In August of 2014, residents of several Ohio cities that use Lake Erie as a drinking water source were warned not to drink tap water because of the presence of toxins released by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Which of the following is the most likely cause of recent blooms of blue-green algae in Lake Erie? Increased recreational use of Lake Erie Increased recreational use of Lake Erie A Cooler average summer temperatures Cooler average summer temperatures B Phosphorus contained in agricultural runoff Phosphorus contained in agricultural runoff C Carbon in wastewater from fracking operations Carbon in wastewater from fracking operations D Chlorine from sewage treatment plants along Lake Erie’s shoreline

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphorus contained in agricultural runoff

Explanation:

The term eutrophication refers to the enrichment of surface water with nutrients. This process is related to human pollution activities.

Eutrophication is the biological process that generates in water by an oversupply of nutrients or organic matter. This matter, mainly compounded with nitrogen or phosphorous, favors the phytoplankton multiplication (microscopic plants growing on the water surface) and other aquatic plants. This overgrowth leads to an enhance in primary productivity. Nitrogenated compounds might come from human and animal wastes, while phosphorated compounds might come from fertilizers and other chemicals used in agriculture, that penetrates the soil and reaches water bodies.  

Little by little begin sedimentation is caused by the death of some vegetable organisms that sink in the bottom. These sediments rich in organic matter suffer decomposition in the presence of oxygen.

When oxygen disappears, anaerobic bacteria act and produce fermentation.

On the surface, plants and phytoplankton keep growing, creating a mantle that impedes the light reach deeper areas. The phytoplankton overgrowth on the water surface and the fermentation processes in the bottom originate toxic compounds that damage the animals. Animals die, creating more sediments in the bottom where there are anaerobic conditions.  

Decomposition and fermentation processes increase, producing a bad smell.

The result of eutrophication is the stratification of the water mass:

First superficial layer, the overgrowth of blue-green algae, produces toxins and interrupts the pass of light to deeper areas. The surface then becomes warmer.

• The second layer might have oxygen available for the animals.

• In the third layer, there is no oxygen, so life is impossible for animals or plants.

• In the fourth layer, there are animals and plant remains in the process of sedimentation.

• At the bottom, there are organic matter and anaerobic bacteria in charge of decomposition and fermentation, through which they produce toxic gases and smell.

Field mustard is an annual plant that grows wild in many regions of the world. It has small yellow flowers and is pollinated by insects. Field mustard has to flower and produce seeds to give rise to the next generation. Southern California experienced a severe drought between 2000 and 2004. Plants that flowered earlier reproduced. Those that flowered later died without producing seeds. This led to more early-flowering field mustard plants. This change in population characteristics took only a few generations.

How do you think scientists discovered that the flowering time of the field mustard had changed?

Answers

Answer:

Due to early flowering in the mustard plant.

Explanation:

The scientists discovered that the flowering time of the field mustard had changed by observing more mustard plants which produces earlier flowers. The behaviour of the mustard plant change due to the change that occur in the environmental conditions that leads to early flowering in mustard plant. If this early flowering occurs for more generation, then the mustard plant will adopt this type of behaviour in normal environmental conditions that experience by the mustard plant.

What part of the digestive system first causes chemical changes to food?
A. teeth in the mouth
B. saliva in the mouth
C. enzymes in the stomach
D. enzymes in the small intestine

Answers

Answer:

b. saliva in the mouth

Explanation:

saliva contains enzymes that help break down food

Saliva in the mouth causes the first chemical changes in the food. So the correct option is B.

What is saliva?

Saliva is a continuously present, viscous, colorless, opalescent fluid in the mouths of humans and other animals. It is made up of amylase, water, mucus, proteins, and mineral salts.

Saliva takes up food particles, bacterial cells, and white blood cells as it moves about in the oral cavity. Every day, a person's mouth excretes one to two liters of fluid.

The total amount of saliva is produced by three primary pairs of salivary glands as well as numerous smaller glands that are dispersed across the has included of the cheeks, lips, tongue, and palate.

The mouth naturally produces small amounts of saliva on a regular basis, but the introduction of food, or even just the scent or idea of it, will significantly enhance saliva production.

Salivation serves a variety of purposes. In order to aid in speaking and transform foodstuffs into a liquid or semisolid material that can be tasted and taken more readily, it primarily lubricates and moistens the interior of the mouth.

Therefore the correct option is B.

The inner ear is primarily responsible for balance, equilibrium and orientation in three-dimensional space. The inner ear can detect both static and dynamic equilibrium. Three semicircular ducts and two chambers, which contain the saccule and utricle, enable the body to detect any deviation from equilibrium. The inner ear (also called the labyrinth) contains 2 main structures — the cochlea, which is involved in hearing, and the vestibular system (consisting of the 3 semicircular canals, saccule and utricle), which is responsible for maintaining balance.

Not sure if we have to use the example of a beaver, but if wolves are increasingly being killed by people in an area, it would cause their population to decrease, and the population of animals wolves prey on, such as deer, would increase, disturbing the natural balance of the ecosystem.
