Which of these would you identify as the cause and effect for a diagram on greenhouse gases? after sunlight hits earth’s surface, waves of infrared radiation, or heat energy, radiate back up toward the atmosphere. but this energy doesn’t make a quick getaway into space. instead, it collides with molecules of greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone. some of the heat energy radiates back toward earth, and some radiates higher into the atmosphere, eventually escaping into space. the energy that returns to earth heats the planet’s surface and gets recycled over and over before finally escaping into space. a. heat energy radiates towards the atmosphere, energy gets recycled before escaping into space b. sunlight hits the earth’s surface, collides with greenhouse gases c. sunlight hits the earth’s surface, heat energy radiates back towards earth and escapes into space d. none of the above

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

!if we removed the wolf, snake, and hawk from this food web, what best explains the impact it would have? a) the number of producers would increase. b)the number of decomposers would increase. c)the number of primary consumers would increase. d)the numbers of primary consumers would decrease.

Producing disposable grocery bags consumes resources. recycling disposable bags is a solution that can recover some of the resources used to make new bags. which of the following behaviors could further refine the solution? a. disposing of bags by burning them b. reusing bags whenever possible c. using bags at once so that they do not break d. using only nonrenewable materials to make new bags subject is environmental science for apex users
