Answer;

Fertilizers contain nutrients, especially phosphorous and nitrogen, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Since fertilizers help plants grow, they also cause algal blooms in aquatic ecosystems.

Explanation;

Fertilizers are commonly used substances that aid in the growth of many different fruit and vegetable species. Unfortunately, these substances are often toxic, or create undesirable organic reactions.

Fertilizers reach marine ecosystems through runoff. When it rains, the growth aids in the soil drift. These substances eventually make their way into rivers and streams. From there, they flow through the water and are eventually carried to the ocean.

Chemicals in fertilizers can runoff and hurt/kill organisms that are living in aquatic ecosystems.

Ilya [14]

The student who caught the cold caused by this specific Rhinovirus was exposed to the exact same Rhinovirus 18 months later. Memory B cells of the immune system will protect her from getting the same cold again.

In immunology, a memory B cell (MBC) is a type of B lymphocyte that forms part of the adaptive immune system. These cells develop within germinal centres of the secondary lymphoid organs.

Memory B cells circulate in the blood stream in a quiescent state, sometimes for decades. Their function is to memorize the characteristics of the antigen that activated their parent B cell during initial infection such that if the memory B cell later encounters the same antigen, it triggers an accelerated and robust secondary immune response.

Memory B cells have B cell receptors (BCRs) on their cell membrane, identical to the one on their parent cell, that allow them to recognize antigen and mount a specific antibody response.
