Explanation / Answer
Q91. Commercial over exploitation of the world's fish stock is severe. There will be total collapse of all fish that are currently caught commercially by 2048.
Q93. Sorek desalination plant of Israel produces 624000 cubic meters of potable drinking water per day. Which is highest among them. It is the world's largest sea water reverse - osmosis plant.
Q99. As per the 10 percent law of thermodynamics only 10 percent of the total energy is incorporated into the next trophic level and 90 percent is lost as heat. So only 10 percent of mouse gets incorporated by the coyote.
Q100. As the density increases number of mating competitors also increases. There is also the increase in risk of predation. So it is true that competition for mates increases with the increase in density of the population.
Q101. It is true. As per darwins theory of natural selection more individuals are produced in each generation than the environment can support. Those individuals which get useful traits from their parents will have more chance of survival. This is called survival of the fittest.
Q102. Plastic found in water bottles is mostly polyethylene which is a petroleum product. Plastic is made by distillation process in oil refineries.
