A benefit of monoculture farming practices is what?

1 answer:

4 0

The main benefits of the monoculture farming are that it has higher production, is more efficient, and has lower costs. All three advantages of the monoculture farming are making it much more attractive for the farmers as it is more profitable and easier for work.

In this type of farming there's no spaces of the arable land that are lost because it is all planted with the same culture, and there isn't any other cultures with which there should be made empty spaces in between.

The costs for farming are lower, and also the work is easier and more efficient because the machinery can be used in the same manner constantly and the work can go on systematically on the farmlands.

On the other hand, we have to mention that there are also negative effects of this type of farming like the total destruction of animal and plant biodiversity in the area where it is practiced, as well as making the entire crop vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes.

Which of the following are functions of lipids? Choose three correct answers. A. forming the exoskeletons of insects B. forming

irina [24]

The three correct answers are;

B. forming waxy leaf coverings

D. storing energy in fat cells

E. forming cell membranes

Lipids are a large group of biological molecules that include phospholipids, fats, oils, waxes and some steroids. Almost all lipids are hydrophobic (i.e. insoluble in water). Lipids play many important different functions in a cell. Lipids are vital component of all cellular membranes. They store energy in the form of fats in the body. Waxy coverings on some leaves are composed of lipids. Lipids are also essential for heat insulation, cellular communication and protection.

DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.

The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.

It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.

Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :

a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere

b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)

c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.

Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.

The interface begins with phase G1 where the cell increases its volume and the mass is doubled.

Then, we continue with the S phase where DNA and histones are synthesized.

Afterwardsy we reach the G2 phase where the chromosomes are duplicated.
