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.

After phosphates and nitrates have entered a water
frosja888 [35]

After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.

Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.

Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:

  • Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
  • The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
  • The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
  • Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia

Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

joja [24]

Answer:

Groups 4 to 7 are most likely to be undergoing the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Since the four proteins used p16,  p18,  p21, and  p27 are inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), their absence indicates that the cell is undergoing mitosis - the cell cycle is regulated by CDKs. In the absence of these inhibitors, the cell cycle moves on forward. Because the bar for DNA replication is longer in the case for groups 4 to 7, it is indicative of the fact that these cells have gone through the mitotic phase.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
