    One of these is not a type environmental adaptation? - ProProfs

    One of these is not a type environmental adaptation?

    • Structural Adaption

    • Genetic Adaptation

    • Physiological Adaptation

    • Behavioral Adaptation

    Correct Answer
    A. Genetic Adaptation
    Explanation
    Genetic adaptation refers to the changes in an organism's genetic makeup over generations, allowing it to better survive and reproduce in its environment. This involves the inheritance of beneficial genetic traits that enhance an organism's fitness. Structural adaptation refers to physical features or characteristics that help an organism survive, such as the shape of a bird's beak. Physiological adaptation involves internal processes or functions that enable an organism to adjust to its environment, such as a camel's ability to conserve water. Behavioral adaptation refers to actions or behaviors that organisms exhibit to increase their chances of survival, such as migration or hibernation.

    • Physical and the spiritual environment

    • The Atmosphere and the space

    • Human and the environment

    Correct Answer
    A. Human and the environment
    Explanation
    Environmental studies is the field of study that focuses on the relationship between humans and their surrounding environment. It examines how human activities impact the environment and how the environment, in turn, affects human well-being. This includes studying the effects of pollution, deforestation, climate change, and other human-induced changes on ecosystems and natural resources. It also explores ways to mitigate these impacts and promote sustainable practices to ensure a harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment.

    The following are negative effects of Overpopulation except: - ProProfs

    The following are negative effects of Overpopulation except:

    • Environmental Pollution

    • Increased death rate

    • Moderate standard of living

    • Aggravated forces behind Global warming

    Correct Answer
    A. Moderate standard of living
    Explanation
    Overpopulation can lead to various negative effects, including environmental pollution, increased death rate, and aggravated forces behind global warming. However, a moderate standard of living is not inherently a negative effect of overpopulation. In fact, it is possible for a society to maintain a moderate standard of living even with a large population, through proper resource management and development strategies. Therefore, a moderate standard of living is not considered a negative effect of overpopulation.

    Which of these is a biotic factor that affects the environment: - ProProfs

    Which of these is a biotic factor that affects the environment:

    • Climate

    • Predators

    • Temperature

    • Sunlight

    Correct Answer
    A. Predators
    Explanation
    Predators are considered a biotic factor that affects the environment because they play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. They control the population of prey species, which in turn affects the abundance and distribution of other organisms within the ecosystem. The presence or absence of predators can have significant impacts on the structure and dynamics of the entire ecosystem, including the behavior and adaptations of other species. Therefore, predators are an important biotic factor that influences the overall functioning of the environment.

A healthy and supportive environment can promote proper growth and development, while a challenging or unhealthy environment can hinder it. Therefore, the growth speed of children is greatly influenced by the environment they are raised in.

    Environmental science does not belong to which of these disciplines? - ProProfs

    Environmental science does not belong to which of these disciplines?

    • Physical Science

    • Economics

    • Social science

    • Biology

    Correct Answer
    A. Biology
    Explanation
    Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of physical science, economics, and social science to study the environment and its interactions with human society. However, biology is not typically considered a discipline within environmental science. While biology certainly plays a role in understanding ecosystems and the living organisms within them, it is just one aspect of the broader field of environmental science.
