Answer:

Acid

Explanation:

Dead of dying lakes can be caused due to acid deposition. Acid deposition often termed as acid rain is the precipitation of acidic components like sulfuric or nitric acid in wet or dry form.

As the components in the deposition are acidic, when they come in contact with a lake, the acid content dissolves in the water and now the water of that lake become more acidic than normal. This causes a change in pH of the water in lake. As living organisms are sensitive to adverse pH changes, the acidic pH causes destruction of lives in the lake.

Plants are also living organism so they have also a range of pH optimum for their survival. Due to the acid rain the leaves for the plants get damaged and also the water that they absorb becomes acidic than normal so their normal physiology is affected.

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

As water and ions are lost through exercise, overall blood volume can decrease. To maintain adequate blood volume and blood pressure, renin is secreted to help in the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This will cause vessels to constrict and sodium and water to be retained by the kidneys.

A glycosidic linkage is analogous to_________ in proteins

luda_lava [24]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation:

Polysacharride are monomers of carbohydrates linked together by glycosidic bonds to form long chains, also proteins are polymers of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

Linear chains of carbohydrates are linked together by glycosidic alpha-1,4- glycosidic linkages(between the OH group of the first carbon if the 1st monomer and the OH group of the 4th carbon of the second monomer. The branched point are linked by alpha-1,6-linkages.

In proteins the alpha carboxyl group of one amino acid react with alpha amino group of another amino acid to form a peptide bond or CO-NH bridge. Proteins are made by polymerization of amino acids through peptide bonds.
