Answer:

Hello! The correct answer should be "<u>Excess phosphorus from the runoff of fertilizer and animal waste that ends up in ponds."</u>

Explanation:

    An algal bloom is mostly caused by the presence of large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus present in water. These nutrients are washed away from lands and farms that are heavily riddled with nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers.

Rain acts as an agent by washing these leachable nutrients from the soil into water bodies such as rivers and streams, which eventually end up in large reservoirs such as lakes and oceans.

These nutrients are also deposited into waterways through drainage systems. Due to poor sewage treatment, untreated raw sewage finds its ways into water bodies, and because it is rich in nitrogen compounds such as nitrates and ammonia, it causes algal bloom.

Water pollution, particularly the discharge of poorly treated or untreated industrial waste into waterways, leads to the release of raw toxic waste into water systems. Since it contains nutrients and compounds such as nitrogen, lead, and phosphorus, the outcome is the dense growth of algae.

In which type of environment might water soluble rocks such as limestone or dolostone become ridge formers?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
I would say that the most likely environment for these two rock types to be ridge formers would be an arid climate like a desert where there was little water to dissolve. Also, even in a normal temperate environment, dolomite can form a very resistant ridge or cliff former as is the case with the Palliser Formation in Banff Park which forms a pronounced cliff which is very extensive.

What is the first step in the life cycle of a plant that reproduces sexually?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be A sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.

In sexually reproducing organisms including plants, life starts as a single-celled zygote which is formed by the fertilization of sperm and egg.

The zygote then divides through mitotic division to form an embryo.

After fertilization In angiosperms, the ovule matures to form seed and ovary matures to form fruit.

In gymnosperms, zygote develops into a new sporophyte.
