Question

PLZ HELP BC MY TEACHER IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER (this is science)

Suppose water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen were not recycled. What effects might this have on life on Earth?

Answer 1

Sorry if this is long-

Step-by-step explanation:

If water wasn't isn't recycled then all living things will eventually die out, everything on this earth that's alive needs water to live. removing water from the whole earth will kill all life and remove the most important greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

If carbon dioxide wasn't recycled it will be removed from the atmosphere. and all the plants will die due to the lack of carbon dioxide. however, if you JUST remove carbon dioxide, plants and all animals will die due to the collapse of the food web, but there's a chance that certain species of bacteria will still live. you are also removing another green house gas from the atmosphere.

Without these green house gasses regulating the earths temperature. the earth may go into a deep freeze.

Nitrogen is an important component in amino acids. Organisms use amino acids to build proteins from dna. all living organisms use proteins for just about everything, from digestion to DNA replication. if we deplete our nitrogen, no organism on the earth can create proteins. which means, no organism can exist. Also the 4 bases of dna (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thyamine) are nitrogen based. Without nitrogen you can't have DNA.

Answer 2

I hope I’m right:

The water would be dirty and not healthy to drink or swim in. Carbon dioxide would make breathing very hard, animals and humans would die.

Good luck
