In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that those using it could end up with gastrointestinal diseases. The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.
Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas. In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.
Short-term memory holds information for 15 to 25 seconds and stores it according to its meaning rather than just as mere stimulation. However, it is not really true that short-term memory can be retained only for this short amount of time. It has been shown in different studies that it can be held even longer.
Out of the following given choices;
<span>A. </span>cause their nest-guarding activity to drop
<span>B. </span>change male characteristics to female characteristics
<span>C. </span>disrupt the estrogen receptors
<span>D. </span>cause the males to become even more aggressive
