ACTIVITY NO. 1
1. Environmental science is a study about the environment we live in. which investigate its
every aspects like, characteristics, behavior, organism and etc. Currently in 20th century,
there’re a lot of environmental issues happening around the world and, one of the
popular issues are global warming, extinction of a particular animals species and
insufficient supply of clean water. Global warming has a huge impact in our environment,
one of those is the rising of sea level. Abnormal increase of temperature affects glaziers
in Antarctica, few of its glaziers are starting to melt down and, it is hazardous for our
planet. Illegal hunting is the cause of extinction of some animals. People hunt them to
make money. Insufficient supply of clean water specially in Africa caused diarrhea,
which is until now, It one of the big issues when it comes to supply of basic needs there.
Yes, environmental science should include dimension, our surrounding must be
systematically arrange for us to function and also protect it from human activities and
natural phenomenon.
2. It is the study of everything in our universe which includes study of life (biology), study of
celestial bodies (astronomy), study of microorganism (microbiology) and many more.
The basic principle of science are Empiricism, Uniformitarianism, and Parsimony.
Empiricism is a principle that is experimental and observatory which means scientific
theories and question can be answered through experiment.

LET’S ANALYZE
ACTIVITY NO. 2
1. Tropical rainforest are complex because it has a poor nutrient soil however it is
abundant in insects and animal species. Temperature also going down as you go up
the mountain. It is essential because it stabilize the earth’s temperature by the help
of its trees. Also, here in our country, it is one of the best place for agriculture

 Sunlight
Photosynthesis, which provides energy to nearly all life on Earth, is powered
by sunlight. It is also necessary for vision, which many animals rely on to
catch food, spot predators, and so on.
 Temperature
Organisms can only survive within a narrow temperature range. If the body
temperature rises or falls outside of that range, the critical chemical reactions
in the tissues become "out of sync," resulting in metabolic chaos.
 Water and dissolved salts
To keep cells alive, the precise balance of water, dissolved salts, and
organicmolecules in organisms' body fluids must be maintained. Many plants
and animals cannot survive in dry environments, such as deserts, because
they cannot acquire and store water that their body cells require.
 Oxygen
In a variety of environments, the concentration of available oxygen can be a
significant limiting factor. Bacteria can be aerobic or anaerobic. Too much
oxygen for anaerobic organisms can be fatal, while a lack of oxygen is fatal
for aerobic organisms. Air-breathing animals require more oxygen to survive.
 Metabolic waste
Waste products from metabolism are produced by every organism. Plants
emit oxygen during the day, carbon dioxide during the night, and dispose of
their leaves and stems on a seasonal basis. Waste must enter the
biogeochemical cycle, where it is broken down and removed.
 Nutrients
Where organisms can grow and where they cannot depends on the
distribution of nutrients. The more nutrients that are present in each area, the
more living things that can survive there.
3.
 Tundra and Taiga
In contrast to the tundra, which is completely devoid of trees, the taiga has a dense
forest of conifers like pine and spruce. This is brought on in part by the tundra's
water scarcity, but it is also a result of permafrost. Trees have trouble developing
strong roots in frozen terrain.
 Temperate Forest from Boreal Forest
The northern hemisphere's boreal forest is made up of a belt of
coniferous trees that stretches through North America, Europe, and
Asia. In sub-polar regions, many coniferous and broad-leaved forests
thrive on enormous below-ground carbon stores in the form of peat,
making boreal forests essential for carbon storage. A mixture of
deciduous, broadleaved, and coniferous evergreen trees makes up
temperate forests, which can be found in places like eastern North
America, northeastern Asia, and western and eastern Europe.
Compared to tropical forests, they have a simpler structure and house
fewer tree species. Despite centuries of decimation, temperate forests
are now expanding widely and actively accumulating carbon.
 Wet lands and lakes
Lakes are typically kept full by a variety of sources of water. Through
evaporation, they take in more water than they expend. An area that
has water in it for the majority of the year is called a wetland. A wetland
might not always be wet, which is strange.
