Answer:

1) Adverse effect on aquatic life also increase in biological oxygen demand.

2) Biomagnification of pollutants

Explanation:

Water pollution is caused by unwanted addition of waste, animal debris, industrial effluents etc in a water body.

Water pollution may cause many direct and indirect harmful effects on environment. To name a few:

a) Decrease in level of oxygen leading to death of aquatic organism like fish.

Increase in biological oxygen demand.

b) Biomagnification: a pollutant may enter food chain from water and some pollutant may enter food chain contaminating other members of food chain.

Fluorine (F) and bromine (Br) are in the same group on the periodic table. How do atoms of these elements compare when they form
mojhsa [17]

Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.

Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.

Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.

Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.

Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

When a cell is in a solution where the concentration of solute is the same in the cell as in the solution, the solution is calle
Elodia [21]
The answer to this question would be: isotonic

An isotonic solution has a same tonicity/concentration to the cell. This kind of solution will not cause osmosis to occur so it wouldn't shrink or swell the cells. This is why an isotonic solution is safer for the cells. The normal saline solution is isotonic to human cells and used frequently in medicine to replace body fluid.

How do genetic factors influence the formation of "dead zones” around creosote bushes?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Genetic factors contributes to the formation of the dead zones is by their ability to expand their abilities that enables them to spread and contribute to the formation of the dead zones. These dead zones are made when the oxygen are low where it is necessarily important for the aquatic life, if the oxygen needed is depleted or too low, instead of supporting aquatic life, dead zones are created and factors contribute to these occurrences with their ability to expand.

Goryan [66]
The process which has taken place is called CRYSTALLIZATION.
Generally, crystallization is the process by which solid crystals are precipitated from solution. Crystallization can also occur when a crystal melt or when a crystal get deposited directly from a  gas, although these cases are rarer compare to crystals forming from solutions.
