The correct answer is option a) Amount of Nitrogen.

The variables are the factors, which can be changed in an experiment. The variables can be of two types, dependent variable and independent variable.

The independent variables are those factors, which are independent of any changes. In this case, the amount of nitrogen Sarah administer is not dependent on any factor, so, it is an independent variable.

Whereas, the height of plant, nodules and root growth is dependent on the amount of nitrogen the plant get. SO, these are dependent variables.

The only independent variable in this experiment is the amount of nitrogen Sarah uses. All of the other variables are dependent on other factor and processes, but Sarah controls the amount of nitrogen that she uses for each plant.

Enzymes can be denatured unfolded by what environmental factors
erastova [34]

Enzymes can be denatured unfolded by heat or chemicals.

<h3>What are enzymes?</h3>

Enzymes are proteins that are found in living organisms which are able to increase the rate of chemical reaction and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.

The factors that can denature enzymes include heat and chemicals. This is because:

  • Higher temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce its activity, or prevent it from working. When the enzyme loses its shape, it is said to have been denatured.

  • These environmental factors can alter the pH level of the enzyme.

Therefore, for an enzyme to perform its functions, the external factors that affects it's activities must be normal and favorable.

Sedaia [141]

Answer: Here are three reasons if they don't help just tell me.

1. Changes in water temperature can affect the environments where fish, shellfish, and other marine species live. As climate change causes the oceans to become warmer year-round, populations of some species may adapt by shifting toward cooler areas. Oceans are becoming more acidic. 2.  Oceans are becoming more acidic. The acidity of seawater is increasing as a direct result of increasing carbon dioxide levels in the air from human activities, like burning fossil fuels. Concentrations of carbon dioxide are higher than in the last 800,000 years. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water, changing seawater chemistry and decreasing pH (making seawater more acidic). The ocean’s increased acidity results in thinner shells and more shellfish die as they become easier for predators to eat. 3.  More severe storms and precipitation can pollute coastal waters. Warmer oceans increase the amount of water that evaporates into the air. When more moisture-laden air moves over land or converges into a storm system, it can produce more intense precipitation—for example, heavier rainstorms. Heavy rain in coastal areas can lead to increases in runoff and flooding, impairing water quality as pollutants on land wash into water bodies. Some coastal areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay, are already experiencing “dead zones” – areas where water is depleted of oxygen because of pollution from agricultural fertilizers, delivered by runoff. The phrase “dead zone” comes from the lack of life – including fish – in these waters.

Pavlova-9 [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The relationship between the themes of “place” and “human-environment interaction” is that the characteristics <span>of “place” include things like economic activity, architecture, and culture, all of which are human elements that alter or can be influenced by the environment. </span>

Answer:

A. A year of drought followed by four years of average or above-average rain

Explanation:

In the first year the Finches population goes down drastically meaning that a disaster must have occurred that would negatively affect the population, a drought. The next four years the Finch population increases steadily so the average rainfall must have been average or above average according to the graph.
