Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
The benefits were more species and also more resources.<span />
The answer would be 12 oxygen and 24 hydrogen
since the basic formula of carbohydrates is C6H12O6
Answer:
The correct answer is C. NADP⁺
Explanation:
NADP+ is the coenzyme that acts as the electron carrier during the photosynthetic process. The electron that is released from the splitting of water pass through the electron transport chain and at the end of the chain the electron is received by an electron carrier called NADP+.
So this passing of electron causes the transport of H ions in the thylakoid lumen from the stroma and when these ions come back through ATP synthase it forms ATP. Then these NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the CO2 into complex form. Therefore the correct answer is C. NADP⁺.
Answer:
Explanation:
Water's extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent,” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water's role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients
