When microbial action during decomposition in aquatic ecosystems removes too much oxygen, the body of water experiences .

Biology

pashok25 [27]3 years ago

The body of water experiences eutrophication.  

The process of eutrophication takes place primarily in ecosystems with gradual changing waters, mainly in deep lakes. In the depths of the lake, where deposition of dead algae takes place, the aerobic bacteria, which feeds on them proliferate that in turn consumes more amount of oxygen.  

Though in the absence of enough circulation of water that is usually found in the case of deep lakes, the bottom of the lake is poorly oxygenated and the bacteria eventually deplete the oxygen found in the deep layers of water. Thus, they can no longer degrade all the dead organic matter and gets accumulated in the sediments. The lake is now considered to be aging.

Use evidence from the Grants’ research to explain how natural selection leads to evolution. (10 points)
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Grant's research on finches on the Galapagos islands.

Explanation:

Grant's research was made on medium-sized finches on the Galapagos islands showed evolutionary processes in real-time. He showed that due to the drought there is a decrease in the number of small and soft seeds that were finches major food source.

It is known that there are different beak sizes in this finch species, the finches with larger beaks could feed on tough and large seeds and survive in such case of the drought-induced decrease in food availability. Due to this natural selection and adaption the number of larger beaks in finches is increased over the real time.
