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.

The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is _____ kcal.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is 1636 kcal.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Any increase to the metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase the basal metabolic rate.
