Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.
Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.
Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.
Producers and consumers rely on CELLULAR RESPIRATION to release energy stored as ATP.
Cellular respiration is the process by which both plants and animals obtained the energy stored in food in form of ATP and used it for their live processes. Cellular respiration involved mixing the food compounds with oxygen in order to release energy.
Answer:
It is voluntary and striated.
Explanation:
There are three types of muscle tissues: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is a tissue that is under the control of the voluntary nervous system and attached to the bones by tendons. In the microscope, striated muscle cells have a stripe-like appearance, it is for that reason that they are called striated. Moreover, both cardiac muscle tissue and smooth muscle tissues are under involuntary control.
Cation-exchange chromatography is used when the molecule of interest is positively charged on the neutral pH. The stationary phase is than negatively charged and positively charged molecules are loaded to be attracted to it. So, positively charged peptides will elute the last.
Answer:
The correct answer is ''gravity.''
Explanation:
Tropisms are movements or changes in posture that a living being normally makes in response to a continuous environmental stimulus. Plants have hormones that respond to the gravitational impulse of our planet. Gravity deeply influences their growth and development (positive geotropism) and plants have been found to bend in response to gravity due to redistribution of the plant hormone auxin at the root tip, so that auxin is redistributed to the underside of a root that grows when it is rotated 90 degrees, the stems will still grow upward, away from the center of the Earth (negative geotropism), just as roots will always grow in the reverse direction (positive geotropism).
