How are plants affected by sunlight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plants need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy. Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to produce glucose, which is then used as fuel for growth and development. Plants also rely on sunlight to regulate their growth patterns, including the direction and length of stems and leaves through a process called phototropism. However, excessive sunlight exposure can also cause damage to plants, leading to sunburn, wilting, and even death.

Is silver a nonrenewable or renewable natural resource?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Silver is classified as a nonrenewable natural resource. It is extracted from the earth's crust through mining processes, and its supply is limited. While new silver deposits may be discovered, the rate at which they can be replenished is much slower than the rate at which silver is consumed.

Why would an upstairs toilet drain into a downstairs sink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer The waste line from the downstairs toilet is not vented (or not vented properly, or the vent is plugged up). Flushing the upstairs toilet creates a vacuum in the main line which sucks the water out of the one downstairs. Answer your waste lines for both toilets may be on the same branch off the sewer main. Either you have a stoppage in the branch line or you have a stoppage in the main line. (If it's the main line your downstairs toilet would have to be the lowest fixture, ie If you have a floor drain downstairs and it's a stoppage in your main line it would backup through the floor drain. If there is no floor drain the toilet downstairs is probably your lowest fixture.) Your best bet is to snake out the system through the toilet downstairs.

What are the drawbacks of solar energy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main problems with solar energy can be summed up by saying we don't really have the technology down. I'll explain: Solar heating of water (a direct heat transfer in this case with nothing fancy going on) works well -- but only in sunny months (when hot water isn't at a premium). Solar temperature collectors don't work well on cloudy days or at all at night, so they're intermittent at best. And they're very pricey. And worst of all, can you envision the risks invovled in having 100-200g of water on the roof of your house? It's a huge liability in exchange for an intermittently working tehcnology that seems to work least when its needed most. Solar-to-electric is probably worse. You can build photovoltaic cells, but they share almost all the shortcomings of them thermal water storage units (except the water of course), and they're made using chemical processes with highly reactive compounds that themselves are often very toxic. Silver looms large in the current photovoltaic process, and pretty much all silver salts are toxic -- some more than others. In addition to this, silver, among other components, is very expensive. And as solar to electricity conversion only works when the sun is up, we also need huge batteries (unless you're happy to live in the dark and cold until morning). Battery technology also produces a serious toxicity problem. So -- at this point in time anyway -- changing over to solar power is hugely costly, very toxic, has many points of failure in the process, and overall causes more problems than it solves. In time, perhaps we'll get the technology nailed so we don't have to use dangerous or costly components but, until that time, solar energy isn't an effective energy solution. Wish it were.

Is it justified to cut trees for factories and shelter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it is not justified. Deforestation could lead to many problems like global warming, erosion of soil and desertification. Floods and droughts also occur due to deforestation. Trees filter the earth and if the filtration is stopped what could happen? Loss of biodiversity is another problem which will have to be faced if trees are cut down.

How does the ecosystem get affected by an animal going extinct?

User Avatar

Asked by ShinyClearCrystel

Badly. Its prey would overpopulate, depleting their own resources, until they would actually threaten the existence of their own species as well as any other animals that might feed on similar things. as a result the animals could either turn to feeding on man-made crops or slowly destroy an entire habitat destroying its vegetation. if this were to happen in lower world countries locals could even go hungry due to a general lack in resources.

What are three ways in which home gardeners can avoid or reduce pesticide use in their yards or gardens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Keep it well manicured-decaying leaves provide food & privacy for many insects, use as little water as needed-excessive moisture conditions are asking for snails. Don't let fallen fruit or produce with any openings to sit & attract them or rodents. Many bugs only feed on produce when the skin is broken. Sprinkle salt or ditamacheous earth as a natural deterrent.
