Ok, I'm sick and tired of incorrect verified answers and Yes the verified answer here is incorrect. The correct answer is "B." and here is why:

hypoxia: a condition of oxygen depletion in water

Now know this, oxygen depletion mainly occurs when dirt and soil that have been sprayed with agriculture fertilizers are introduced or enter a body of water.

Fertilizers are actually amazing on land and they improve the soil quality immensely, but in the water they promote the growth of phytoplankton. This in itself isn't so bad, but once the fertilizers wear off the plankton die and decay, which then in turn uses more oxygen.

The correction option is A.
Hypoxic zone refers to low oxygen areas in the oceans and large lakes. Hypoxic zone is always caused by large amount of excessive nutrients pollution that arise from human activities such as dumping of factory wastes and fertilizers in water bodies. These excessive nutrients usually reduce the concentration of oxygen in these water bodies.<span />

How does human evolution or natural selection relate to the susceptibility of disease?
Soloha48 [4]
Natural selection, is based upon the principle of "Survival of The Fittest" ensures that those who are more well adapted, especially having a better immune system, will survive. and the weaker ones will die out. Human evolution made the human immune system even better as time went by, and the system was more well adapted to diseases it was more exposed to like the Europeans were more resilient to smallpox than the native americans

A semi permeable bag (permeable to water but not to sucrose) contains a 2 % sucrose solution.
Burka [1]

Answer:

a) A beaker filled with 1 liter of deionized water?  - water will flow into the bag so its volume will increase. The solution is <u>hypotonic</u>

b) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 10% sucrose solution?  - water will flow out of the bag so its volume will reduce. The solution is <u>hypertonic</u>

c) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 2% sucrose solution - the volume of water in the bag will stay the same as the two solutions are in equilibrium. The solution is <u>isotonic</u>

Explanation:

Water moves by osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis describes the simple diffusion of water molecules.

Water molecules will move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

  • If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of deionized water, the concentration of water in the deionized water is in the beaker higher than in the bag (because the water in the bag contains 2% sucrose). Therefore, the water in the beaker will move from a high concentration outside the bag to a lower concentration inside the bag
  • If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of 10% sucrose solution, the concentration of water in the bag is higher than in the beaker (because there is more sucrose in the beaker). Therefore, the water in the bag will move from a higher concentration inside the bag to a lower concentration outside the bag.  
  • When the concentration of water is equal, the movment of water molecules reaches an equilibrium and there will be no change in the volume of water in the bag

An organism has the following characteristics: cell wall, heterotrophic, unicellular, and prokaryote. What kingdom does
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Eubacteria.

Explanation:

Eubacteria is a kingdom that comes under prokaryotic organisms. These organisms have many characteristic features that are as follows:

Body Structure: Eubacteria are single-celled organisms with a cell wall outside of the cell to protect them.

Food: Eubacteria are both auto- and heterotrophic which means they can be either autotrophic, they use both chemical synthesis and photosynthesis.

Animals lack the cell wall, planate are autotrophic and protists are eukaryotic organisms so the correct answer is eubacteria.

Why kharif crops cannot grow in rabi seasons?<br>​
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

We know that kharif crops such as paddy need more water to grow healthy, which requires in rainy season. But in winter season , which does not requires so much, hence kharif crops cannot grow in this season healthy and properly. Therefore kharif crops cannot be grown in rabi season.
