Question

6 multiple choice 2 points how do industrial processes contribute to climate change? by recycling waste materials into new products. by developing technologies that reduce the earths temperature. by absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. by releasing greenhouse gases and pollutants during manufacturing and energy production. 7 multiple choice 2 points how does genetic diversity within a crop species affect agricultural resilience? by reducing the variety of crops, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests. by ensuring that all crops have identical genetic makeup, making them equally vulnerable to threats. by providing a range of genetic traits that can help crops withstand diseases, pests, and climate variability. by increasing the uniformity of crops, which simplifies farming practices. 8 multiple choice 2 points how does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of natural resources? by promoting genetic uniformity, which simplifies resource management. by maintaining a variety of species, each playing a unique role in nutrient cycling and resource renewal. by allowing specific species to dominate and control the ecosystems resources. by ensuring that a single species monopolizes all resources.

Explanation:

• For question 6: Industrial processes emit greenhouse gases like carbon - dioxide during manufacturing and energy production, which contribute to climate change. Recycling waste, developing cooling technologies, and absorbing carbon dioxide are not ways industrial processes contribute to climate change but rather ways to mitigate it.
• For question 7: Genetic diversity in crops provides a range of genetic traits. These traits can help crops resist diseases, pests, and adapt to climate variability, enhancing agricultural resilience. Reducing variety, ensuring identical genetic makeup, or increasing uniformity all reduce resilience.
• For question 8: Biodiversity maintains a variety of species. Each species has a unique role in nutrient cycling, resource renewal, and overall ecosystem stability, which is crucial for the sustainability of natural resources. Promoting genetic uniformity, allowing a single species to dominate, or monopolize resources are not positive contributions of biodiversity.

Answer:

1. By releasing greenhouse gases and pollutants during manufacturing and energy production.
2. By increasing the uniformity of crops, which simplifies farming practices.
3. By maintaining a variety of species, each playing a unique role in nutrient cycling and resource renewal.
