Explain the process of eutrophication.

Biology
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
4 0
Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water is enriched with excess nutrients as a result of frequent runoffs from land; this result in excessive growth of some plants on the surface of the water.
When fertilizers are washed away from the land surfaces into the rivers as a result of water erosion, the fertilizers usually add nutrients to the water and bring about the growth of plants such as algae on the surface of the water. The plants that are growing on the surface of the water affect the organisms living in the water negatively because the plants will reduce the amount of light that get to the surface of the water.

A client with severe burns and injuries from a bomb blast is admitted in the emergency unit. which triaging priority is preferab
mafiozo [28]
The patient should be triaged in "critical", color coded as red. This is because a bomb blast can lead to multiple gross organ damages such as fractures (pelvic fractures most commonly produce the greatest amount of internal hemorrhage which can lead to shock), liver and spleen rupture that can cause hemorrhagic shock, and burns that can predispose the patient to fluid lose and electrolyte imbalance which then, if untreated, will lead to kidney and cardiac compromise. 

Other triaging priorities for other patients include urgent and non-urgent cases.

How are long term and short term environmental changes similar? and how are they different?
netineya [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Environmental changes occurs from time to time, we have the short term changes that do not last for a very long time and the long term changes that last for a while. Accumulate of short term changes can extend to long term as some of the long term effects are as a results of short term changes in the environment.

Short term environment changes can be favourable to some organism and adversely affect others. Raining season causes increase in growth and development of most plant species but a long period of drought and dryness makes its hard for some plant to strive while some plants can strive well in long period of drought. This makes the two changes different, the both have individual effects on plants response.
