Based on depth and distance from the shoreline, how many zones are found in ponds and lakes?
spayn [35]

Answer: Five

Each pond or lake have typically five zones in common.

1. The littoral zone: It is the shore area of the pond or lake. It is a transition zone between the dry shore area and the open water.

2.The limenetic zone: It is the open water area of the lake or pond. This is the portion of water that receives sunlight light.

3.The euphotic zone: It is the zone where, algae and other plants grows. Also, this zone favors the growth of aquatic animals such as fishes, because oxygen levels are higher as this zone traps the atmospheric oxygen.

4. The profundal zone: It is the zone located below the limentic zone. This zone is not penetrated by sunlight. The size of the zone depends upon the age and water clarity of the pond or lake. It exhibit low fish and plant population because of the lack oxygen present in this zone.  

5. The benthic zone: It is the zone which is found at the bottom of the lake or pond. It consists of organic sediments and soil. This zone involves decomposition activity of the dead organic matter obtained from dead algae, plants, fish and animal wastes.

If a person develops chronic lymphocytic leukemia, what leukocytes may be involved and how mature are they in the bloodstream? C
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

anemia- erythrocytes

easy bleeding- platelets

Repeated infections - leucocytes

enlarged lymph nodes- leucocytes

shortness of breath- erythrocytes

excessive bruising- Platelets

Explanation:

Cancer of the lymphocytes is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune system.

Platelets are tiny blood cell fragments that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.

Erythrocytes are red blood cells that travel in the blood. They carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be expelled.

Leucocytes- White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

How would a problem in mitotic division cause cancer
Mandarinka [93]

The most common form of cell division is called mitosis. It is used for growth and repair. During mitosis, a cell makes an exact copy of itself and splits into two new cells.

Mitosis is closely controlled by the genes inside every cell. Sometimes this control can go wrong.  If that happens in just a single cell, it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. These are cancer cells.

Is natural gas a limited resorce
Mkey [24]

Explanation: Natural gas is a limited resource. Natural gas is in the fossil fuel family and it's underground. I think it's pretty plentiful meaning that there's a lot in the United States of America. Many people use it for home heating instead of heating oil. Some people have oil trucks where the oil truck has to come and deliver oil to them.

So, natural gas is limited resource because it's a fossil fuel and it gives off emissions. It's in the ground and it's from years of decaying stuff. It's not like solar or wind power, it's a limited resource.
