How do nitrates get into the surface water

Biology
1 answer:
loris [4]4 years ago
3 0
Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.

Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.

Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. the sympathetic division of the autonomic system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is one of the divisions of the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary body functions in the body. The sympathetic nervous system is said to stimulate the fight-or-flight response of the body when the body senses threat, or is exposed to a stressor. These  fight-or-flight responses are generated in the body in form of physiological changes in order to put the body at top alert to focus on dealing with the stressor.

Physiological changes that are stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system as fight-or-flight responses include dilated pupils, inhibited digestive activity, increased respiratory rate, and release of glucose from the liver, which are all stated in the question. It is the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system that controls all these activities.
