<u>Answer</u>: B. An algal bloom

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Fertilizers manufactured from petrol or natural gas are called <em>artificial fertilizers</em> and they consist of a wide variety of nutrients like nitrates, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.
  • Normally, in the water bodies, the number of algae is very less due to less amount of nutrients present in it. However, when these artificial fertilizers reach the water bodies, they release their nutrients quickly which causes a spurt in the growth of algae known as <em>algal bloom</em>.
  • When the algae die, its decomposition by the microbes causes a decrease in the dissolved oxygen concentration in water and leads to the death of fishes.

What are some disadvantages of fossil fuels?
Fed [463]

Answer:

B. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable and may cause pollution.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable, meaning that they cannot be replenished sustainably. So, eventually, we will run out of them because they cannot be renewed.

Another disadvantage of fossil fuels is that they cause pollution. For example, the gasoline that is used by cars creates significant amounts of pollution every year.

Pollution is created by cars, factories, homes, and everything else that uses fossil fuels.

So, the correct answer is B, fossil fuels are nonrenewable and may cause pollution

Lh is released by the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate sertoli cells to produce sperm. (lo 13.2) true or false
harina [27]
This is false for a number of reasons. While LH (which stands for Leutinizing Hormone) is released by the anterior pituitary gland and can be present in both females and males, it play a more predominant role in females. Working closely with FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) a surge in LH begins the process of ovulation and the development of the Corpeus Leuteum.

In Males it is used both for the production of sperm but to stimulate the production of testosterone.
