utrients. The scientist samples the water for nutrient levels and finds that there is 2.5 ug/L of Phosphorus and 27ug/L of Nitrogen. What can be said about the water?
A) The water is nitrogen limited
B) The water is phosphorus limited
C) The water has an adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited

Answer:

C The water had adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are single- cell organisms that live in oceans.

They require nitrogen, phosphorus and trace amount of iron to survive.

From the scientist's results after testing the water for nitrogen and phosphorus,there are reasonable amount of these elements.

Therefore insufficient iron in the water is the reason why he could find plenty phytoplankton in the ocean.

Some activities that are generally considered to be work are not called work by scientists. Explain why.​
Flura [38]

Answer:

Certain things we think of as hard work, such as writing an exam or carrying a heavy load on level ground, are not work as defined by a scientist. The scientific definition of work reveals its relationship to energy—whenever work is done, energy is transferred.

For work, in the scientific sense, to be done, a force must be exerted and there must be motion or displacement in the direction of the force.

4vir4ik [10]
Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as 
<span>According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
</span>A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.  
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq)          →          H+(aq)    + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq)           →          Na+(aq)       +     OH-(aq)
