Answer:

B. runoff of nitrates from fertilizers applied to the golf course

Explanation:

Algal bloom is defined as the rapid growth of algae in freshwater or marine water. Algal bloom is green or yellowish in color that cover the top layer of water systems.

Algal bloom in the given case is caused by the excess of nutrients that is nitrates from fertilizers into waters and higher concentrations of nitrates causes uncontrollable growth of algae.

Algal blooms are harmful for environment as they may produce toxins and can block the sunlight from reaching the plants and animals in the water systems.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. runoff of nitrates from fertilizers applied to the golf course".

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between 17 kilomet
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is (2) - Stratosphere. Ozone is found in the stratosphere , a layer beginning between 6 and 10 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward to about 30 mile above the surface of he earth. The ozone that is found in the stratosphere absorbs most of he harmful ultraviolet sunlight and is thus called the "good ozone" Ozone is also found in the lower region of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. But the ozone here strongly reacts with molecules causing toxicity in plants. The ozone is therefore termed as "bad ozone."

Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins
Rainbow [258]

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.
