Sulfur emissions from industry combine with water in the atmosphere and form acid rain. A new factory is built very close to the lake that Josh visits often. By examining the table that shows what pH range different species can survive, Josh decides that the aquatic life will be affected by the changes in pH that the lake. Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are
A) perch and frogs.
B) mayfly and bass.
C) snails and clams.
D) frogs and salamanders.
The correct answer is option (C) snails and clams.
Acid rain is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with water molecules. Industries are one of the major contributors to acid rain. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in water.
A factory built close to the lake can cause acid rain which affects the pH of the lake. Any change in the pH of the lake has an effect on the organisms in it. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral and pH values below 7 indicates acidity and pH values above 7 indicates alkalinity. Organisms have an acid tolerance level beyond which they are affected and can die. Perch has an acid tolerance of up to pH 4.5 and frogs can tolerate an acidic pH of 4.0. The acid tolerance level of Mayfly and Bass is a pH of 5.5. Salamanders can tolerate an acidic pH of 5. Whereas, Snails and Clams have a very less pH tolerance of 6. They are highly susceptible to acidic pH.
Thus, Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are snails and clams.

Answer:</h2>
There are three types of meristems on the basis of position, i.e
- Apical meristem.
- Lateral meristem.
- Intercalary meristem.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
A meristem is the tissue present in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant where growth can take place. Generally differentiated cells(the cells other than meristems) do not divide and produce of a different type of cells.
Meristems are classified on the basis of their location in the plant:
- Apical meristem - these are the meristems located at root and shoot tips of the plant.
- Lateral meristem - these are the meristems located in the vascular and cork cambia in plants.
- Intercalary meristems - these are the meristems located at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases.
Result: There are 3 types of meristems.
Answer is Biogeochemical cycles.
In an ecosystem biotic (living) abiotic (non-living) components constantly interact each other. During these interactions, there is a transfer of nutrients between living organisms and the non-living environment. Thus, there is recycling of inorganic matter between living organisms and their non-living environment. This cycling of matter is called biogeochemical cycles.
Answer:
The answer is D: The hormone is released into the bloodstream where it can be transported to all cells with the correct receptors.
Answer: In ecosystems, matter and energy are transferred from one form to another. Matter refers to all of the living and nonliving things in that environment. Nutrients and living matter are passed from producers to consumers, then broken down by decomposers. Decomposers break down dead plant and animal matter.
