ie, and are subsequently consumed through bacterial decomposition. Decomposition consumes oxygen, leading to very low dissolved oxygen levels. Imagine you are a NOAA employee asked to investigate and potentially mitigate (reduce) damage as result of this pollution. Write a short essay explaining the situation to your boss, beginning with an explanation of the problem. Your essay should address the following questions; what are the environmental impacts will it cause, and what can be done to reduce the impact?

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Why is oxygen important in the electron transport pathway and atp synthesis?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to specialized cell membranes,where they are harvested to create ATP.Once the electrons are used, they become depleted and must be removed from the body. Oxygen is essential for this task. Used electrons bind with oxygen; this molecules eventually bind with hydrogen to form water

List the five classes of antibody heavy chains and provide one function for each.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

IgM, IgA, IgE, IgD and IgG

Explanation:

IgM functions in the initial response to offence.

IgA is important for protection of mucus membranes such as in saliva, sweat, tears and gastric fluid.

IgE is active during allergic reactions and defense against infections.

IgD is found on the surface of lymphocytes and is activated upon contact with antigens.

IgG forms part of the secondary response to antigen and is also responsible for newborn protection.
