Pond water most definitely gets cloudy after a good rain, most of this cloudy water caused by dust, pollen, dirt, debris, and other materials getting washed into the pond and as this material floats and circulates in the pond it gives a cloudy look to the pond, and typically it is just a matter of a day or so for the pond water to be filtered clear again. After your pond water has filtered clean, it is a good time to clean your pond filter too, as all those materials need now to be removed from your pond filtration system.

However, sometimes pond green water conditions can occur. The green water condition in the pond occurs because of the sudden introduction of nitrate and nutrient rich water into your pond; the nutrient levels spike, the planktonic algae in your pond has a sudden huge food (nutrient) supply available, so it can now reproduce like mad increasing in numbers exponentially and wah-lah! You’ve got green water, and green water is simply that….large numbers of floating planktonic algae that now are so densely populated that their green coloration from chlorophyll makes your water appear green.

Why are common names a problem for scientist?
Bess [88]

It can be confusing because it isn't specific enough. In astronomy, the big dipper is not a spoon. It is a bear. Scientists know it as Ursa Major rather than a dipper or bear.

Are Fungi beneficial or harmful? Explain
Nata [24]

Answer:

Honestly it depends...

Explanation:

I would say overall fungi are beneficial because they feed on dead organic matter. They recycle most of the carbon and release nutrients to be used by other organisms. They are also used for medicinal purposes. Not to mention yeast is a fungus and bread is yummy.

But certain fungi are deadly if ingested or linked to plant and human diseases. Also mold is a fungus and nobody likes mold.

Explanation:

Paradoxides pinus is a form of trilobites that thrived all over the world during the middle of the cambrian period as per index fossils. Structurally, they are found to possess semi circular like head with the cheeks curving into structures that resemble spines. Their eyes are sickle shaped for they are believed to have all round vision. The exoskeleton is large and often flattened or oval in shape with greatest width along the re-curved spine.

Which type of reproduction is more likely to increase genetic diversity? why? type your answer here.2. which type of reproductio
aliina [53]
<span>   Sexual reproduction is more likely to increase genetic diversity because every offspring has twice as much genetic material to pull from when being formed compared to the one set of genes in asexual reproduction. There is also the differences between mates that can increase genetic diversity as well if many different mates are mated with.
   Asexual reproduction typically happens more quickly, however, because an asexually reproducing organism does not have to bother with finding a mate, courting and allowing time for the genetic material assimilate, they can just reproduce and all of their genes are utilized in the new organism rather than just half.
   The whiptail lizard may reproduce either sexually or asexually depending on the environmental conditions.</span>

What group of organisms continue the clean up process after scavengers have moved on?
Brums [2.3K]
Probably. Ecosystems are connected. While scientists do break the world down to study it in smaller pieces because we can't comprehend the ecosystem of the whole world at one time, the whole world is one big ecosystem. Some parts of it are more directly connected to others, and some parts are less directly connected. If something catastrophic happened in one ecosystem, it would affect other ecosystems. But also remember that the bigger the network, the less any one species affects it. Because<span> there are so many species in the world, the world is a HUGE ecosystem. The affect would be somewhat absorbed by the vastness of the ecosystem. However, if the extinction of one species (such as fish) has a large impact on one ecosystem, it's impact on surrounding ecosystems might be noticed. When you look at the world as a whole, it's not the extinction of any one species that is very, very dangerous but the extinction of many species. If enough species (like the fish) died in "separate" ecosystems, eventually the ecosystem of the whole would be affected.</span>
