Answer: Valves in the veins

Explanation: The flow of the blood inside the body takes place through the veins and arteries. The oxygenated blood from the heart is supplied to the different parts of the body.

The blood flows from the capillaries to the venules and from there to the veins. The blood moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of the smooth muscles in the body.

Most of the blood moves against the gravity so there is a chance that it can backflow so to prevent this there are valves in the veins known as one way valves.

4. Use your knowledge about the relationship between nutrients and photosynthesis to explain the trends you observed in the data
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The trends go up in the presence of nutrients.

Explanation:

There is a great relationship between nutrients and photosynthesis because photosynthesis can't occur without without the availability of nutrients. Plants uses carbon from the atmosphere which is a nutrient whereas other nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium etc from the soil with the help of the roots. If these nutrients are available in the surrounding, the plant produced more food during photosynthesis because these nutrients are the food of plants so the trends go up in the presence of nutrients and lowers down in the absence or lower concentration of nutrients.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

E-You disagree because the resulting increase in phytoplankton at the surface would inhibit sunlight from penetrating into the water, thus inhibiting photosynthesis in the submerged plants.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is the process wherein nutrients specifically phosphorus and nitrogen are present in excess in a water body such as a lake. The increased concentration of nutrients promoter the growth of cyanobacteria and algae such as phytoplankton.

The increased population of phytoplankton in surface water reduces the oxygen availability and clarity of water for the organisms present in deeper layers.  Also, reduced clarity of water limits the amount of solar radiations penetrating the surface water to reach the deeper layers.

Increased nutrient levels of the lake would rather inhibit the growth of submerged plants due to reduced availability of sunlight as caused by presence of phytoplankton in surface water.
