What is the best reason for assessing a neonate weighing 1,500 g at 32 weeks’ gestation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)?

Answer:

In the given case, assessing neonate for ROP is generally done as the neonate is at risk of multiple factors.

Explanation:

ROP or retinopathy of prematurity is a condition in which the eyes of the premature babies get affected. In the condition, the development of unusual blood vessels takes place over the retina, which can eventually result in blindness.  

In the given case, a neonate who weighs 1500 g at 32 weeks of gestation is assessed for ROP. ROP is related to multiple risk factors like prematurity, high arterial blood oxygen levels, and low weight of the baby at the time of birth, that is, less than 1.5 kg. In the initial phases of acute ROP, the constriction of the undeveloped retina vessels takes place, which gets followed by vascular closure. This eventually can result in irreversible capillary endothelial destruction.

Answer: Water Quality.

Explanation:

The figure of the unhealthy ecosystem shows the industrial runoff into the water. This run off contains nitrogen and phosphorous in excess amount.

This excess nutrients leads to the growth of the algal bloom in water which in turn reduces the amount of oxygen which is easily seen in the the water.

This growth is caused due to poor water quality, and if the industrial run off will be reduced the quality of water will improve.

How do aquatic factors affect the distribution of aquatic life (include both biotic and abiotic factors)?”
earnstyle [38]

(a) Aquatic ecosystems are rich in diversity. The life inside water is largely influenced by various abiotic factors. The abiotic factors are the chemical and physical components of an environment that affect the organisms living there. The primary abiotic factors that affect the life underwater are temperature, light and availability of oxygen.

(b) Oxygen available to the aquatic organisms is a detrimental factor. If less oxygen is available underwater aquatic animals will not be able to respire and die.

Light is also an important abiotic factor for underwater organisms especially for the aquatic plants. the aquatic plants underwater will not be able to make their food by photosynthesis if proper light is not available.

Temperature also plays an important role. Too low or too high temperature affects the metabolic activities of the organisms.

Depth of water body affects the availability of light and oxygen to the aquatic organisms. Shallow water bodies have light available to more aquatic organisms.
