You are called to investigate a lake in your home town, where the residents fear that a broken pipe from the local sewage treatm

ent plant has turned the formerly pristine lake eutrophic. You test the water and find very low levels of oxygen. What stage of euthrophication is this lake in?

Answer:

The correct answer is - The decomposers decompose dead algae and plants which take up most of the oxygen.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is taken place when there is a high amount of nutrients, minerals are present in a waterbody which allow algae to grow rapidly and cause depletion of oxygen due to the decomposition of dead organisms. There are the following stages in the eutrophication process:

-  rapid growth of Algae and other plants

- due to algal bloom, the sunlight is blocked, and plants and organism start dying.

- The decomposers take up most of the oxygen by decomposition

- The animals start dying without oxygen

What is the volume of 0.25 mol of ammonia gas at 1.00 atm and 273 K? (R= 0.0821 Latm/molK)What is the volume of 0.25 mol of ammo
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

5.6L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles  = 0.25mol

pressure on gas  = 1atm

temperature  = 273K

Gas constant R = 0.0821Latm/molK

Unknown:

Volume of gas  = ?

Solution:

Using the ideal gas equation, we can solve this problem. The equation is a combination of the three gas laws: Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.

It is mathematically expressed as;

             PV = nRT

where P is the pressure

           V is the volume

          R is the gas constant

          T is the temperature

          n is the number of moles

All the parameters are in the appropriate units and we simply solve for the volume of the gas;

                1 x V = 0.25 x 0.0821 x 273

                      V  = 5.6L

With advancing age, the lymphatic system ________.
Pepsi [2]

The right answer is D (less responsive to antigens)


It is proven that, after puberty, thymus activity (an organ that is included in the lymphatic system, producing T cells that pick up antigens) decreases and that in adult and aged people the thymus has no role. Work done in humans indicate that in fact the cellularity begins to decline from birth in favor of lymphocyte perivascular spaces and connective and adipose tissue, which leads to a decrease in the capture of antigens.
