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.

Will more air inside a basketball make it bounce higher?
marysya [2.9K]

The outcome variable, test variable, and controlled variable for each question is as follows:

  • outcome variable = bounce height; test variable = volume of air, and  controlled variable = basketball
  • outcome variable = cleaning property; =  test variable = type of cleaner, and  controlled variable = cloth
  • outcome variable = heat absorbed; test variable = fabric color, and  controlled variable = amount of sunshine
  • outcome variable =  plant size, test variable = seed size, and  controlled variable = sunlight
  • outcome variable = flower freshness, test variable = sugar added to water, and controlled variable = sunlight
  • outcome variable = adhesion of tape; test variable = differences surfaces, and controlled variable = paper
  • outcome variable =  volcano eruption, test variable =  ratio of vinegar to baking soda, and controlled variable = container or bottle

<h3>What are variables in an experiment?</h3>

A variable is any factor in an experiment that can be manipulated, controlled for, or measured.

There are three types of variables in an experiment:

  • Dependent variable or outcome variable
  • Independent variable or test variable,
  • Constant variable or controlled variable

The Dependent variable or outcome variable depends on changes in the independent variable.

An independent or test variable is the variable that stands alone and is not affected  by other factors in the experiment.

The constant or controlled variable is unchanged.

The outcome variable, test variable, and controlled variable for each question is as follows:

1. Will more air inside a basketball make it bounce higher?

  • outcome variable = bounce height;  test variable = volume of air, and  controlled variable = basketball

2. Do ''green'' cleaners clean as well as store bought cleaners?

  • outcome variable cleaning property; =  test variable = type of cleaner, and  controlled variable = cloth

3. Which colors of fabric absorbs most heat?

  • outcome variable = heat absorbed; test variable = fabric color, and  controlled variable = amount of sunshine

4. Do bigger seeds make bigger plants?

  • outcome variable =  plant size, test variable = seed size, and  controlled variable = sunlight

5. Does sugar added to water improve cut flower freshness?

  • outcome variable = flower freshness, test variable = sugar added to water, and controlled variable = sunlight

6. How do differences in surfaces affect the adhesion of tape?

  • outcome variable = adhesion of tape; test variable = differences surfaces, and controlled variable = paper

7. What ratio of vinegar to baking soda produces the best chemical volcano eruption?

  • outcome variable =  volcano eruption, test variable =  ratio of vinegar to baking soda, and controlled variable = container or bottle

In conclusion, changes done to the test variable results in changes in the outcome variable.

3. The human body has devised an excellent method to keep the body pH under control. a. What principle underlies the constant pH
kumpel [21]

The normal blood pH for adult humans is 7.40, and this pH value is vigorously defended at normal body temperature

Acid base Homeostasis is the method by which body keeps a constant ph
pH is kept under check via different systems
1. Chemical system :bicarbonate buffer system(explained below )
Respiratory component :
2. Respiratory Component: The second line of dense is rapid consisting of the control the carbonic acid concentration in the ECF by changing the rate and depth of breathing by hyperventilation or hypoventilation. This blows off or retains carbon dioxide (and thus carbonic acid) in the blood plasma as required

3.Metabolic component : third line of defense is slow, best measured by the base excess,eand mostly depends on the renal system which can add or remove bicarbonate ions to or from the ECF.Bicarbonate ions are derived from metabolic carbon dioxide which is enzymatically converted to carbonic acid in the renal tubular cells.There, carbonic acid spontaneously dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.When the pH in the ECF falls, hydrogen ions are excreted into urine, while bicarbonate ions are secreted into blood plasma, causing the plasma pH to rise.The converse happens if the pH in the ECF tends to rise: bicarbonate ions are then excreted into the urine and hydrogen ions into the blood plasma.




Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base; this enables them to readily absorb excess H+ or OH–, keeping the system’s pH within a narrow range.

Maintaining a constant blood pH is critical to a person’s well-being. The buffer that maintains the pH of human blood involves carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), and carbon dioxide (CO2). When bicarbonate ions combine with free hydrogen ions and become carbonic acid, hydrogen ions are removed, moderating pH changes. Similarly, excess carbonic acid can be converted into carbon dioxide gas and exhaled through the lungs; this prevents too many free hydrogen ions from building up in the blood and dangerously reducing its pH; likewise, if too much OH– is introduced into the system, carbonic acid will combine with it to create bicarbonate, lowering the pH.
Example: Antacids, which combat excess stomach acid, are another example of buffers.

Which is not a component of the balanced and restorative justice model?
andrew11 [14]

Deconstructionism is not a component of balanced and restorative justice model.

Balanced and restorative justice is termed as the theoretical model and attempts to span tension between treatment and retribution. In this process victims takes an active role. Offenders take full responsibility for their actions.

Seize an opportunity to do right from wrong and redeem themselves before their community and before their eyes. Restorative justice focuses on helping offenders from future offences.
