MAKE CONNECTIONS Refer to the discussion of oceanacidification in Concept 3.3. Ocean acidification andchanges in the distribution of C3 and C4 plants may seemto be two very different problems, but what do theyhave in common? Explain.
MAKE CONNECTIONS As noted in Figure 52.15, theaddition of nutrients to a lake can cause an algal bloom.When these algae die, complex molecules in their bodiesare broken down by decomposers using aerobic respiration. Explain why this would reduce the lake’s oxygenlevels (see Concept 9.1)
Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon. In the first model diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a natural, pre-industrial landscape. In the second model, diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a landscape altered by human activity and industry. Finally, write a few short sentences on what you would expect the atmospheric levels of CO2 to be in each model and why they would or would not be similar.

- please draw! Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon.

- support or refute the following statements based on what you learned about energy flow, biogeochemical cycling, decomposition, trophic levels, and keystone species. You may add a diagram or illustration to support your answer. Planting mangroves is better than putting dolomite sand on the coast of the polluted Manila Bay.arrow_forwardThe concentration of carbon dioxide has been rising in the Earth’s atmosphere at an unprecedented rate. Explain why this increase is happening in terms of chemical reactions and emissions sources. Identify two ecosystem consequences of this enrichment. Describe some ways the problem can be addressed.arrow_forwardRespond to the following questions. Why might it seem surprising that green light can drive any photosynthesis, given that chlorophyll, the major photosynthetic pigment, is green? How can it do this? Suppose that CO2 levels were to rise to 600 ppm, which in fact probably was their level about 300 million years ago. What effect would you suppose that might have regarding competition between C3 and C4 plants? In other words, which of the two kinds of plants would the change favour and why?arrow_forward
