What two substances are we concerned about over-nourishing our water sources and ultimately leading to eutrophication?

Biology

The correct answer is - nitrogen and phosphorus.

The nitrogen and the phosphorus are the two substances that cause most of the eutrophication. It is good for the organisms that live in the water when these two substances are available as they are very important nutrients, but if the optimal amount is surpassed than it can be devastating. When there's high quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water it makes it much more rich in nutrients that it should be. That kind of situation is the best for the algae, which start growing all over the place, quickly covering the water and becoming the dominant life form. As that happens, the organisms that use photosynthesis will die out because the Sun will be blocked, and the algae  will also contribute to a big reduction of the oxygen in the water too. The end result being totally destroyed ecosystem that has been overtaken by algae.

How did DDT nearly cause the bald eagle to become extinct? Also, what surface water pollution issue has caused problems in Ohio
ioda

<span>Pesticides sprayed on plants were eaten by small animals, which were later consumed by birds of prey. The DDT poison harmed both the adult birds and the eggs that they laid. The egg shells became too thin to with stand the incubation period, and were often crushed. Eggs that were not crushed during incubation often did not hatch, due to high levels of DDT and its derivatives.<span> </span></span>

DNA replication is Group of answer choices conservative. a one-step process. semi-conservative. not carried out by enzymes. not
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is: semi-conservative.

Explanation:

DNA replication is an important process in which the DNA is duplicated before cell division so each daughter cell can have a copy of genetic material.

DNA replication is <u>semi-conservative because one strand of DNA is new and the other one is the old strand</u>. To replicate itself, the DNA double helix is opened, and then each strand serves as a model for the new strands.

DNA replication is <u>not a one-step process</u>, as it takes several complicated steps in which <u>lots on enzymes participate</u> (like DNA polymerase and DNA helicase).

DNA replication is <u>also carried by prokaryotic cells</u>, though it's a much simpler process.
