How does rope pollute living things?

Ropes and nets that are made of rope get tangled around marine creatures such as sea turtles and whales, endangering their lives.

It's the salt and urea! If these waste products aren't washed away, the salt doesn't evaporate off the body and often traps the waste product urea alongside it as well.\n\nThe stickyness is more a sign that one needs to wash rather than any advantagious reaction...though perhaps having a physical signal that its time to bathe IS a rather usefull evolutionary tool. :)

if all the rivers and streams become polluted,certainly the balance of ecosystem will get disturbed.The only result will  be the perish of life from earth.

In mulitcellular organisms, it is more difficult for cells to take in nutrients and excrete waste.  Single celled organisms can easily do this in their environment.  But in multi-celled organisms, cells are found layer upon layer.  They can't easily get nutrients, and any waste that they excreted would just stay there, building up in toxic quantities that would kill the entire organism.  Thus, we have circulation, a network of vessels that reaches out throughout the organism, easily reaching all the cells and allowing them to do their thing.

These days, we're rightly worried about environmental pollution, and heavy metals usually means lead, mercury, thallium, uranium and cadmium.   Cadmium isn't all that heavy, but all these metals have a few things in common.   There wasn't much in the environment until human civilisation.   None has any biological use; the ideal amount to be exposed to is zero.   And they're all cumulative poisons; your body isn't very good at getting rid of them.   Compare with a poison like cyanide or carbon monoxide or green potatoes.   If you survive any of these, your body gets rid of them and you make a complete recovery.   In the case of lead, your body sequesters some of it in your bones, and when you get old and you get degenerative bone disease, it is released into your blood stream.

In order: Sulfur dioxide, Hydrogen chloride (when in aqueous solutions, it is called hydrochloric acid), Chlorine, Hydrogen fluoride (when in aqueous it is hydrofluoric acid), and Hydrogen sulfide (called Hydrosulfuric acid when dissolved in water).  \n\nThey all have varying degrees of being dangerous but yes all of those are quite harmful to living things.

hanging causes the bodies muscles to relax  so yep it is poo you will smell, along with urine , and many of the people hung were left there to rot - to teach a lesson to the common folks . - k

There is no easy answer to this question.  The concentration of a particular pollutant in fish tissue depends on the chemical properties of the pollutant ("oil and grease" is not specific enough), the concentration of the pollutant in the water where the fish lives, and the trophic level of the fish (where it is on the food chain).\n\nIf you search "fish" "tissue" "concentration" at www.epa.gov, you will get a number of technical reports on various pollutants in various species of fish in various locations.

Certain gases and their odours that are emitted by manures, decaying tissue etc are the ones that attract flies. Basically they use these to lay their eggs.

The soap has phosphate and nitrate salts that help to growth of aquatic plants in marine. increasing the growth of them will increase consuming of water oxygen,therefor the life of aquatic animals should be in hazard.

anything that is dangerous to the enviroment and humans and animals. For example nuclear waste is highly dangerous and is handled by people who wear protective clothing and is put into big containers and stored hundreds of meters below ground in concrete. Also it is dumped deap in the oceans

From exactly what you said in bold letters....they break down organic matter.  Otherwise the Earth would be littered with dead animals, leaves, trees, birds etc.  Fungus, bacteria, and insects are all decomposers and a very important part of the Life Cycle.\n\nThe organic matter is then released into the soil and taken up in the raw nutrient/mineral content by plants>animals eat plants>animal dies>cycle repeats.

Plants are living things, and like us, need noses to breathe.  The 'noses' of plants are tiny holes called stomata (s), stoma (p) at the underside of leaves.  These stoma help the plant exchange gases with its surrounding.  Oxygen is produced during the day as the byproduct of photosynthesis, when the plant takes in carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight to make food.  At night, the plant rests and does not make any more food, thus consuming oxygen.  This whole process is called respiration.

Well, on a space ship the water in urine actually is recycled, but the waste products are removed first.  No one wants to drink urea (the yellow part), but the water's just water.  It might seem weird to think about, but the water portion of urine is recycled on a global scale too.  When you flush the toilet, it goes to a sewage treatment plant, and then the treated sewage is dumped some where.  Eventually, the water evaporates, and then comes back in the form of rain.  Chances are that every molecule of the water you drink has been through the body of some person or animal somewhere at least once.\n\nAs for recycling feces, it's not practical.  The waste that's excreted is excreted for a reason.  There's little or no valuable nutrients left, and it's teaming with harmful bacteria.  However, like water, the atoms in feces are recycled.  Wherever it ends up, bacteria and fungi will decompose the compounds in feces, and they will end up in the soil.  Some of these atoms in the soil are then absorbed by plants.  So there are probably former feces atoms in the cocoa beans that were used to make your brownies.  Not quite as direct as you were imagining, but on some level it does happen.

Water is the basic solvent in the nature .In its presence only the biochemical reactions takes place(like photosynthesis, respiration, fat metabolism)\nAbove all water gives turgidity to plants ,with out water plants will wilt  and die, this is what happens when u do not water the plant for a long time
