreased level of oxygen in the ocean.
Animals
will release methane in the form of burping and farting.
If we then populate the area with a lot of animals
we increase the levels of carbon dioxide and methane. This is
A company wants to develop an area of rainforest for its manufacturing company. If they cut down large areas of the rainforest, what would be the consequence?
There would be an increase in levels of carbon dioxide in the environment.
How do trees use photosynthesis to process sunlight?
A. The plants take energy from the sunlight and spreads hydrogen into its parts, helping to create sugar, water, and oxygen.
Identify the correct order of a plant life cycle?
A. Seeds, tree, flower, fruit
Nilda Rodriguez has been farming a fruit orchard where she grows a variety of tree species. Her main production of farming in her plant community are
apples. These are relatively short trees that grow rapidly and need large amounts of sunshine, water and soil nutrients to thrive. She has also grown shrubs that grown in the shade of the trees and need less sunlight to survive. She is careful to balance the ecosystem of her farm so that all plants will survive.

One of her main concerns is the way animals and birds can transplant the seeds of unknown trees into her orchard. She is mindful because these trees often need less sunlight and nutrients to survive. Why is this such a concern to Nilda?
The trees of the unknown species may need less sunlight and nutrients to survive and can overtake her orchard and prevent the apple trees from obtaining enough water and nutrients which can cause them to die out.
Q. An environmentalist is examining the way a seashore has changed over the last few years. She notes that although there has been extreme flooding that changed the coastline the animals that lived there have survived the change due the fact that the plant life remained intact. As she examines the caves and underground tunnels she sees that most of them have also survived the change. What conclusion can be drawn from her study?
A. Although environments can change, some animals and species can quickly adapt to these changes.
Q. How do trees use photosynthesis to process sunlight?
A. The plants take energy from the sunlight and spreads hydrogen into its parts, helping to create sugar, water, and oxygen.
metamorphosis
(in an insect or amphibian) the process of transformation from an immature form
to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.
When a caterpillar builds a cocoon and turns into a butterfly, this is metamorphosis.
pho·to·syn·the·sis
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
Symbiosis
a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups
As industrialized farms and improvements in agriculture occurred, how did this impact the farming community?
The industrialized farms were larger and more productive which reduced the number of smaller local farms.
Every year 30,000 square miles of South America's tropical rainforests which are the world's largest are destroyed by logging and fires, tropical forests are necessary for the stability of the world's climate and the maintenance of fresh waters supplies. Far beyond the tropics, these forests prevent droughts and floods. The destruction of the rainforest accelerates the warming of the earth's atmosphere.
What does the information in the passage above reflect in considering the issue of environmental concerns?
The way the interdependence of the world impacts the environment.
It is important to recognize the connection between different regions of the world. What happens in Mexico City has a direct impact on what happens in Jersey City and vice versa. What human responsibility do we need to keep in mind because of these issues?
The importance of creating a balance between human needs and environmental resources.
