Imagine if the population in your neighborhood suddenly doubled in size. This increase
would put a strain on transportation, food, and electricity. What steps might the
neighborhood take to relieve these problems? Are there any consequences to taking these
steps? Write your answer in one or two short paragraphs.

An increase in population leads to more cars on the road. That could clog the roads. Adding extra lanes of traffic and roads could help address this problem. But roads cost a lot of money and might require clearing away valuable natural resources. More people also means the demand for food will increase. People will have to grow more crops, or cities will have to provide more ways to get groceries. Growing more crops and setting up grocery stores will cost money and use up land, just as adding roads does. A larger population also puts a strain on utilities, such as electricity. Increased demand may result in the depletion of fossil fuels, which can interfere with the fuel needs of future generations. Investments in clean energy could help limit this effect.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
