Answer:

1. Eutrophication  - When fertilizers, animal waste, or sewage flow into waterways, causing algal blooms  and depriving other organisms of oxygen .

2. Biological  augmentation  - Adding natural predators to a damaged ecosystem .

3. Ecological  footprint  - The number of natural resources used to support an individual's lifestyle .

4. Biodiversity  hotspot  - Areas of high biodiversity that have been significantly impacted by human activities .

5. Acid  precipitation​ - The result of pollutants reacting with water in the air to form sulfuric acid, which falls  back to the earth's surface in rain, snow, sleet, or fog .

Explanation:

  • Eutrophication

The enrichment of an aquatic ecosystem by minerals and nutrients caused by animal waste, human activities like sewage flow, farming, etc that lead to fertilizer runoff into waterways causing algal blooms which results in the oxygen depletion of the aquatic ecosystem. Algal blooms block sunlight from getting into the water and deprives other organisms of oxygen, thus harming the plants and animals in the ecosystem. Some species of algae produce toxins that are harmful to human or marine life.

  • Biological augmentation

It is the most efficient way to clean and restore nature and natural resources like water bodies, soil, etc by decomposing pollutants and adding essential materials to a damaged or degraded ecosystem with the use of organisms such as bacteria. Examples include increasing the available nitrogen in soil by nitrogen-fixing plants, wastewater treatment, cleaning of ponds and lakes by adding bacterial cultures, enzymes, etc.

  • Ecological footprint

It measures the number of natural resources and how fast they are consumed to support people or an economy and also the waste generated, i.e., measurement of human demand on nature. For the calculation of ecological footprint, the usage of certain categories of productive surface areas such as forest area, cropland, fishing grounds, grazing land, built-up land, carbon demand on land, etc is tracked. Based on this information, the quantity of natural resources we have and how much of these resources are used is measured.

  • Biodiversity hotspot

It is a biologically fertile region that has a rich distribution of plants and animal species not found anywhere else and is highly threatened with destruction by human habitation. Examples of biodiversity include the Andes Mountains tropical hotspots, New Zealand archipelago, forest habitats, etc.

  • Acid precipitation​

It is any form of precipitation including rain, dust, fog, snow or hail with acidic components that possess a pH of about 5.2 or below, such as nitric or sulfuric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere. The fossil fuel emissions such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, etc react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acid precipitation. By reducing fossil fuel emissions, the effect of acid precipitation can be reduced.

Georgia [21]

Explore a wide variety of cells, from bacteria to human neurons, using a compound light microscope. Select a sample to study, then focus on the sample using the coarse and fine focus controls of the microscope. Compare the structures found in different cells, then perform tests to see if the sample is alive.

I need help with 4 &amp; 5 ASAP please
vichka [17]
One option is that the samples run through gel electrophoresis is too small to be recognized (shorter strands of DNA travel further through the gel and larger strands travel shorter). The other option in that the restriction enzyme did not cut the DNA in the proper spot or there was a mutation in the bases that allowed for a mistake in the cutting; that is why there are 800 base pairs in one sample (that's a lot) An example of a mutation is that lets say the restriction enzyme was supposed to cut at the second G in GGACC. But if that G was turned into an A, then the restriction enzyme wouldn't cut there.

For number 5, you might have 800 because of the restriction enzyme cutting it wrong, a mutation that allowed for the cutting to not take place, or a fault in the sample taking.

How long do meps urinalysis results take?
Ksivusya [100]

The urinalysis results for Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) are usually available within 72 hours. However, sometimes it will be ready in as little as 24 hours. When something is revealed in the test results, the system flags it for further review by the authorized command officials.
