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.

With regard to the process of neural transmission, a refractory period refers to a time interval at which?
dangina [55]

Neurotransmitters. With the regard to the process of the neural transmission, a refractory period refers to the time in interval in which. the Positively charged sodium ions are to pumped back to outside a neural membrane.

Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that your body can't function without it. Their job is to carry out chemical signals (“messages”) from one of the neuron (nerve cell) to the next target cell. The next target of the cell can be another nerve cell, a muscle cell or the gland.

Fortunately, the seven “small molecule” are neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, dopamine, the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), or glutamate, histamine, norepinephrine, and the serotonin) do the majority of the work.

In ________ conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus unconditionally elicits a reaction. For example, a bit of black pepper blow
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The answer is: Classical Conditioning.

Explanation:

  • According to the theory of Classical Conditioning, an Unconditional Stimulus can be defined as such a stimulus that is capable of triggering a response spontaneously and naturally without the requirement of a previous learning or knowledge about the stimulus.
  • A Neutral stimulus can be defined as such a stimulus which is responsible for drawing or focusing the attention of a person to a particular event.
  • A Conditional Stimulus can be defined as such a stimulus which is generated due to the repeated integration of an Unconditional stimulus to a Neutral stimulus. The repeated integration eventually results in the generation of a conditioned response.
  • In the given example, a bit of black pepper blown into the eyes for the first time is an example of unconditional stimulus. This stimulus initiates a spontaneous or unconditional response, that is, blinking of eyes.
  • But, when this unconditional stimulus gets integrated to the neutral stimulus (irritation in the eyes draws the attention of the person) repeatedly, it can result in the generation of a Conditioned Response (blinking of eyes whenever any foreign object gets into it).

Imagine there was no tilt to the earths axis and earths orbit was circular
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

If the Earth was not tilted on its axis, there would be no seasons. And humanity would suffer.

Explanation:

When a Mars-size object collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago, it knocked off a chunk that would become the moon. It also tilted Earth sideways a bit, so that our planet now orbits the sun on a slant.

Hope this helps!
