The two terms synergism and additive effect are related as the combined effect of 2 or more chemicals at one time results in the health effect but they both differ from each other as

Additive effect – when the combined effect of two or more chemicals is equals to the sum of the effect of each chemical given alone that is 2 + 2 = 4 . this is common when 2 chemicals are given together.

Synergistic effect – where the combined effect of two or more chemicals is greater than the sum of the effect of each chemical given alone that is 2 + 2 >> 4.

11. True,

The term biodiversity is popularized by Edward Wilson to describe the combined effect diversity at all levels of biological organization. Edward Osborne Wilson was an American biologist, naturist, theorist, and author. Among his greatest contribution is the theory of island biography.

The concept of “the tragedy of commons” is an economic problem In which every individual reap the greatest benefit from the particular resource. And as the demand for the resource overwhelms then every individual who consumes an extra unit harms the ones who no longer enjoy the benefit. It occurs when people neglect the well being of society for their personal gain.

Of this, the grand bank fisheries off the coast of Newfoundland is a real-life example of the tragedy of commons.
