(a)
Interpretation:
The currect population of the US has to be estimated and the source used for the estimation should be cited.
Concept Introduction:
Population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of biologically productive land that the US currecntly requires for 328,481,538 people has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific area.
Biological productivity is the amount and rate of production which occur in a given ecosystem over a given time period and it may apply to a single organism, a population, or entire communities and ecosystems.
Biologically productive area include forest, cropland and fishing grounds and do not include deserts, open ocean and glaciers.
Ecological footprint is the total area of functioning land and water ecosystems needed to provide resources to an individual or group of individuals and to remove their waste.
(c)
Interpretation:
The precentage of biologically productive land for US people has to be determined.

- Some scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardChemical Eugenia Duodu Addy 2. Research this chemist and his career. Where did this chemist study? Where have they spent their careers?
