Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.

Answer:

algal growth due to eutrophication

Explaination:

Eutrophication is where these nutrient rich compounds mix with nearby water sources and promote the growth of large amounts of algae. Algae go through respiration and take up the dissolved O2 in water which causes these areas to experience low O2 levels. Everything needs O2 to survive thus nearby organisms and plants die out creating dead zones.
