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.

Most fat-soluble nutrients are absorbed in the _______ system. Question 19 options: vascular lymphatic neurological adrenal
Leya [2.2K]

Most fat-soluble nutrients are absorbed in the Lymphatic system.

<h3>What is Lymphatic System?</h3>

A network of tissues, veins, and organs known as the lymphatic system collaborates to transport lymph, a colorless, watery fluid, back into your circulatory system (your bloodstream).

Your body's arteries, smaller arteriole blood vessels, and capillaries each day carry about 20 liters of plasma. About 17 liters are then returned to the circulation through veins after providing nourishment to the body's cells and tissues and collecting their waste products. The remaining three liters permeate your body's tissues via capillaries. The lymphatic system gathers this extra fluid, which is now known as lymph, from your body's tissues and transports it to various locations before returning it to your bloodstream.
