olasank [31]3 years ago

Nitrogen and phosphorus are nutrients that are natural parts of aquatic ecosystems. Nitrogen is also the most abundant element in the air we breathe. Nitrogen and phosphorus support the growth of algae and aquatic plants, which provide food and habitat for fish, shellfish and smaller organisms that live in water.

Answer:

Nitrogen and phosphorus are the essential nutrients that promote the growth of aquatic life forms within water systems ( for instance, they promote the growth of algae).

But when there is too much phosphorus and nitrogen into water systems, it can speed up the process of eutrophication ( increase in the concentration of minerals and nutrients, which enhances the growth of algae, which causes algal blooms). Due to this, dissolved oxygen level is declined as not enough light penetrates in the water body. As a consequence, oxygen is not produced while it is consumed more.

This is hazardous for the other life forms such as fishes that are living in the water as not enough level of oxygen is left in the water system.

vovangra [49]

When Linnaeus developed his system of classification, there were only two kingdoms, Plants and Animals. But the use of the microscope led to the discovery of new organisms and the identification of differences in cells. A two-kingdom system was no longer useful. Today the system of classification includes six kingdoms.

What evidence is there that the endangered species act is causing harm to species????
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

There is strong and increasing evidence the Endangered Species Act is causing widespread harm to the species it is supposed to protect-to the extent the Act may be doing more harm than good. The Act makes otherwise normal and legal forms of land and resource use illegal, such as farming, home building and cutting timber. The Endangered Species Act’s severe penalties-$100,000 and/or 1 year in jail for harming a single species or even unoccupied habitat that is deemed suitable-turn species in to liabilities. As a result, landowners seek to reduce their liabilities in a number of ways.
