Thermal pollution kills fish primarily because ?

Biology

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

The correct answer is option (a) warm water holds less oxygen.

Thermal pollution refers to the increase in the temperature of water bodies like lakes, rives or oceans due to the discharge of heated liquid or hot air. This affects the aquatic organisms as they have a specific temperature requirement for their survival. This also affects the other parameters of the water body, of which, dissolved oxygen has a higher impact.

The warm temperature of the water body holds less dissolved oxygen than the water at the normal temperature. This gradually creates an anaerobic environment inside the water body killing fishes and other aquatic organisms.

Thus, thermal pollution kills fishes primarily because warm water holds less oxygen.

Thermal pollution is when the water temperature goes from one extreme to another whether cold to hot or hot to cold, so I would say B.

Allow for the identification of many toxins in a small amount
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

O4) Screening tests

Explanation:

The screening test is used to make early detection of diseases in order to apply effective treatments. For example, a screening blood test enables the identification of toxins and/or drugs in the patient's system in a relatively low amount of time (generally 24 hours). This bioassay is used for the toxin determination of the effluent sample (i.e., a sample collected and analyzed to evaluate system performance) to the tested species. The screening test generally consists of applying two treatments (i.e., one effluent sample and one control).

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
