Answer:

Explanation: ground water contamination is nearly

always the result of human activity. In

areas where population density is high and human

use of the land is intensive, ground water is especially vulnerable. Virtually any activity whereby

chemicals or wastes may be released to the environment, either intentionally or accidentally, has

the potential to pollute ground water. When

ground water becomes contaminated, it is difficult

and expensive to clean up.

To begin to address pollution prevention or remediation, we must understand how surface waters

and ground waters interrelate.

Contrast the different ways bromeliads and pitcher plants acquire nutrients from animal sources. NOT COMPARE.
dezoksy [38]
<span>Bromeliads are an example of mutualism where they create mini-ecosystems that house other small animals by collecting rainwater in their leaves. The bromeliad benefits from the nutrients when these organisms decompose when they die. Unlike the Pitcher plants which are predators, they actively trap insects and other small animals in their pitchers.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Option A, Start the reaction by absorbing light energy

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a green color pigment in plant that helps in entrapping sunlight. Being green in color, it absorbs the blue and red light and reflects the green light. The molecules of chlorophyll gains energy from sunlight and then jumps to higher energy levels by the process known as photo excitation. These excited molecules get ionized to further initiate the process of photosynthesis.

Hence, option A is correct.
