In lecture, I mentioned most lakes are phosphorus limited. However, the most severely eutrophic lakes are often nitrogen limited

, Explain how intense phytoplankton production can cause lakes to flip from being phosphorus limited to being nitrogen limited. Mention hypoxia, cyanobacteria, nitrogen-fixation, iron-redox reactions, sediment phosphorus release and denitrification.

Answer:

Phosphorus is essential for growth of plants and other organisms. When concentration of phosphorus mostly from high breeding rate e.g., pigs, cattle etc. rise in water it causes severe growth of plants and algae as well as phytoplanktons. As a results layers of phosphorus start to release phosphorus as well due to positive gradient. These reactions in water are iron-redox reactions that are crucial for the release of phosphorus.

When too much phosphorus accumulates, it produces a degrading growth feedback in plants, algae and phytoplanktons that then shift toward excessive nitrogen available from fertilizers and cause a flip from P to N. Cynobacteria now dominates and denitrification as well as nitrification takes place simultaneously.

Severe eutrophication induces hypoxia in water that cause a major damage to plants biodiversity in the environment.

<h2>Folkway norm </h2>

Explanation:

  • Folkways are the customs or conventions of daily life. They are a type of social norm expectations for how we act.
  • In sociology, folkways are generally discussed in contrast to mores because they are both types of social norms, though they vary in the degree to which they are enforced.
  • Folkways are mildly enforced social expectations, while mores are strictly held beliefs about behaviors.
  • Mores dictate right and wrong, while folkways distinguish between proper and rude behavior.

Assume that you have 1 mL of a solution of amylase (an enzyme) at a concentration of 15 mg protein/mL. Calculate the volume of d
lidiya [134]

Answer:

42,5 mL

Explanation:

We need to use the serial dilution formula beacuse we start with a stock concentrate solution and we need to prepare a new less concentrated one.

DF=\frac{Vi}{Vf}

<u>DF in the dilution factor, Vi is the initial volume and Vf is the final volume.</u>

The first step is to have the same measurment unit so we need to convert 345 µg to mg.

we know that 1 µg equals 0,001 g, hence:

345 µg = 0,345 mg

now the final volume is 0,345 mg  protein/ mL and the inital volume is 15mg protein/mL, both of them are in the same unit so we can use the formula

DF= \frac{15mg protein/mL}{0.345mg protein/mL}

DF= 43,5 mg protein/ mL

Now since the question said that we already have 1.0mL of the amylase stock solution we need to subtract that 1.0mL to the 43,5 mg protein/mL

43,5mL-1,0mL = 42,5 mL

So, we need 42,5 mL of diluting buffer if we want a final concentration of 345 µg protein/mL (0.345 mg protein/mL)
