1. water temperature of lakes and rivers rise - nuclear power plant. Water is used as a coolant to maintain the temperature of nuclear reactors. and the resulting water is warmed up.

2.carbon monoxide pollutes air - </span> internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines release fumes of carbon monoxide.
<span>
3. fly ash of soot in air - </span>coal-burning power plant. Coal burning plants release ash produced in small dark flecks.<span>
4. soil contamination of water resources - </span>DDT spraying in agriculture. DDT washes off agricultural land into water resources.
<span>
5. sewage contamination of water resources -</span>population density. Urban areas produce a low of sewage, which is usually treated before being disposed of in rivers or the sea.
<span>
6. excess plant growth in the lakes or rivers - </span>phosphate detergents. In many rivers, algal growth is limited by phosphate. Once excess phosphate is released to rivers, exponential algal growth can occur.<span>
7.reduces farmland and plant life to cleanse air - </span>urban sprawl. Urban sprawl uses up land for houses in an inefficient manner that could have been used for farming or natural areas.
<span>
8. studies air,water, and land - </span>ecologist. Ecology is the study of <span>relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.</span><span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C) P and Q have similar binding properties
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <u><em>Enzymes are biological catalysts that speeds up chemical reactions. Substrates are substances that are acted on by an enzyme to form a product.</em></u>
- <u><em>An enzyme catalyzed reaction occurs when the substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme to form and enzyme-substrate complex. </em></u>
- <em><u>Substrate P and Q are structurally similar which means they are in a position of binding and fitting in the active site of an enzyme. The strong structural similarity means that the binding properties of these two different substrates may be similar. </u></em>
- <em><u>Formation of similar products or results when acted upon by an enzyme mean they are similar in terms of their binding properties, and thus the production of similar product.</u></em>
From the data, the manatee population obviously increased after the regulations went into affect and the deaths due to watercraft reduced from 25 to 8 after the regulations were put into effect. The population increased by 165% from 1980=-2010 and the drop in deaths due to watercraft decreased by
68%.So this is not a direct correlation but at least it shows that the watercraft deaths decreased significantly. Since the population increased at a greater rate then it may be that more females were spared so could mate and give birth to that many more manatees.
