Ecology is the study of cells and their functions.

That is false. Ecology is the study of relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Cell biology is the study of cells and their functions.

The study of "cells with their functions" are not Ecology. It is called Cell Biology.

Cell Biology studies and researches on the different functions and structures of the cell and centers around the idea of cell being the basic unit of life.

Meanwhile, Ecology is a "branch in Biology" that deals and studies about the interconnection between the organisms living and their environment, which incorporated both abiotic components and biotic components. Biomass, distribution, biodiversity, competition, population of organisms, etc. are all included under Ecology.  

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.

explanation:

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
