Why is preventing pollution at its source the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk? a.
It is easier and more effective to prevent pollution than to clean up and dispose of waste.
b.
Remediation of contamination is easier than pollution prevention.
c.
Habitat restoration cannot be undertaken with modern technologies.
d.
Safe waste disposal is the easiest was to minimize environmental risk.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

A. It is easier and more effective to prevent pollution than to clean up and dispose the waste.

Explanation:

Waste disposal would waste more energy, hence making it less efficient than just preventing it. It is also a waste of time. Why disposing waste when you could just prevent pollution? As the wise words say, "Preventing is better than curing."

hello there,

guys i’m confused.

which rock will weather faster?

answer: b rock

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
