10 of 14 The graphs below show total nutrient uptake by plants and net dissolved nutrients in the stream draining an undisturbed (control) watershed. Control Watershed 50 25 0- 1 1 2 3 Year Year Now consider a scenario in which a watershed is treated with a chemical that kills only decomposers. Decomposers are eliminated from the treated watershed for three years. How will eliminating decomposers affect nutrient uptake by plants and net dissolved nutrients in the stream draining the watershed? Drag one graph from the top row and one graph from the bottom row to the targets on the right to predict how eliminating decomposers would affect nutrient uptake and dissolved nutrients. • View Available Hint(s) Reset Help Predicted Experimental Results nutrient uptake by plants decomposers control control control decomposers decomposerS Year Year Year dissolved nutrients in stream no decomposers decomposers control control control no decomposers 3 2 3 1 Year 1 Year Year Net dissolved nutrients…

The table below shows the demand for pollution permits to emit hydrocarbons in a particular industrial park. Each permit allows the owner to release one tonne of pollutants into the atmosphere. Price per Pollution Permit $4,000 3,500 3,000 Quantity of Permits 200 400 600 2,500 2,000 1,500 8ee 1,800 1, 200 1,400 1,000 a. If no fee for a pollution permit were charged, how many tonnes of pollutants would be discharged into the atmosphere, assuming a straight-line demand curve? Quantity: tonnes b. Suppose government were to set a fee of $3,000 per pollution permit. How many tonnes of pollutants would now be dumped? What is the total revenue received by government? Quantity: tonnes Total revenue: $ c. Suppose that a new technology allows for a significant reduction in hydrocarbons at a relatively low cost so that the demand for pollution permits in the industrial park drops by 200 tonnes. Assuming that government holds the permit fee at $3,000, how many tonnes of pollutants would now be…
