A massive bluegill fish kill was observed in a lake near a power plant during the winter months. It was determined that the plan

t was releasing large amounts of hot water into the lake. Which of the following explains what likely caused the death of so many bluegills in the lake?
A: The increased water temperature caused dissolved oxygen levels to increase, leading to greater metabolic activity of catfish, which outcompeted the bluegill fish for resources.
B: The influx of warmer water caused an unexpected increase in the metabolic rate of the bluegills, which led to increased physiological stress from limited resource availability.
C: Rates of organic matter decomposition increased, which lead to an increase in dissolved oxygen and increased bacteria levels.
D: Photosynthetic output of aquatic plants decreased because of the higher temperature, which lowered the amount of carbon dioxide available for bluegills to carry out cellular respiration.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option D is incorrect, as increased photosynthesis would increase oxygen supply present, not carbon dioxide supply.

Option C is incorrect, as increased decomposition would increase carbon dioxide released and oxygen present is reduced, not increased.

Option A is unlikely as if this were the case, increased oxygen levels would enable bluegill fish to survive as well.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Spores and seeds have basically the same function-dispersal-but are vastly different because spores (D) are unicellular; seeds are not.

<h3>What are  unicellular organism?</h3>

A unicellular organism can be regarded as  single-celled organism, which are those organisms  that consists of a single cell.

This is different from   multicellular organism  because it consists of multiple cells however  Organisms  can be selected base on  general categories which are  prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.

It should be noted that Spores and seeds have basically the same function-dispersal-but are vastly different because spores (D) are unicellular; seeds are not.

Therefore option D is correct.

Each transfer RNA requires at least four specific recognition sites that must be inherent in its tertiary structure in order for
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The options are not included.

But the sites are;

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA

synthase.

Attachment of the specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.

Explanation:

Transfer RNA is a type of RNA that help to translate messenger RNA sequence into protein. Each tRNA have two major areas; the anticodon and region for attaching specific Amino acids.

tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosomes during mRNA deciding.

The four specific recognition sites of trna that must be inherent in it's tertiary structures in order for it to carry out it's role are;.

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA synthase.

Attachment of specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Option (A) is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

If the hypothesis is correct then we shall be higher than Fst in the rest of the genome in the area environment  the cold-shock protein in the genomic region surrounding the cold-shock gene, except for the Fst.

  • Cold shock components are those product uses that are produced in cold and defend against cold stress. Fst is a gene of ice, present offshore of proteins from cold shock. During cold stress, the fist gene expression increase by several folds to increase cold shock protein production.
  • Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
