The correct answer is A.
Water runoffs usually carry nutrients especially fertilizers from off the landscape and washed them into the wetlands and other water bodies. Phosphorus is a common ingredient that is present in all fertilizers. Phosphorus acts as a pollutant in these water bodies and put the organisms living in the water bodies at risk. High concentration of phosphorus causes rapid growth of plants in the wetlands and lead to depletion of oxygen leading to the death of organisms living in the wetlands.
Due to this occurrence, the Florida government has taken steps and enact several laws to ensure that the phosphorus pollution is arrested in order to preserve the wetlands.

Each red blood cell carries about 250 million molecules of hemoglobin. If every hemoglobin molecules is attached to four oxygen

MArishka [77]

Answer: One red blood cell will be able to carry one billion molecules of oxygen.

Explanation:

If each red blood cell carries 250,000,000 hemoglobin and every molecule of hemoglobin binds four oxygen molecules, the number of oxygen molecules carried by one red blood cell is 250,000,000 x 4 = 1,000,000,000. That is 1billion oxygen molecules is been carried by one red blood cell. Hemoglobin is a protein present in the red blood cell which binds and transports oxygen to the cells throughout the body. Hemoglobin has four binding sites for oxygen. The binding of one oxygen to its binding site on hemoglobin increases the binding affinity of subsequent oxygen molecules to the other binding sites on the hemoglobin. This phenomenon is known as cooperativity.

An image is formed due to reflection of light by a plane mirror. In a completely dark room there is no light so no image will be formed by the mirror placed in the room. Hence we will not be able to see our image in a mirror placed in a completely dark room.
