In lecture, I mentioned most lakes are phosphorus limited. However, the most severely eutrophic lakes are often nitrogen limited
KIM [24]

Answer:

Phosphorus is essential for growth of plants and other organisms. When concentration of phosphorus mostly from high breeding rate e.g., pigs, cattle etc. rise in water it causes severe growth of plants and algae as well as phytoplanktons. As a results layers of phosphorus start to release phosphorus as well due to positive gradient. These reactions in water are iron-redox reactions that are crucial for the release of phosphorus.

When too much phosphorus accumulates, it produces a degrading growth feedback in plants, algae and phytoplanktons that then shift toward excessive nitrogen available from fertilizers and cause a flip from P to N. Cynobacteria now dominates and denitrification as well as nitrification takes place simultaneously.

Severe eutrophication induces hypoxia in water that cause a major damage to plants biodiversity in the environment.

Which of the following are part of the body’s first line of defense against pathogens?
Fed [463]

The answer is "D"

The body's first line of defense is also known as Innate immunity and incudes mucous membranes. Both the intact skin and mucous membranes of the body offer a high degree of protection against pathogens.

 A good example is the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. It is lined up with cilia and covered with mucus. The coordinated beating of the cilia drives the mucus up to the nose and mouth where the trapped bacteria can be expelled.

(Lymph nodes and white blood cells belong to the second line of defense, not the first)
