Answer:

The introduction of a foreign substance, usually harmful, into a water source

Explanation:

Anything that doesn't naturally belong in the water

Examples: plastics, scrap metal, fertilizers

leaves, sticks, and cadavers are more of a grey area. They are part of nature but if it clogs the water source, drastically changes the ecosystem or are dumped there, then they are considered pollution.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Electron transport chain

This stage produces most of the energy ( 34 ATP molecules, compared to only 2 ATP for glycolysis and 2 ATP for Krebs cycle). The electron transport chain takes place in the mitochondria. This stage converts the NADH into ATP.The citric acid cycle is a series of chemical reactions that removes high-energy electrons and uses them in the electron transport chain to generate ATP. One molecule of ATP (or an equivalent) is produced per each turn of the cycle.

What are the steps involved in Mendel's experiments on garden peas?
Jet001 [13]

Steps involved in Mendel’s experiment of garden pea plants include

A. Derivation of pure breeds as parent plants.

B. Emasculation of plants

C. Bagging of plants.

D. Artificial pollination of the plants.

E. Detailed study of the plant characteristics to statistically study the results.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Gregor Johann Mendel was a very famous monk who experimented with the pea plants to find out the reason behind the inheritance of the characters of the plants. As he experimented with plants having pure character, he led the plants to self pollinate themselves for about 3 to 4 generations to take out only the pure breeding traits.

As he got them, he planted them and emasculated the flowers to prevent the self pollination. He then bagged the flowers to prevent unwanted pollination. He then artificially pollinated the flowers with desired pollens only.

At the end, he studied the phenotypic characteristics of the plants in a very detailed manner to get the best possible results. He also took around 1000 pea plants to get the most error free results.
