The two correct terms for nitrate poisoning in
newborn infants are BLUE BABY SYNDROME AND METHEMOGLOBINEMIA.
This condition arises in in newborn infants as a
result of been exposed to high level of nitrates. Newborn infants are usually
exposed to unhealthy level of nitrates via nitrate contaminated water that is
used to mix their food formula. Presence of high dose of nitrate in the body
drastically reduces the amount of oxygen that is found in the blood, this make
the color of the baby to become bluish. Other symptoms associated with this condition
are: difficulty in breathing, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, dizziness, weakness, etc.
yes it will, it will ruin the food chain
Regardless of how much CO2 they soak up, wild plants are a key ally in our quest to make civilization sustainable. Rather than just expecting them to protect us, we should focus on protecting them — not just because they might soften the blow of climate change, but also because plants offer many other "ecosystem services" that benefit humanity. Beyond absorbing CO2, for example, plants can release atmosphere-cooling aerosols, clean up toxic fumes and produce life-saving medicines.
"I really hope people can appreciate how much nature has been doing for us,". "Nature is trying to mitigate the consequences of our actions. We should appreciate that and protect plants. There are so many plant species that are doing a service to mankind, yet we have not been studying them. We don't even know how they are doing in the natural environment. If they go extinct, we would miss a lot of knowledge that could have been gained. We need to protect plants and protect nature."
<u>Answer</u>:
No, speciation doesn’t occur in specific characteristics and predictable manner.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Speciation means creation of a new kind of plant or animal. When a particular species separates from its members of species and develops its own characteristics, speciation occurs.
There are different types of Speciation. In allopatric speciation, species separate due to geographical conditions like waterways or mountain range and evolve into separate species. Whereas in Sympatric speciation, species evolve into separate ones without any change in geographical conditions. Other types of speciation are artificial, peripatric and parapatric type of speciation. So, these changes are neither specific nor predictable.
I believe the correct response would be all of the above.
