Many lakes in the United States are suffering from periodic algae blooms, which can be thought of as an infection of the lake. A

lthough the algae are naturally-occurring in the lake, when adjacent farm fields are over-fertilized with diammonium phosphate, the run-off deposits these nutrients in the lake, allowing the algae to grow without limit. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the overgrowth of algae?
a. The algae are heterotrophs.
b. The nitrogen in the fertilizer is in the ammonium form, the preferred nitrogen source of most microbes.
c. The phosphorus in the fertilizer is in the phosphate form, the preferred phosphorus source of most microbes.
d. The carbon source for these algae is not limiting in lakes.
e. Lakes have sufficient micronutrients for algae to grow

Answer:

A. The algae are heterotrophs

Explanation:

Algae which are heterotrophic obtain nutrients from complex organic substances. Thus, this type of algae is a consumer. This is in contrast to autotrophs, which form their own organic substances from simple inorganic substances. They produce their own energy

The diammonium phosphate which run off until the lake nourish these algae and make them grow without limit.

Answer:

The incorrect answer is the letter a. The algae are heterotrophs

Explanation:

Algae are characterized by being single-celled or multicellular eukaryotic organisms that, for the most part, have a cell wall formed of cellulose and some other substance such as agar, carrageenan, calcium carbonate, etc. In addition, algae are autotrophic, that is, they are capable of photosynthesis and synthesize organic molecules (food) from inorganic substances and sunlight energy.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.
