Biology

Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago

"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can survive in a body of water.
 Shellfish require a high level of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.

Age why does the skeletal system become more brittle and susceptible to breakage?
dusya [7]

After age 50, bone breakdown (resorption) outpaces bone formation and bone loss often accelerates, particularly at the time of menopause.

What is Osteoporosis ?

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced.

Osteoporosis is a disorder where your bones become brittle, fragile, and easily breakable as you age because certain minerals begin to leach out of them. Because estrogen, which helps keep bones strong, is lost during menopause, women over 50 are particularly at risk for osteoporosis.

Describe the movement of particles within solids, liquids, and gases.
Paladinen [302]
Particles in solids move ever so slightly. They are not completely at rest, but since they are so packed together it’s difficult for them to move. That’s what makes a solid a solid. Particles in liquids slide and move past each other fairly quickly, and have space to move. Particles in gases are the most spread apart, and because of this, they move the quickest. Hope this helped.
