The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>
<span>Muscle color is related to muscle specialization because it indicates whether muscles are used more for aerobic or anaerobic metabolism. Aerobically respiring muscles that do work over a long period of time have more red oxidative fibers, while anaerobically respiring muscles that do work in bursts have more white glycolitic fibers.</span>
Hydrogen ion, or H-, creates water when combined with a hydroxide ion, OH+.
The 'formula' for water is H20, two hydrogens and an oxygen.
I hope that I helped but if this still makes no sense, or if I haven't explained it as well, then please don't hesitate to ask further questions. Thank you.
Answer:
Firstly, the partial pressure of nitrogen (78%) is crucial to breathing purposes. Without this pressure, the lungs will burst and animals cannot survive.
Secondly, nitrogen is required for the formation of amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and other organic compounds that are necessary for the survival of living organisms. Principally, in the atmosphere, nitrogen is present in the form of molecular nitrogen (N2). N2 is fixed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form nitrates and nitrites. These molecules are then used in biochemical processes to produce proteins (amino acids) and other organic compounds. In the absence of nitrogen, these processes could become seize of limited significantly thus affecting life overall.
Thirdly, nitrogen and its derivatives act as greenhouse gases that maintain the Earth's temperature within a range that supports life. Yes, the increased abundance of nitrous oxides is not good because of acid rain and other issues, however, still, the presence of nitrogen is important for life on this planet.
