Answer and Explanation:

Variable: dissolved oxygen

Title: Oxygen variation as a water quality indicator.

Purpose: To study how dissolved oxygen varies with depth

Hypothesis: The percentage of dissolved oxygen will decrease as depth increases.

Procedure/Method:

Selection of sampling spots, according to the morphometry of the lake,  different depth, water currents inputs and outputs, aquatic vegetation, and lake type of use. In each spot water samples will be taken using a Niskin bottle. The sample will be taken from different depth: 5 meters deep, 10 meters deep, and 15 meters deep (photic zone). Dissolved oxygen (DO) will be measured in each sample, by using a multiparameter sensor.     In a field sheet to evaluate the parameter, the %DO by site and depth will be recorded.

Observations:  

%DO in each site and depth will be recorded in order to analyze how it varies with depth.  

Data analysis:

According to different indicators of water quality in a lake, the observed %DO will be compared and analyzed to evaluate the sanity state of the lake water. Example of valuation scale,  

NORMAL index: Oxygen concentration in the water column is found to be sufficient for the  fish survival

REGULAR: Decrease in oxygen concentration at greater depth, values  below saturation in the background

CRITICAL: Null oxygen concentration in all or part of the column profile of  water. Probable fish mortality events.

According to the taken data, observations on the study site will be taken, such as the variation in oxygen concentration as it gets deeper, until reaching hypoxia level, where fishes can not survive. Data can be presented in tables and in graphs, in both cases comparing sampling sites and depth, making a focus on the valuation scale.

Conclusion:

Association of the oxygen variation with the sanity state of the lake, microbiology decomposition processes at different depths, eutrophication state, among others.

Light behaves in specific ways. It can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, and under certain conditions, run into different kinds of interference. Which explanation best describes why light is refracted as it enters water?


A. The light bends when it enters water due to its reflection.

B. The speed of light remains the same as it moves from air to water, causing the light to reflect.

C. The speed of light increases when it enters a different medium, but it doesn't bend.

D. The speed of light changes as it moves from air to water, causing the light to bend.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Refraction is generally defined as the change in the direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Light is a form of wave and light refraction is caused by a change in the speed of light as it moves from air to water, causing the light to bend in the process. The medium of travelling has to be transparent.

The change in the speed and direction is due to the variability in the refractive index of media. Light travels faster as it moves from a medium of higher refractive index to a medium of lower refractive index and vice versa.

The correct option is D.

flashing feathers to show their health and grooming abilities

dancing and calling on a lek (communal ground) with other males, competing for female attention

singing a particular song to help potential mates hear them

Answers

Answer:  The correct answer is "creating a bower (arch) with interesting objects and defending it from rival mates".

Explanation:

Just took the quiz.

creating a bower (arch) with interesting objects and defending it from rival males is a territorial behavior.

What is Territorial behavior?

Any defended area is referred to as a "territory," and most birds are territorial (in the sense that they defend some area, even if it's merely a nest site), at least for a portion of the year.

When a territory is defended, the "owner" has access to one or more resources (or access to resources of higher quality) than they otherwise would. According to what resource (or resources) is (are) being protected, territories can be categorized.

Type A territory, or the area where mating, nesting, and feeding take place (such as courtship, mating, nesting, & foraging).

Therefore, creating a bower (arch) with interesting objects and defending it from rival males is a territorial behavior.

What are meristematic tissue?

A meristem is a particular kind of tissue that can be found in plants. It is made up of cells that have not undergone differentiation and are able to divide. Meristematic cells have the potential to differentiate into all of the other types of tissues and organs that can be found in plants. These cells will continue to divide until they reach a certain point, at which point they will begin to differentiate and will no longer be able to divide.

Additionally, meristematic tissue is responsible for the generation of secondary tissues like wood and cork. Both primary growth (expansion) and secondary growth (thickness) contribute to the plant's overall development.

Apical meristems are the cells that are responsible for the growth of the plant's primary body as well as the extension of its roots and shoots. Because they are the cells that are responsible for secondary growth, also known as an increase in stem girth and thickness, lateral meristems are also referred to as secondary meristems.

If you ate more food from secondary consumers, how would this change the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival?

Answers

Answer:

would increase

Explanation:

The pyramid of biomass is a diagram that exhibits the total biomass of the organisms at different trophic levels, which are required to support life in a given ecosystem. This pyramid usually starts with producers situated on the bottom (e.g., plants), then continues with the organisms that eat these primary consumers (herbivores), after with secondary consumers (carnivores), and so successively. The pyramid of biomass indicates the amount of mass of 1-primary producers required to support the life of the primary consumers, 2- primary consumers needed to support the life of the secondary consumers, 3-secondary consumers needed to support the life of the tertiary consumers, and so successively for each trophic level. In this diagram, the trophic level with a higher amount of biomass (and energy) is usually represented by the producers (i.e., by organisms on the bottom), and this amount of biomass decreases as long as more levels are considered. In consequence, if more food from secondary consumers is consumed, it will produce an increase in the percentage of biomass that is needed to support life.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. Vacuole

Explanation:

As the plants have no used for the herbicides, it will be transported to it "waste bin" which is the Vacuole.

Definition of Vacuole: Vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Also, completed a test with same question, and got it right.

Vacuole organelle in the plant will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste.

What is Vacuole?

Animal, plant, bacterial, protist, and fungal cells all include vacuoles. It has the size of a giant sac and is one of the biggest organelles found in cells.

Vacuoles are bordered by a thin membrane and filled with fluid and any molecules they take in.

This is their basic structure. Because both are membrane-bound sacs, they resemble another organelle called vesicles, however vacuoles are substantially bigger than vesicles and are created when numerous vesicles fuse together.

Therefore, Vacuole organelle in the plant will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste.

The population in a 50 square mile area is 200 people. What is the population density?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\rho _{population}=4\frac{people}{mi^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the population density is computed by dividing the amount of people by the space (area) where they are in:

[tex]\rho _{population}=\frac{people}{area}[/tex]

For 200 people living in a 50-mi² area, the population density is:

[tex]\rho _{population}=\frac{200people}{50mi^2}\\\\\rho _{population}=4\frac{people}{mi^2}[/tex]

It means that 4 people live per square mile area.

The diagram below shows the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) between a cell and the blood flowing through a capillary.


In this diagram, the molecules of CO2 (represented by x’s) are moving from an area of--

Answers

Answer:

From an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Explanation:

The molecules of CO2 are moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Carbondioxide is produced as waste product in the cell during the process of respiration. This carbondioxide gas is loaded in blood cells because in the cell, concentration of carbondioxide gas is higher while on the other hand the concentration of carbondioxide is lower in the blood cells. This carbondioxide gas exchange in the lungs with oxygen which is required in the process of respiration for the production of energy in the form of ATP molecules. So from the conclusion we can say that CO2 moves from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.
