Explain the problem if too much nitrogen enters an aquatic ecosystem

Biology
1 answer:
elena55 [62]4 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer</u>:

  • Excessive vegetative growth of aquatic plants and algae,
  • Decrease in oxygen content

<u>Explanation</u>:

Due to substantial increase in the nitrogen content, the algal growth will be higher which deteriorates the quality of water, food resources and habitat. It can also lead to lower in oxygen content in water which affects the ecosystem making difficult for the fishes and other aquatic animals to survive. Huge algal growth may lead to algal bloom, which either reduces or removes oxygen from the water, that in turn causes illness in fishes and sometimes death in large number of fishes.

Rotenone, a toxic compound isolated from plants, strongly inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in Complex
Darya [45]

Answer:

(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.

(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.

(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1  but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.

Explanation:

Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.

Animal body is made of four different types of tissues.

Epithelial Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Connective Tissue
Nerve Tissue

Plant structure is different from the animal skeletal structure. A plant tissue is different from those in animals. Plant tissues are basically divided into two: Meristematic tissue and Permanent tissue.

The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood in the body, while removing carbon dioxide. Which system directly interacts
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct option is <u>C. The nervous system when the brain regulates the body's breathing and heart rate.</u>

Explanation:

The main function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the body.

The brain controls the rate at which the heart pumps blood. The pumping of the heart supplies oxygenated blood to other parts of the body. Hence, the rate at which heart pumps blood is very important to maintain homeostasis of the respiratory system.

The brain regulates the rate at which a person breathes. This rate is very important to breathe in the right amount of oxygen and to breathe out the right amount of carbon dioxide.
