Question by ▌«♥dσσdette♥«▐: What plants and animals are affected by climate change in New York City?


As in what TYPE OF PLANTS, are affected by climate change [like plants that need that specific type of precipitation to keep them alive]?
AND what animals are also affected by it? Like ones that depend on the climate around them???
IN NEW YORK CITY ONLY.
thanks

Nearly all, if not all, NY animals will fare better with warming. Those that pretend climates are stable, don’t know the first thing about climate. Those that try to blame “climate change” on humans are politically biased and motivated.

I am just glad that your school is indoctrinating you to believe in global warming. What else are they teaching you? That the world is flat?

Question by Michael S: Do Biofuel Plants use a Turbine to Create Electricity?


How does the plant turn the turbine and if it doesn’t even use a turbine, how does the plant create energy?

Best answer:

Answer by Brian K
Bio fuels are chemical fuels extracted from plants. The fuels are then combusted to create steam power which turns a turbine, which in turn turns a generator.

Question by baby bear: Why is the only sustainable production of biofuel, ethanol from wood and plants?

Best answer:

Answer by brian777999
sustainable means you can go back to the source again and again. (it is infinite…not limited) Plants can be grown again after they have been cut down.No other source can do this.
Of course the soil will have to be replenished with fertiliser.

Question by Jorden: What are two environmental factors that encourage plants to photosynthesise and grow in summer?


Can you help me describe in detail what two environmental factors help encouarge plants to photosynthesise and grow in the summer

Answer by Lozza
1) Increased sunlight so greater light intensity for a longer period of time
2) Probably more CO2 in the air, as more organisms will be respiring to keep their temperatures unaffected by the heat outside, and releasing it into the air

Hope that helps!

Question by Samantha: How do solar plants and hydroelectric dams generate electricity?


Can anyone explain to me in a simple way how solar plants and hydroelectric plants generate electricity? I’ve done research, but I’m a little confused.

Please note, I am not asking how solar panels work. I want to know how solar PLANTS generate electricity.

Best answer:

Answer by Yuri K
if you are talking about dams, than water passes through turbines which is basically a big underwater fan. as the water passes across the blades it makes it spin. the turbine is connected to a generator which makes electricity.

Solar plants. if your referring to oraganisms i cant help but a plant that doesnt use solar panels probably uses mirrors that are pointed at central point, usually a tower. All this light shines on the tower heating water until it boils. The hot, pressurized steam rushes over a turbine just as at the dam, and that runs a generator to make electricity.

I’m in 11th grade and I need some science project ideas. While I can choose anything that is related to science, I’m hoping to do something that benefits the environment. However, I’m not interested in doing research (for example, working with plants). I really want to build something like a solar panel or something similar. As a student, my budget is limited and I need something that is relatively cheap. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Without the sun there would be no earth but with the sun we have global warming. Would that help?

A.Pollen from transgenic crops could carry the recombinant genes to wild relatives, with unpredictable consequences.
B.Wild animals might eat the transgenic crop and become genetically mutated “monsters.”
C.Genes introduced into the plants could move to the organisms that eat the plants.
D.The products of the modified genes these crops carry are usually toxic and would be released to the environment if the plants die.
E.None of the above are threats.

1. What environment is PERFECT for plants ?

2.Is it difficult to keep plants perfect in places like Africa or any desert places or any extremely cold places ,why ?

3.How is Greenhouses helping us ?

4. What else can we do to keep our environment perfect ?
WOW ! That is excellent detail !

Best reply by saffronesque:

01. There is no single perfect environment for all species of plants. There plants well adapted to each of the environments with the exception of extreme habitats such as total darkness or where the temperatures never go above freezing or very salty areas. There is an ideal environment for each species of plant.

02. There a specific physical factors that plants need to grow and reproduce. Even in extreme habitats, there are plants that can survive as seeds or dormant underground structures (rhizomes, tubers, bulbs) that can start growth when growth conditions improve.

03. Increasing carbon dioxide concentrations can actually increase the photosynthetic rate. The downside of increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere is increased temperatures which may cause a change in weather patterns that could impact crop production. Increased CO2 in the oceans may increase the photosynthetic rate of algae but at the same time, it causes increased acidity of the ocean causing a decrease in survival of algae.

04. To maintain the current habitats we need to minimize the production of CO2, limit the pollution of the air and water, reduce use of pesticides and fertilizers that cause pollution, reduce human impact on the environment.
