loss of water availability
due to increased drought, water becomes even more scarce in warm environments
extreme weather
increasing frequency of ice storms, droughts, and floods
drastically affects biodiversity levels at rapid rates
species migration
animals will migrate to areas with climates suitable to their needs, which changes the balance of both their previous and new environment
disease outbreak
insects, who are quick to adapt to new climates, will have more human contact
leading to outbreaks of
SARS, H1N1, and other diseases spread to humans by insects
zebra mussels
which reproduce at a faster rate than native mussels
lack natural predators
some areas have over a million mussels per square metre
can lower oxygen levels in the waters
caused by
discharge of ballast water in 1988
non-native species are introduced to an ecosystem
native species being competed against for food and other resources
native species being preyed upon by invaders
causing
changes in the populations of organisms in the ecosystem, creating imbalance
pesticide usage
which refers to
the use of toxic chemicals in order to repel unwanted species
pesticide runoff
pesticides reach bodies of water, thus affecting the species that inhabit the water
risking the population of non-targeted species
example
bee populations are decreasing - one factor is the use of pesticides in the flowers that they pollinate
increased difficulty of reproduction for flowering plants
scarcity of diet staples for species that consume flowering plants
coal for electricity generation

sulfur dioxide & mercury
acid rain
alters pH levels of various habitats, such as water, soil,
habitats
done via
deforestation
a process in which forests are massively cleared
which leads to

in which animals lose access to the resources that they need to survive
in order to
make space for construction and resource extraction
animals
done via hunting/fishing, with examples such as
the extinction of steller's sea cows
a marine mammal that went extinct in the 18th century
due to
exploitation of their fur, fat, and meat
shark finning
a barbaric practice in which shark are caught, have their fins cut, and then are released back into the ocean
which
threatens the survival of sharks, which are endangered
viruses
for example
bird flu
which affects respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems
can affect not only birds, but other animals, including humans
who may reproduce via
lysogenic cycle
virus incorporates its DNA into the chromosome of the bacteria
when the cell reproduces, the viral DNA is reproduced as well
lytic cycle
in which
the bacteriophage (bacterial attacking virus) attaches to the host cell, infiltrating it with viral DNA
the host cell is forced to make copies of the viral DNA and assemble viral proteins
once enough copies are there, the cell bursts, and thus new viruses are released and infect more cells
whose structure consists
tail fibres
which puncture bacteria
nucleic acid
a small piece of either RNA or DNA
protein coat
with patterns able to that enable into a host cell
considered non-living because
unlike living organisms, they cannot reproduce on their own
