You and your friends go to the beach for vacation. You all walk down to the beach to go swimming. When you get there, you see the water is murky and green, and there are algae blooms floating on top. If it is excess nutrients which are feeding the algae blooms and lowering the oxygen content in the water, that process is called:_______.a. nutrient cycling.
b. nitrification.
c. eutrophication.
d. hypoxia.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The process is called EUTROPHICATION. The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a type of environmental pollution where by there is an increase in nutrient salts of a water body which can lead to structural changes in the affected aquatic ecosystem. These changes includes:

--> Increase in production of algae: this effect causes algae blooms which makes the water murky, greenish and unpleasant for certain activities such as swimming.

--> Decrease in aquatic life: the presence of excessive growth of algae which are often degraded by microorganisms. When the rate of degradation of the algae by microorganisms is greater than that of oxygen regeneration a hypoxic state occurs which is harmful to aquatic life example fishes.

Explanation:

Suppose we stock a pond with 100 fish and note that the population doubles in the first year (with no harvesting), but after a number of years, the population stabilizes at what we think must be the carrying capacity of the pond: 2,000 fish. Growth seems to have followed a logistic curve. a. What population size should be maintained to achieve maximum yield, and what would be the maximum sustainable fish yield? b. If the population is maintained at 1,500 fish, what would be the sustainable yield?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information,

The first process is to determine the initial growth rate by using the formula:

[tex]R_o = \dfrac{In(2)}{t_d}[/tex]

where;

The initial growth rate(constant) = [tex]R_o[/tex] ; &

the doubling time = [tex]t_d[/tex] = 1 year

[tex]R_o = \dfrac{In(2)}{1 \ year}[/tex]

[tex]R_o[/tex] = 0.693 / year

Now, we move up to the net stage to find the growth constant by using the formula:

[tex]r = \dfrac{R_o}{(1 - \dfrac{N_o}{K})}[/tex]

where;

[tex]N_o[/tex] = population of fish in the pond = 100

[tex]R_o[/tex]  = The initial growth rate(constant)  = 0.693 /year

K = carrying capacity = 2000

Then;

[tex]r = \dfrac{0.693 \ /year }{(1 - \dfrac{100}{2000})}[/tex]

[tex]r = \dfrac{0.693 \ /year }{(1 - 0.05)}[/tex]

[tex]r = \dfrac{0.693 \ /year }{(0.95)}[/tex]

r = 0.730 / year

a)

Now, the maximum yield can be evaluated by using the expression:

[tex]= \dfrac{rk}{4}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{0.730 \times 2000}{4}[/tex]

= 365 fish per year

Also, the maximum sustainable yield is said to be half of the carrying capacity suppose that the population growth obeys logistic curve;

i.e.

[tex]N' = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2000[/tex]

N' = 1000 fish

b)

If the population is maintained at 1500 fish;

The sustainable yield can be calculated by using the formula:

The Sustainable yield = [tex]r\times N (1 - \dfrac{N}{K})[/tex]

The Sustainable yield = [tex](0.730/ year ) (1500) (1 - \dfrac{1500}{2000})[/tex]

The Sustainable yield = 1095 × 0.25

The Sustainable yield = 273.75 fish per year

The Sustainable yield ≅ 274 fish per year

Population size should be maintained to achieve maximum yield and Sustainable yield if population is maintained at 1,500 fish are 364.7 , 273.525 fish per year

Sustainable yield:

Given that;

Stock in start = 100 fish

Double in 1 year

Capacity of pond = 2000 fish

Find:

Population size should be maintained to achieve maximum yield

Sustainable yield if population is maintained at 1,500 fish

Computation:

Growth rate = ln₂ / 1

Growth rate = 0.693 per year

With no growth constraint r = [tex]\frac{0.693}{1-\frac{100}{2000} }[/tex]

With no growth constraint r = 0.7294 per year

A. Population size should be maintained to achieve maximum yield = [tex]\frac{0.7294 \times 2000}{4}[/tex]

Population size should be maintained to achieve maximum yield = 364.7 fish per year

B. Sustainable yield if population is maintained at 1,500 fish = [tex][(0.7294))(1500)][1-\frac{1500}{2000} ][/tex]

Sustainable yield if population is maintained at 1,500 fish = 273.525 fish per year

In rigor mortis, muscle tissue becomes locked in position because myosin heads are tightly attached to neighboring actin thin filaments. This lock-up is prevented in living muscle because ordinarily myosin is rapidly displaced from the thin filament by:_________.A. binding of a new molecule of ATP B. hydrolysis of ATP C. release of ADP after ATP hydrolysis D. release of phosphate after ATP hyrdolysis

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. binding of a new molecule of ATP.

Explanation:

Actin and myosin are complementary filaments present in muscle, actin is thin and myosin is a thick filament, these two filaments are responsible for the movement by muscle contraction and relaxation. Actin and myosin head shows great affinity towards one another.

Myosin heads are tightly attached to neighboring actin thin filaments due to its affinity to actin, however, myosin at other pockets also show a huge affinity for ATP. If myosin is bound to actin the affinity for ATP is changed and if new ATP bounds to the empty pockets it changes the conformation of myosin and prevents lockup or binding of the actin-myosin protein.

Answers

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, it should be noted that the idea of blocking the drainage, which could cause waterlogging (since the water will not be able to leave the field), is a type of irrigation that ensures there is sufficient amount of water for the plants to grow during a growing season. Although, some plants do not grow well in environments like this (in the case of waterlogging) because this environment lowers oxygen level in the root o the plant (caused by the water at the top of the soil).

If a cell in G1 has 20 chromosomes, then at the end of meiosis I there will be _________ chromosomes in each daughter cell, and __________ sister chromatids in each daughter cell.

Answers

Answer:

10 chromosomes

20 chromatids

Explanation:

Meiosis is the process by which sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes for sexual reproduction. Meiosis, which reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half, occurs in two stages namely: meiosis I and meiosis II.

Meiosis I is where the actual reduction in chromosomal number takes place because homologous chromosomes are separated in this stage. For example, a cell in G1 that has 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of meiosis I.

Since, DNA replication occurs in the S-phase, sister chromatids are formed for each chromosome. Hence, there would be 20 sister chromatids joined together by a centromere at the end of meiosis I.

What happens to the actin and myosin during a muscle contraction?

Answers

Answer:

Once the myosin-binding sites are exposed, and if sufficient ATP is present, myosin binds to actin to begin cross-bridge cycling. Then the sarcomere shortens and the muscle contracts. In the absence of calcium, this binding does not occur, so the presence of free calcium is an important regulator of muscle contraction.
