Why is water pollution a concern if water is continuously cycled through Earth’s systems?

Water pollution is still a concern, even though its cycled through the Earth's system continuously, for many reasons. Firstly, people still continue to dump toxic chemicals, and plastic/ garbage into the water. Plastic doesn't decompose, it continues to sit and pollute the ocean unless it is cleaned up. Then there are also the chemicals. Some of these chemicals don't dissipate, or clear out for many years. There is also oil that has been spilt into the ocean. Even though it was many years ago, it still lingers in the ocean, and is very difficult to clean up. Secondly, there are bacteria and algae that lives in the water, which makes it very harmful for us if not cleaned out. The Earth's system is unable to keep these organisms out of the water. Thirdly, there is constantly water, even though water goes through the cycle, there is still unfiltered polluted water that stays, and then pollutes the filtered water. 

felt like this needed a better answer, so here you are. I got 100% on edgenuity 2020 with this.

First of all, it makes algae grow, because pesticides and stuff provide too many nutrients. Algae needs a lot of oxygen and so the fish begin to die off because the algae is taking all the oxygen out of the lake. Next, it causes biodiversity to drop, meaning that species are beginning to get less varied. Water pollution harms the lakes and is a concern because the effects of it on species and the water will stay.

Hey there! :D

When we are talking about gametes, we can use a punnet square, or in this case, common knowledge. If two of the alleles for one phenotype are the same, we can infer there will only be two variations of the genotype. (because there are two dominant SS genes) We already know that "D" must be the answer. Firstly, there will be one allele for each gene, so there will always be an "S" and a "T" no "SS" or "tt" (when talking about gametes). That leaves us with B and D but there is no recessive "s" in the original genotype, so the answer must be "D".

I hope this helps!

timama [110]

Answer:

The suprachiasmatic nuclei enable the nervous system to respond to daily light/dark alterations through their stimulation of melatonin.

Explanation:

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body. Its function is to regulate the body's circadian cycle. This hormone is stimulated and begins to act by changing between a light environment and a dark environment. This stimulation interacts with the suprachiasmatic nuclei making the nervous system understand this change and luminosity of the environment and respond to the action of melatonin.

Horizontal lines, like the horizon. That's how I remember it, anyways. Or on a globe, latitude lines. My teacher always taught us "FAT-itude lines."
