Which substance's cycle can be disrupted by the addition of fertilizer and can result in eutrophication?

Biology
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

When excessive minerals(N.P.K) and nutrient are released into the body of water from leaching and other sources,(detergents,fertilizers application,sewage etc )which leads to  corresponding increase in the population of algae(algae boom)the condition is called Eutrophication.

This disrupts the oxygen cycle because,the increased algae population(algae boom) makes use of available oxygen in the habitat for respiration.With continue supply of the  nutrients,the population continue to rise.The competition for oxygen with other fauna leads to shortage of available oxygen,and therefore death of these fauna,and later of the algae.

The decomposing bacteria,also used the fragment pf oxygen to decompose the algae and other dead fauna,further reducing the oxygen levels of the water,with increase in water pollution.

What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer is GLUCOSE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.

If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.

The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.

In which of the following situations do you think current will flow
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Source of current, force and pathway.

Explanation:

Source of current, force and pathway are the three important things needed or responsible for the current flow. A supply of electric charges (electrons) which is provided by the electric source, force of push to move the charges through the circuit and a pathway on which current flows. Without these three things, flow of current is impossible. so we can say that the situation in which all these three things are present will allow the current to flow in the circuit.
