After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.
Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.
Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:
- Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
- The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
- The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
- Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia
Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

Plants, animals, and microorganisms
Answer:
<h2>Carbohydrates </h2><h2>Amino acid
</h2><h2>Nucleotide
</h2><h2>lipid
</h2>
Explanation:
1. Starch is a polymer of Carbohydrates - polymeric carbohydrate having of large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds to form starch. Starch is found in plants, and it is the stored form of fuel.
2. Amino acid are joined by peptide bonds and the polymeric form of amino acid is known as - protein. Proteins are synthesized according to the sequence of codons in mRNA
3. Nucleic acid: is synthesized by polymerization of nucleotide.
4. Triglyceride are polymer of lipids.
Answer: Species A is diploid, it means 2n=36, the haploid number is 36/2=18. Species B is triploid, it means 3n=36, then the haploid number is 36/3=12.
Explanation:
A chromosome is an ordered bundle of DNA associated with proteins such as histones, and it is found in the nucleus of the cell. Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans, for example, have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 of them are autosomal pairs, and one pair are sex chromosomes, which indicates the sex of a person. Each parent contributes one chromosome from his or her autosomal pair and one from the sex pair, so that the offspring get half of their chromosomes from their mother and half from their father.
<u>A haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes (n), whereas diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n) and triploid cells have three sets (3n). In the example of humans, a diploid cell is a somatic cell and has 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs). And a haploid cell, a gamete for example, has 23 chromosomes. </u>
If two species of plants carry 36 chromosomes, and species A is diploid, it means 2n=36. Then the haploid number is 36/2=18. Species B is triploid, it means 3n=36. Then the haploid number is 36/3=12.
