Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike

would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight.
Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike?

A) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike.
B) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike.
C) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.
D) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is the problem statement and alternative hypothesis is counter of the null hypothesis.

Hence, the null hypothesis here is the rate of extinction was neither higher nor lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)

And alternate hypothesis is "the rate of extinction was either higher or lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)"

Hence, option C is correct

The greatest source of both nitrogen and phosphorus entering most estuaries, such as chesapeake bay, is ________.
Sergio039 [100]

The Chesapeake bay is an estuary in United States. The presence of nitrogen and phosphorus in the estuary can cause harm to the aquatic species present there.

The main source of nitrogen in the Chesapeake bay is the agricultural runoff. The pesticides and the herbicides used in the agriculture may come along the runoff and get mixed with large rivers and water bodies. The nitrogen from agricultural runoff accounts approximately 40% of the total sources of nitrogen.

Hence, the correct answer is agricultural runoff.

Explain why respiratory surfaces must be moist​
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

In animals, the process of respiration is aerobic respiration, exchange of gases takes place ( carbon dioxide leaving the cell, oxygen entering)

Single cellular organisms can exchange gases directly across their cell membrane through the process o diffusion.

Large animals cannot maintain gas exchange by diffusion across their outer surface. A respiratory surface is covered with thin, moist epithelial cells that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange. Those gases can only cross cell membranes when they are dissolved in water or an aqueous solution, thus respiratory surfaces must be moist.
