The correct answer is option A, Nitrogen causes producers to grow.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for the growth of plant. Soil is the major source of nitrogen for plants and trees. During heavy rainfall the soil enriched in nitrogen flows into the nearby water bodies and causes its nutrition enrichment due to which the dense phytoplanktons grow in the water bodies. Such dense growth of plants in standing water such as pond or lake disturbs the water qualities such as dissolved oxygen, its temperature and pH, produce foul smelling water etc. Poor quality water is unable to support aquatic life and thus the species living in it die out

Which molecules of the adaptive defense system provide humoral immunity by circulating freely in the blood and lymph, where they
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adaptive immune defense system consists of lymphocytes like B-lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes. B-lymphocytes provides humoral immunity while T- lymphocytes provide cell-mediated immunity to the body.

99% of lymphocytes circulate freely in the blood and lymph. B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma B cells and B memory cells when interact with antigen presented by T helper cells.  

Then plasma cells secrete antibodies in the circulation which binds to extracellular antigens through antigen-binding site. Then the bounded antigen is recognized by receptors present on phagocytic cells. This receptor binds the Fc region of antigen bounded antibody and destroy the antigen by phagocytosis.

Choose ALL of the phases of matter listed<br> that are able to flow:<br> gas<br> liquid<br> solid
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- gas

- liquid

Explanation:

     Part of the definition of gases and liquids is the ability to flow, so this answers your question.

     Why does this not apply to solids? The cells in a solid are closer together with less room for movement, so they do not "flow" like gasses or liquids. You can think of the device you are asking this question on versus the water in the ocean.

<u>Note</u>: Gas can still flow, but it does not flow the same as water. It depends on what you are being taught for if gas flows or not.

-> Liquid flows from high to low only, while gas can flow in all directions

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

     ★ Also please leave the rating you think I deserve (It helps other users as well as myself)
