  1. What is biological control?


Biological control is a natural method to


control the size of animal,microorganism or plant populations. (^)
Biological control is based on the
knowledge of inharmonioecological interactions between species.us (negative) (^)
Using such kncompetitor or owledge a parasite,predator species is
introduced in an ecosystem in order to
attain reanother duction species with of the population owhich it has f
inharmonious ecological interaction. The
biological control padvantage of substituting thresents thee use of (^)
pesticides and other toxic chemical
products in the control odiseases. It however should bef plagues and
employed with caution under serious
previous study to avecological disequilibrioid harmfulum.
A kind of biological control species can be done by the introof somductione (^)
of previously sterilized males, that do
not generate offspring.



  1. What is bioremediation?


Bioremmicroorediation ganisms,is the use of like bacteria, (^) protists
and fungi, to dsubstances turning them into egrade noxious (^) non toxic
or less toxic substances. Bioremediation
employs microormetabolism uses coganismsntaminants whose as (^)
reagents.
Bioremediation is used, for example, in
the decontamination polluted by oil spills. In this processof environments
bacteria that use hydrocarbons as
substrate for their cellular respiration
are employed.



  1. What is global warming?
    Global temperatuwarming re of the planet dis the increase iue ton the


accumulation atmosphere, especiallyof some gases in the gases that r (^) etain

but other gases act as “warming gases”^2 ,^
too, like methane, CHoxide, N 4 , and nitrous
carbon dioxide in the atmosphe^2 O. The exaggerated increase re has of^
been caused by the burning of fossilfuels (mainly oil and coal) in industrial (^)
and urban societies and by forest fires.
