Answer 1

ANS 5) c) Population

ANS 6) c) 1 species per year

ANS 7) I would recommend solar energy since it is cost efficient and it's more effective. Other sources like wind energy and hydroelectric energy will be too expensive and have high set up cost.

ANS 8) a) are spaced evenly across the site to avoid density

ANS 9) False

Explanation: Increasing populations density increases greenhouse due to cutting of trees and increase carbon-dioxide.in atmosphere.

ANS 10) True

Explanation: Since solar photovoltaic cells directly convert solar energy to electrical energy and solar thermal cells absorb the heat from the solar energy.

ANS 11) False
