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.

atroni [7]

Answer:

Control environment is the most important procedures for getting good results.

Explanation:

The control environment for an experiment is the essential part for getting good results. In control environment, there is no or less chances of infestation from the external environment which can cause the results of the data more acceptable. So the scientists prefers laboratory for performing experiment as compared to outer environment. So in my opinion for getting better results, the control environment is the most necessary experimental procedure.

Yes, for getting better results I think there is a step that could have been added to the procedure is to follow the international standard procedures for taking the readings by the experimenter.

Explain the meaning of the symbols as they are used in this expression.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

  • A, B, C and D are: elements or molecules
  • A and B are: reactants
  • C and D are:  products

Explanation:

The expression "A + B <--> C + D" represents a chemical equation. A chemical equation represents the "mixture" of molecules or elements that will react and form other molecules and elements, so we can say that A, B, C and D represent molecules or elements.

But not only that. In a chemical equation, the elements and molecules that are before the symbol "<-->" represent the reagents in the equation. Therefore, A and B are the reagents. The elements or molecules found after the symbol "<-->" are the products of the reaction. Therefore, C and D are the products.
