I Need Help With This Question Why Would You Expect A Dead Zone To Start Near The Mouth Of A River, Where

Answers

Answer 1
Water pollution comes from many sources. One of the biggest sources is runoff. Runoff moves over the surface of the land and picks up chemicals such as fertilizer (contains vital nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium - NPK) from agricultural fields, lawns, and golf courses. It carries the chemicals to bodies of water. The added nutrients from fertilizer often cause the excessive growth of algae, creating algal blooms which are temporary phenomena because the large population of algae use up the available nutrients (Figure 2.4c). When the algae die, the decomposing bacteria use up oxygen in the water so that other aquatic organisms cannot survive. This has occurred over large areas of the ocean, creating dead zones, where low oxygen levels have killed all ocean life. A very large dead zone exists in the Gulf of Mexico. Measures that can help prevent these problems include cutting down on fertilizer use. Preserving wetlands also helps because wetlands filter runoff.

According to the American Council of Exercise, overweight people have, on average, greater than 30% body fat. In graph B, what do you notice about the amounts of hydrogen and methane in subjects with healthy body fat percentage compared to subjects who were overweight?

Answers

Answer:

Subjects in the “normal” group had a normal amount of hydrogen, 20 ppm  or less, and a normal amount of methane, 3 ppm or less.   If subjects had greater amounts than the normal amount of hydrogen (≥20 ppm) detected but had less than the normal amount of methane (≤3 ppm), they were considered hydrogen positive (represented by the “Hydrogen Only” bar), while ≥3 ppm of methane detected but ≤20 ppm of hydrogen was considered methane positive (represented by the “Methane Only” bar).  If subjects had greater than the normal amounts of both gases (≥20 ppm of hydrogen and ≥3 ppm), they were considered hydrogen and methane positive (represented by the “Methane and Hydrogen” bar).

Answers

Answer:

1: Mold 2: Cells 3: do all jobs 4: bacteria 5: producing offspring 6: Taxonomy 7: Healing a broken arm 8:obtain energy, produce offspring, maintain their structure 9: soil (I think) 10: food, water, air, and a place to live

Answer:

1. lung.

2. cells.

3. do all jobs for survival.

4. bacteria.

5. producing offspring.

6. Taxonomy.

7. a cell dividing.  

8. obtain energy, produce offspring, and maintain their structure.

9. soil.

10. food, water, air, and a place to live.

Explanation:

1.  all of the other options are organisms, while a lung is an organ.

2. All living things are made of cells

3. All unicellular organisms must be able to perform all the functions necessary for life. Meaning do all the jobs needed for survival.

4. Bacteria is the organism listed that is able to cause an infection or contagious disease.

5. A fish laying hundreds of eggs is an example of producing offspring. While it could also be an example of maintaining structure, a fish cannot obtain energy by laying eggs. So, the best answer is producing offspring.

6. Taxonomy's definition is the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics.

7. a cell dividing is maintaining structure. After growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. So, this is the best option for the question.

8. The second option is wrong, because not every organism plays video games. The 4th option is wrong, because not every organism builds their own home. And finally, the first option is incorrect, because plants do not physically eat they obtain their energy through photosynthesis. So, the correct option is the 3rd one.

9. Soil is not needed for all living organisms, but the other options listed are necessary.

10. the second and third option are incorrect, because not every living thing needs a parent. The first option is incorrect, because not every living thing needs sunshine and it does not list the other necessary components. So, the correct answer is the last option. And a place to live can also mean an appropriate environment.

Answer for #8:

Cold water is heavier than warm water, and because of that it sinks. Ice dissolving into the water cools the ocean, causing it to drown. This creates a wave by which cold water is drowning near the poles, which forces the water into the depths of the ocean, leading the entire ocean to swirl. This cold, thick water is then forced back up against the west shores of the continents where it can be warmed.

If John and Sam both push on a boulder with a force of 30N, but in opposite directions, what will happen to the boulder?

Question 4 options:

The boulder moves towards Sam

The boulder moves away from John and Sam

The boulder moves towards John

The boulder will not move.

Answers

The boulder will not move.

The boulder will not move, because the net effect of the force is reduced if two people apply the same force to the object, hence option D is correct.

What is the effect of the force?

Force is defined as applying strength or energy to applying on the object cause it creates motion. It is not in any object force is applied to the object by another person.

If John and Sam both push on a boulder with a force of 30N, having no effect on the boulder because they are applying the same force boulder but in opposite directions.

If any force is applied to the object but in the opposite direction, the net force is the difference between them, so it reduces the net force.

Therefore,  the boulder will not move, due to the net force being reduced if the same force is applied to the object in the opposite direction.
