The correct answer is Eutrophication.

When a body of water become enriched with nutrients and minerals and induces growth of algae and plants is referred to as eutrophication.

The process of eutrophication can result to water body depletion.

When there is increase in nutrient levels there is increase in phytoplankton in the water body.

Discharge of nitrates which contain sewage, fertilizer, and detergents in aquatic system may induce the eutrophication.

An apartment complex has a floor plan with the dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20BTU's (British Thermal U
marysya [2.9K]

The dimensions of the room is not given. Lets assume a value and calculate BTU accordingly.

Answer and Explanation:

BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° F.

In other words,BTU's measures the amount of heat an AC (or any other cooling unit) can remove from a room per hour. Higher the BTU, the more powerful the cooling.

Calculation:

Lets assume that a room is 10 feet wide and 14 feet long.

  • Step 1

Calculate the size of the room by multiplying the height of the room with its width:

size of the room= 10 × 14

                          = 140 square feet

  • Step 2

Then multiply the size of the room that you obtained in step 1 with 20 BTU per square foot, in order to get the minimum BTU's required for AC to cool a room,

140 × 20= 2800

 2800 BTU cooling capacity is required.

The probability of a ___________ channel being open is controlled by the membrane potential.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

andriy [413]

Answer: Asexual

Explanation: Since only one parent is needed, asexual reproduction is more beneficial. It is a "simpler" (in terms of not needing two mates to fornicate) and causes species to reproduce at a faster rate
