The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is an area of hypoxic waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Its area varies in size, but ca

n cover up to 6,000-7,000 square miles. The zone occurs between the inner and mid-continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico, beginning at the Mississippi River delta and extending westward to the upper Texas coast. Thousands of farms are located along the Mississippi River and its tributaries and as water washes into the river after a heavy rain, it brings with it nutrients from fertilizers added to farmland. These materials flow downriver and eventually enter the Gulf of Mexico, where they create conditions for a dead zone: an area of low to no oxygen that results in the death of fish and other marine life. The Gulf of Mexico is a major source area for the seafood industry. The Gulf supplies 72% of U.S. harvested shrimp, 66% of harvested oysters, and 16% of commercial fish. Consequently, if the hypoxic zone continues or worsens, fishermen and coastal state economies will be greatly impacted. What can be done to minimize the Gulf dead zone? Choose ALL that could apply. A) Control of animal wastes so that they are not allowed to enter into waterways. B) Adjust the timing of fertilizer applications to limit runoff of excess nutrients from farmland. C) Monitor septic systems and sewage treatment facilities to reduce discharge of nutrients to surface water and groundwater. D) Restrict land use in the areas surrounding the Mississippi delta to exclude industrial sites. E) Counter the effects of fertilizers on algal growth in the Gulf with the use of chemical herbicides.

A researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. Which observation would support his claim?
Maslowich

Answer:

The microorganism creates its own energy.

Explanation:

Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.

According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).

In our bodies, enzymes in our saliva and pancreas hydrolyse polysaccarides like starch and dissacharides (sucrose) to produce gl
Stolb23 [73]

Explanation:

The enzymatic digestion of starch by amylase can be performed in the laboratory by several ways. But below there is an example of it

In order to have the best protein performance we have to set the temperature of the reaction to 37 celsius degrees.

  • Prepare a starch solution and spread into tubes
  • Prepare an amylase solution and spread into tubes
  • Adjust the pH to the optimum range with buffers, that is about 6.7 to 7.
  • Adjust the temperature of the tubes reaction to 37 celsius degrees.

The wrong temperature and the pH can unfold the enzymes and make the binding site inefficient.

  • Pipette the starch solution in the tubes with enzymes.

By the final step the glucose will be produced by the enzymatic digestion of amylase.

It's attached the scheme of the hydrolyzation of a starch strain
