Water at about 4°C (39°F) is more dense than water at 0°C (32°F). Why would the living organisms in the lake die if the water at

the freezing point was denser than the water at 4°C?
a)The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking sunlight necessary for photosynthesis.
b) The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients.
c)The freezing water would sink before it could freeze, preventing the lake water from freezing.
d)The freezing water would sink to the bottom and freeze the lake water from the bottom up.

The correct option is D.
If water density at freezing point is greater, the ice formed will sink to the bottom of the water body and freeze the water up from the bottom. This will surely lead to the death of everything that live inside the water.

If ssb is not present during dna replication, what would you expect to see?
In-s [12.5K]
A. SSB prevents reannealing of the separated strands, so strands would quickly reanneal and DNA replication cannot proceed.

Single-stranded binding proteins, or SSB, appear on the strands to separate the strands. Without a separation force, the strands would simply bind back together through hydrogen bonding.

How does fertilizer usage, soil degradation, and deforestation all tie in together?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<u>Fertilizer usage is linked to the agricultural practice</u> with an aim to <u>enhance the crop yield</u>. Inadequae use of fertilizers however causes soil degradation because <u>these practices overlook the spatial differences in soil fertility status </u>in agricultrual systems. Specifically,<u> not all soils require fertilizer application at the same levels</u>. A recommended approach is that, initially, there should be a proper study of limited nutrients in the soil and thereon only those nutrients should be given at controlled concentrations, which are limited. A major reason is that <u>high concentration of specific nutrients would affect the bioavailability of other nutrients</u> in the long run and could also lead to soil degradation (by affecting soil health status). <u>The microbial population in the soil could also change</u> that are typical for essential biogeochemical cycles. This is a very critical aspect in future future agriculture and to preserve the environment. <u>Deforestation</u> is a condition when the plants are cut excessively for agricultural purposes. <u>If soil degradation continues as discussed above, it would put a reduce the overall proportion of agricultrual land and cutting of naturally grown forests would be required. This would turn the green zones into agricultural zones (in future)</u>. This is a pressure on ecosystem and the consequences can be really harsh.
