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?
"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.
Gametes that are the same in size and shape. Having gametes of different size and shape. Usually oogamous organisms have eggs and sperm. The female gonad in animals.
Hyperglycemia which means high Glucose level in the blood as a result of lack of insulin can damage the glomeruli. This interfere with the function of the glomeruli. Normally glomeruli fiters blood and remove nutrients to form urine but hyperglycemia will affect it's negatively and will make protein to leak from the blood into the urine. This can also lead to glomeruli called glomerulosclerosis.
