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.

Answer:

The activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase is prevented by caffeine. The caffeine prevents further dissociation of cAMP, which eventually increases the response within the body. The activity of neurotransmitters, that is, of noradrenaline or epinephrine, gets increased due to enhancement in response.  

This further enhances the activity of the heart, the rate of muscle contractions, blood pressure that further helps in delivering more oxygen to the brain, and other parts of the body. Thus, the inhibition of the enzyme cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase helps the athletes to prevent the wall.

Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree ONLY because they.
Talja [164]
Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree only because they occupy different nitches within the tree. So option "c" is the correct option as far as the given question is concerned. These birds may not be of the same species but they do have some similarities like they are very vocal and can be rarely seen but definitely heard. All species of warblers are insectivorous and also very small. As they are small so identifying them can be very difficult for a person. These birds are mostly dull greenish or brownish in color.
