How could heavily fertilized lawns contribute to cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and oceans? A. Run-off from the lawns will get i

nto the water system, leading to large amounts of nitrogen that can be used by cyanobacteria in water systems. B. The large amounts of nutrient-rich grass that are created will be mowed down, with grass clipping bits eventually washing into sewer systems and into larger bodies of water. These grass clippings will serve as a nutrient source for cyanobacteria, leading to blooms. C. Large amounts of fertilizer will lead to excessive production of greenhouse gases (like CO2) from grass in lawns. Excessive CO2 production will lead to large blooms of cyanobacteria in water systems. D. They won't-the two systems are completely unrelated. How could grass in lawns contribute to effects in lakes and oceans?

Answer:

fits letter B

Explanation:

"Nutrient pollution is the process where too many nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, are added to bodies of water and can act like fertilizer, causing excessive growth of algae. Nutrients can run off of land in urban areas where lawn fertilizers are used."

This process is also known as eutrophication, and this causes dead zones, as the one in the Northern Gulf of Mexico by the coastal development and the run-off nutrients of the Mississippi River.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: etiolation of plant growth in shade, with fast growing cell without chloroplasts. Out of shade, cell differentiate again to produce photosynthesising cells

Explanation: It is a subjective decision as to what is ‘best’. Good examples are plant responses to changes in the nutrient supply.

when soil nitrogen is depleted some plants, such as legumes, grow nodules on their roots, with cells that release chemical signals to attract nitogen fixing bacteria.

Lack of light induces etiolation in many plants. New cells elongate and develop without chloroplasts, with rapid cell division exhibiting gravitropism, extending upward. When they grow beyond the shade area, cell differentiation changes again, to produce photosynthesising cells.

Match the human activity with how it intensifies the greenhouse effect . (Sorry couldn’t get a better photo)
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

1: Burning of fossil fuel

2: Deforestation

3: Waste disposal in landfills

Explanation:

Burning of fossil fuel is the one of the primary cause of increased level of carbon dioxide in air. Deforestation refers to uncontrolled cutting down of trees which in turn increases the level of carbon dioxide in air. Plants are the natural resources that remove the carbon dioxide from air through the process of photosynthesis. Waste disposals in landfills emits methane which is one of the greenhouse gas.
