How might global warming the evolution of living things?
Those organisms that had variations which caused to survive and be reproductively successful in the changing environment world fulfill the definition of evolution. The change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Perhaps new species would arise from this change and perhaps not. Time and environment would tell.
What effect did climate change have on the evolution?
Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
How would you explain the need for biodiversity?
A constant environment will not select different animals but if we assume that the earth's environment is changing then a wide range of genetic variation and a wide range of biodiversity will mean that as the environment does change then at least some of the organisms will survive
What is essnetial to evolution?
Genetic and morphological variation. Without variation in organisms there would only be the shifts of genetic drift and gene flow in organisms. When organusms are varied then one can be selected from the other by the environment and the organisms ability to reproduce against that environment. Then there is evolution.
Marine organisms that are well adapted to drastic changes in salinity would most likely be found in which environment?
That would be Estuary.
Which condition would cause an ecosystem to become unstable?
Only heterotrophic organisms remain after a change in the environment
List some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations?
Some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations would be climate and water. Water can cause animals to create gills and climate can change the outside of organisms.
How can recycling change the environment?
Recycling will cause less waste. That would cause less problems.

Group of organisms that have adapted to environment?
It's fair to say that all organisms have adapted to their environment, else they would not be living there.
Which organisms would thrive in a colder environment?
the desert

Climate change can cause various effects. It causes living organisms to move from their natural habitat.
Why do some oragnisms fail to change significantly througout geological time?
Organisms change significantly, or evolve in biological terms, only when there is a need for significant change. An example would be a natural disaster occurring, causing the founder effect or vast changes in the environment. This change in the environment might force a species to evolve unable to survive; those who don't have the needed adaptation would die out, leaving the "survivors" to reproduce. If no drastic change that would cause a need for adaptation occurred through geological time that pertained to a certain species, then no drastic change in the species itself would occur.

Can oxygen cause extinction?
Yes - and it did - billions of years ago. Oxygen is toxic to many anaerobic organisms (mostly bacteria), which is why hydrogen peroxide is effective. BUT in todays environment it would not cause any extinctions.
What is the change in the environment that would cause the leaves to drop?
it could be the shortening of the day or the drop in temp. depends on the plant species
What types of microbial organisms other than bacteria would you expect to find in the environment?
The types of microbial organisms that can be found in the environment are as follows:fungi, protozoa, viruses and algae
