Answer:

C. Application of toxic fertilizers to crops

Explanation:

Water pollution is defined as the contamination of water due to several human activities. Several causes of water pollution include use of fertlizers, construction of turbine, industrial waste, and sewage dumping.

Use of toxic fertizers directly affects the loss of water quality as fertilizers and pesticides are made up of chemicals such as phosphate and ammonia. The fertilizers and pesticides precipitate through the soil and mix with ground water that directly affect the quality of water. Residues of chemicals mix with river water due to flooding, excess irrigation, heavy rainfall and enter in the food chain. These chemicals are then have lethal effect in living organisms.

Hence, the correct answer is C.

Answer:

The water is hypotonic to the body of the patients

Explanation:

<em>Pure water is generally hypotonic to the red blood cells in the body of humans. Hence, if a person is hooked up to an IV line that included pure water, the red blood cells in the person's body will take-in water, become turgid, and then start lysing. This will make the person become sick or even cause death in severe cases.</em>

Why is it necessary to model the concept above?
aniked [119]

Answer:

You did not write the concept, so i will try to answer in a general way.

Why sometimes we really need to model concepts?

Well, sometimes the things are really complicated, or we just do not have the knowledge or tools to fully understand them.

Here is where the models came to be handy, we can somewhat "simplify" the things, and explain them with models.

For example, the movement of a particle as the wind pushes it can be really complex, so this can only be explained with a model.

Now, once we have a model (supported by theory and experiments) we can start to investigating furthermore in the given subject.

So for example, we could model how a given therapy acts on a given disease, and with that model, we could extrapolate the effects of the therapy in a similar disease (for example, testing how radiotherapy acts on a given tumor in some organ, can give information on how the same therapy can act on other types of tumors)

Concluding, models simplify some concepts, which allow us to understand them and work better with them
