Answer: a. There were no federal regulations of water pollution at that time.

Explanation:  The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland was highly polluted by sewage and industrial waste from neighboring industrial firms in the 1960s. Inflammable materials were dumped on the banks and there was a film of oil on the water.  In June 1969, it caught fire from a spark on a train track and the resulted in a fire all over the river. It was not the first time this had happened but people had become more aware of the dangers of water pollution. The incident resulted in the launch of the Environmental Protection Agency. Before then, there were no federal regulations of water pollution .

starting at the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian and moving west place the three oceans in order as you would
jarptica [38.1K]

If we have the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian as a starting point, and we move towards west, than the three oceans that we will encounter will be in the next order:

1. Atlantic Ocean; lies between Europe and Africa from one side (eastern borders), and North and South America on the other side (western borders). It is in fact our starting point.

2. Pacific Ocean; lies between Asia and Australia form one side (western borders), and North and South America from the other side (eastern borders).

3. Indian Ocean; lies between Southeast Asia and Australia (as its eastern borders) and Africa as its western border, and on the north it borders with South Asia.

The northernmost ocean on our planet is the Arctic Ocean, which is lying around the Arctic circle.

The southernmost ocean is the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica with its waters.

Question 9(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) Which of the following actions might be taken to protect a species listed as endanger
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

II and III

Explanation:

A species is classified as endangered when it comes to a situation where the number of individuals within the species is so low that it might not be enough for it to reproduce properly and survive. Also, when species is listed as endangered, the chances are very high that the species will go extinct.

In order for the species to be saved, there are numerous methods that are used:

  • One thing is to make the hunting of the species illegal, usually making a very strict law that would fend off anyone tempted to do so.
  • Creating a special program for monitoring the species, where every individual will be tracked, constantly checked, and protected on the ground.
  • Any entry into the area where the species lives to be forbidden, except for scientific goals related to the species, and even for it to have a species permit.

Unfortunately, this doesn't always have the wanted effect, and despite all efforts some species go extinct, like it is the example with several species of rhinos in the past century. On the other hand, there are species that seem to be extremely resilient, and despite having very low numbers, they manage to survive, even if they don't have any particular rise in their populations, like it is the examples of the Iberian lynx and the Balkan lynx.

Very often, the method of breeding individuals in captivity of a species that is endangered is used. This is done so that there are controlled circumstances and no danger for the offspring, thus to maximize the chances of their survival. By using this method though, special programs are needed afterwards in order to prepare the young ones for life in the wilderness, which is not always successful.

How dose the process of waste removal in a unicellular organism compare to waste removal in a multicelluar organism ?
Lana71 [14]
The main difference in the process of waste removal between unicellular and multicellular organisms is the fact that unicellular organisms rely on only their membrane and organelles, the whole process is in inside the cytoplasm of the cell and once waste is formed, it is "packed" in special sacs called vacuoles and then, through the process of exocytosis they are being left out of the cell. On the other hand, multicellular organisms most often have specific organs that are in charge of the process of digestion, absorption and excretion or removal of waste.
