ANSWER:

The effects of increasing or decreasing the nutrient levels in an aquatic food webs is described in the explanation.

Explanation:

If the nutrient levels in an aquatic food web increase moderately then it will result in increased production of the primary producers and the consumers.

But if the nutrient levels are increased excessively, like in eutrophication, then the increased level of nutrients will result in overproduction of the consumers like fishes, etc. Hence, there will be a scarcity of resources like oxygen in the water to support them and this will lead to a decline in biodiversity of the aquatic food web.

If the nutrient levels are decreased, then there will be competition for resources among the species which will ultimately lead to the decline of some species from the aquatic food web.

If you have just eaten, your body will secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter cells. That way they will have the proper energy for their normal functions.
If you have not eaten for a while, your body is running out of glucose to feed the cells so it needs to secrete another hormone called glucagon. This hormone is the complete opposite of insulin because it breaks down glycogen, proteins and fats into glucose.

How does a coronal mass ejection (CME) affect the solar wind?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Corona is defined by the strong magnetic fields. When these strong magnetic fields confine solar atmosphere and produces violent bubble of gases then it is said to cause coronal mass ejection (CME).

When a CME passes through the solar wind, it causes production of high velocity solar energetic particles that follow magnetic field lines and passes through the space between the Sun and the Earth. The charged particle added by CME intensifies the solar wind.

Hence, option A is correct
