One of the ways humans can preserve biodiversity is a. habitat destruction b. habitat preservation c. habitat fragmentation d. poaching a county commissioner wants to reduce the amount of waste sent to the local landfill. which of the following would result in the greatest reduction of waste? a. composting food waste b. recycling glass, plastics, and metals c. reusing rubber, leather, and textiles in new products d. planting more trees in forests

1. The correct answer is option B, that is, habitat preservation.  

A management practice, which aims to protect, conserve, and restore the habitat regions for wild animals and plants, mainly conservation dependent species, and inhibit their fragmentation, extinction, or reduction in range is known as habitat conservation or habitat preservation.  

2. The collection of discarded and used substances, and processing these substances and converting them into new components is known as recycling. It minimizes the amount of waste and makes the environment clean and safe to live.  

The reuse of waste signifies any kind of operation by which the components or products, which are not waste are utilized again for the similar objective for which they were used before.  

Thus, in my opinion, both the options B and C are correct.  

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
