Recent studies indicate that the addition of iron to areas of the ocean could increase productivity. Increased productivity coul

d be beneficial for many reasons. What may be one of the largest negative impacts that could occur with "fertilizing the oceans with iron"?
a. Increased productivity could result in higher respiration rates and regions of depleted oxygen in the ocean.
b. Increased productivity would provide more biomass for subsequent levels on the trophic pyramid.
c. Increased productivity could result in depletion of nitrogen available in ocean waters.
d. Increased productivity would be matched by increased detritus falling to the ocean floor, burying many deep-sea organisms.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The addition of iron to the ocean can result in increasing the productivity of the ocean. This will affect the life of the organism living in their.

The organism that lives in water respire and use oxygen for this process. Once the productivity of the ocean is increased there is a lack of oxygen in ocean.

The biological demand of the ocean will increase and the organism will be limited in the water as there will not be adequate amount of oxygen left for the organism to consume it because of the increased productivity.

hence, option A is the correct where the increased productivity will lead to increased oxygen demand and its rate will be depleted.

What is the percentage of calories were absorbed by your system??? Helpppp
denpristay [2]
Calories in and of themselves aren't a reliable way of describing energy density in food. It doesn't reflect what actually happens in your body (look up bomb-calorimeter for how people figure out calorie content in foods). So based on this, the question is a bit of a non-sequitur. But if you disregard that and go with a regular answer, it really depends on what kind of calories you're ingesting because foods get digested in a function of different amounts of time. Carbohydrates will get digested and converted into glucose almost immediately - being very close to 100% energy efficiency. Fats are the slowest as your body needs to produce bile in order to digest it - not enough bile = undigested fat = unused calories. Proteins are turned into either amino acids (not an energy source per se) or converted into glucose like carbs but instead through gluconeogenesis which is a less efficient form of glucose conversion than carbohydrates (since your liver/kidneys need to produce the enzymes to convert it). The efficiency of protein is likely in the range of 50-60% calories. This is just the tip of the iceberg though - your metabolism also plays a part as to how much and when these calories are either used, stored, and excreted by your body. Ever got the meat sweats? That's your body burning excess energy through thermogenesis when you eat too much protein. So it really depends why you're asking because the answer will differ for each scenario.
