Module 3. Ecology & Geography

Microscopic organisms that have a cell wall, but no nucleus:

The ozone layer gets deteriorated due to the excessive use of products containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). 

The factors that affect severely the environment are:

The classification of artificial pollutants is:

Besides from photosynthesis, this is another way in which energy is transferred between living beings:

It is the medium in which environmental ethics is developed:

All those systems conformed by biotic communities (biocenosis) related to their abiotic environment (biotpe).

It is the variety of life. It includes the different life forms in every organization level:

These are the three essential components for all ecosystems:

Energy flux and mass flux, are also known as biogeochemical cycles:

Social, economic & environmental aspects are the elements of sustailable development:

Types of existing instruments for the protection of the environment:

The three major objectives for environmental education are:

Large quantities of greenhouse gases that prevent the free pass of radiation from Earth to space:

This process is performed by the producers and it consists in converting solar energy into chemical energy:

It can be defined as the capacity to do a certain job:

Biodiversity loss is caused mainly by deforestation, contamination and unplanned urban development:

The presence of one or more pollutants in the environment or any combination of them that causes an ecologic unbalance:

Climate change is a consequence of the greenhouse effect:

In 1985, the Bruntland Comission created the concept of sustainable development:

SEMARNAT is the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources:

It is an extraction of organisms from a population in a greater rate than its reproduction rate:

On the biogeochemical cycles, matter is transferred by chemical, geological and biological means:

Brazil, Colombia, China, Indonesia and Mexico are:

Living organisms are classified in 5 kingdoms.

The modification of the environment caused by human activity or nature:

A responsible consumer reflects on their consumption patterns rather than just being part of 'green consumerism':

The ENSO phenomenon is call El Niño due to Baby Jesus, because it appears on Christmas time.

After the Constitution, the LGEEPA is the most important law in Mexico aimed to protect the environment:

The energy flux on Earth is an open system:

Natural resources can be classified in:

The three types of waste that contaminate the soil are:

The air pollutant substances can be generated by three types of sources, which are:

Very large ecological areas with fauna and flora adapted to their environment:
