Explain how invertebrates can be used to monitor water pollution?

Biology

Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

Many invertebrate animals cant survive in water that has been polluted and resulted in a lowering of oxygen concentration so the presence or absence indicates the extent to which a body of water is polluted.

Lichens can be used to indicate air pollution as they grow exposed to places such us rocks and tree barks. They need to be efficient at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there. Rain water contains enough nutrients to keep them alive. Air pollutants dissolve in rain water especially sulfur dioxide can damage lichens and prevent them from growing. This makes them a natural indicator of air pollution.

Answer:

explain how invertebrates can be used to monitor water pollution?

According to research by entomologist and hydrologist, invertebrates such as insects (dragonflies, stone flies) are used as an indicator to know whether a water body is clean fro consumption or not. The presence of these insects validates such water body to be fit while the presence of some insects indicates decay and pollution of such water body. Polluted water body serves as a breeding site for insects such as anopheles

Which of these statements best describes a similarity between photosynthesis and dissolving in the sea?
Mama L [17]

The correct answer is D. Both absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The process of photosynthesis is carried out using atmospheric carbon dioxide by green plants. Many gases including carbon dioxide are dissolved in seawater. Some of the carbon dioxide gas remains in dissolved state but most of the carbon dioxide is reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Dissolved gases in seawater make balance with atmosphere by mixing of the surface by wind and waves. Therefore, both photosynthesis and sea water take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What is true about two different cell types in the body?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Read It and Understand

Explanation:

There are over 200 different cell types in the human body. Each type of cells is specialised to carry out a particular function, either solely, but usually by forming a particular tissue. Different tissues then combine and form specific organs, where the organ is like a factory where every type of cell has its own job.

What happens when a cell transcribes a viral gene?
MrMuchimi
When a cell transcribes a viral gene, the viral genetic information becomes into a viral protein. these viruses are made up of nucleic acid, protein, and some lipids. These are the viruses that attack specific cells, however, the body's antibodies are there to protect.

What is cell reproduction
vodomira [7]

Cell reproduction is the process by which cells divide to form new cells. Each time a cell divides, it makes a copy of all of its chromosomes, which are tightly coiled strands of DNA, the genetic material that holds the instructions for all life, and sends an identical copy to the new cell that is created.

Probably wrong. Sorry
