In recent years, there has been a campaign to reduce consumption of single use plastics, like
straws and forks. The table below shows average time frames for different single-use materials
to decompose in the ground and be recycled into the environment.
Single-use Material Time to decompose
Plastic 200 years
Bamboo 1 year
Sugarcane 6 months
Paper 6 weeks
Which of the single use products pose the greatest threat to the ecosystem?
PLASTIC
energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed
Renewable Energy
the rise or increase in the contaminated substances caused by the intoxicating environment
Biomagnification
What was the name of the bride of chucky?

In the 1980s environmentalist began restoring areas of alligator habitat and enacting laws on hunting them due to continued evidence that the alligator population had been declining almost to extinction. Further evidence was collected showing the
decline in population was due to habitat loss and overhunting. If these protective measures are kept in place, which of these will most likely happen to the alligator population?
A. The alligator population will become extinct.
alligators
B. The average size of Alligators will increase.
C. The emergence of new alligator species will occur.
D. The alligator population will have a greater chance of stabilizing.
D. The alligator population will have a greater chance of stabilizing.
