After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.
Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.
Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:
- Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
- The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
- The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
- Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia
Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

Answer:
Explanation:
In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions. This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including anaerobic respirations and fermentations.
Organic matter that is not consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed by anaerobes.
The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
correct awnser is D i got it right on the same question
Answer:
The correct answer is Glycocalyx, ribosome and cell wall.
Explanation:
Glycocalyx is mainly found in bacteria that makes a protective covering outside the cell wall in the form of capsule of bacteria and provide protection to bacteria from host immune cell.
Bacterial ribosomes are different from human ribosomes. Bacteria contain 70s ribosome while humans contain 80s ribosome so ribosomes are potential targets for many drugs present today.
Bacterial cell contain cell wall which is made up of peptidoglycan or lipopolysaccharide but human cell does not contain a cell wall, therefore, many drugs are designed to destroy cell wall of bacteria like penicillin.
So glycocalyx, ribosomes, and cell wall can be potential targets for Dr. Ehrlich's "magic bullets" due to significant difference or absence from humans.
