9966 [12]
The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>

How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
IRINA_888 [86]

These greenhouse gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere. When more of these gases are released, it contributes to global warming and the melting of many polar areas that could potentially cause a natural disaster in the future.

What features are seen in all cells?
Serga [27]

All cells share four common components: (1) a plasma membrane, an outer covering that separates the cell’s interior from its surrounding environment; (2) cytoplasm, consisting of a jelly-like region within the cell in which other cellular components are found; (3) DNA, the genetic material of the cell; and (4) ribosomes, particles that synthesize proteins. However, prokaryotes differ from eukaryotic cells in several ways.
