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.

Even though rodents known as sugar gliders and flying squirrels are members of distinctly different groups of organisms and live
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

convergent evolution.

Explanation:

When organisms of distantly related species or groups are found in similar environmental conditions, they develop some similar features which are otherwise not present in their ancestral species. This is called convergent evolution. Convergent evolution also results in the development of similar traits in the distantly related organisms that are found in distantly located geographical regions having similar environmental conditions. Therefore, the presence of the same features in rodents and flying squirrels represent convergent evolution.

What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers
Artist 52 [7]
Fungi are decomposers, they obtain their food from dead organic matters. Fungi obtain their nutrient this way because they can not produce their own food. To produce their own food they need chloroplast in their cells to obtain energy from the sun. And they also need the ability to fix nitrogen which they will incorporate into the food they produce. Because they lack the ability to do this thing, they have to adapt to eating dead materials. <span />
