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.

As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels ________, the blood pressure ________,
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels decreases, the blood pressure drops, and the velocity of blood flow slows.

The size of the arteries progressively decreases as they branch out from the major arteries of the body. Once the arteries are the size of the arterioles, the resistance to blood flow increases and velocity of blood flow slows then blood pressure drops.
