Argue why a study on environmental health is important for human existence. Furthermore, motivate why environmental and personal mission statements are essential for the safe-keeping of our environment
A study on environmental health is important for human existence because the environment plays a significant role in our overall well-being. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we consume are all products of the environment, and the quality of these resources can have a direct impact on our health. For example, air pollution has been linked to a variety of respiratory illnesses, including asthma and lung cancer. Water contamination can lead to waterborne diseases such as cholera, which can be fatal. Additionally, exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment can lead to chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems.
Furthermore, environmental and personal mission statements are essential for the safe-keeping of our environment because they serve as a guide for individuals and organizations to follow. A mission statement outlines the goals and values of an organization or individual, and can provide a clear direction for decision-making. In the context of environmental health, a mission statement can serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting our environment and can help to align behavior with environmental values.
A personal mission statement can motivate individuals to make lifestyle changes that are beneficial for the environment, such as reducing energy consumption, conserving water, and reducing waste. Additionally, it can encourage people to speak out and take action on environmental issues that are important to them. An organization's mission statement can also motivate employees to engage in environmentally sustainable practices, from reducing the use of plastics to implementing energy-efficient technologies.
In summary, a study on environmental health is important for human existence because the environment has a direct impact on our health. Furthermore, environmental and personal mission statements are essential for the safe-keeping of our environment because they provide a clear direction for behavior and decision-making. By prioritizing environmental health and adopting sustainable practices, we can ensure a healthy and thriving planet for future generations.

A potato plant can reproduce asexually so that one potato can often give rise to many other potatoes. Strawberry plants can reproduce sexually. A potato plant puts a large amount of its energy into growing a tuber, which is the part that humans eat. The tuber can grow large and provide energy for the plant during the winter, or it can be used to grow new potato plants. A strawberry plant, on the other hand, puts much of its energy into growing flowers to attract insects that aid in pollination. After fertilization, the strawberry plant must then also grow seeds as well as fruit to attract animals that disperse the seeds. Based on this information, the asexually reproducing potato plant most likely devotes which of the following to reproduction than the sexually reproducing strawberry plant.
A.) more energy
B.) fewer spores
C.)less energy
D.) more seeds
C.)less energy

3.) An African wasp Certolsolen arabicus pollinates a fig tree Ficus sycomorus as it eats the tree's nectar.
4.) A species of hyena known as the aardwolf consumes termites for nourishment.
3.) An African wasp Certolsolen arabicus pollinates a fig tree Ficus sycomorus as it eats the tree's nectar.

Question 1: Some redwood trees reproduce both sexually and asexually. Once a tree reaches maturity, it can reproduce with another tree through pollination and fertilization. The tree then disperses thousands of seeds so that some of them might take root. However, a tree can also reproduce asexually. If it falls down, several smaller trees can sprout from its trunk without the need of fertilization. which of the following tells Why is it advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead?
a.) It reduces the need to find a mate.
b.) It increases the energy needed to reproduce.
c.) It increases the genetic diversity of the tree's offspring.
d.) It decreases the time needed to reproduce.
question 2: The Canadian lynx is a large wild cat that lives in the cold regions of Canada. The snowshoe hare is the main prey species that is hunted by the Canadian lynx. The snowshoe hare eats grass, fern, and leaves. which of the following explain what would happen to the food suply of the snowshoe hare If the population of Canadian lynx were to completely disappear?
a.) The population of snowshoe hare would decrease, and there would be more food available.
b.) The snowshoe hare would stop eating grass, so there would be less food available.
c.) The snowshoe hare would start eating each other, so the food supply would not be affected.
d.) The population of snowshoe hare would outgrow the food supply, so there would be less food available.
question 3: here are approximately 200 species of mice that live all over the world. Deer mice are a particular species of mice that prefer to live in forests, prairies, and fields. It has been observed that deer mice that live in trees tend to have longer tails because they use their tails for balance. Deer mice that live in prairies and fields tend to have shorter tails so they are less likely to be caught when running away from predators. If a forest fire occurred in an ecosystem eliminating the majority of the trees and short-tailed mice are naturally selected over long-tailed mice, the evolution of the mice can be primarily attributed to which of the following?
a.)genetic engineering.
b.) selective breeding.
c.) environmental factors.
d.) human impact.
question 4: Some people have attached ear lobes and some people have free ear lobes. The differences in these traits are caused by which of the following?
