A massive bluegill fish kill was observed in a lake near a power plant during the winter months. It was determined that the plan

t was releasing large amounts of hot water into the lake.what likely caused the death of so many bluegills in the lake?

Answer:

The influx of warmer water caused an unexpected increase in the metabolic rate of the bluegills, which led to increased physiological stress from limited resource availability.

Explanation:

Bluegill is known as a marine species that live in freshwater. They commonly occur in the deep ponds, lakes and shallow water. They also like to live in aquatic plant species, and near to the shades of trees.

If the plant was releasing more amounts of hot water into the ocean or lake this can cause an unexpected increase for energy used by the bluegills fish per unit of time, and it can cause increased stress from the ability of limited sources.

The answer is B. Warm current move away from the equator towards the poles while cold currents concurrently move towards the equator. This process is known as thermohaline circulation. The cold currents due to higher density move in the great depth of the oceans while the warmer currents are on the surface due to their relatively lower density.

what types of minerals are good conductors of electricity, are strong and can be formed into various shaped and sized products w
Sidana [21]

Minerals which are good conductors of electricity are described below.

Explanation:

  • metals tend to be highly efficient conductors of heat and electricity. The vast majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and most of these fall into one of five families: alkali metals; alkaline earth metals; the very large transition metals family; and the inner transition metal families, known as the lanthanides and actinides.
  • Metals are lustrous or shiny in appearance, and malleable or ductile, meaning that they can be molded into different shapes without breaking. Despite their ductility, metals are extremely durable and have high melting and boiling points. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions by losing electrons.

Which of the following phenomena is a consequence of Independent Assortment? 1. Pure breeding plants, when mated with each other
Natalka [10]

Answer: The answer is that the phenotypic ratio among phenotypes produced from an F1 X F1 dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

Independent assortment of genes explains how alleles on different chromosomes arrange independently of one another during gamete formation.

So, a dihybrid cross involving TWO characters (e.g Seed color & seed shape) would have its respective alleles DISTRIBUTED whether dominant or recessive, for crossing to occur and yield varying proportion of offspring in the well spread ratio of 9:3:3:1; making it a consequence of independent assortment of genes
