Why are catfish and carp found at the mouth of a river, while trout are found nearer the source?

<span>Catfish and carp require less oxygen than trout. The mouth of a river usually has less oxygen and the area closer to the source has more oxygen, so since catfish and trout require more oxygen they typically are found at the source.</span>

Answer:

The correct reason would be "the levels of dissolved oxygen at the mouth of the river and at the source of the river".

The mouth of the river is the region where it flows into the ocean, lake, another river, reservoir, sea et cetera. The level of dissolved oxygen in this region is too low to support great biodiversity.

Organisms like catfish and carp can survive here due to their low oxygen demand. For example, catfish can survive in water with an oxygen content of 2.5 parts per million.

In contrast, the level of dissolved oxygen is higher at the source of the river. Organisms like trout are found here due to their high oxygen need. For example, rainbow trout require minimum 5-6 parts per million dissolved oxygen for its survival.

Anton Leeuwenhoek Devised a primitive microscope to observe a sample of his tooth scrapings. How did this help contribute it to
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

C- it help to show that some bacteria are just one cell.

Explanation:

Anton Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist who observed the presence of bacteria in his tooth scratch under the microscope made by himself. At that time there was no concept of bacteria and he named those small creatures as animalcules which were later termed as bacteria.

Leeuwenhoek during 1670s  sent the details of his experimentation on algae and bacteria to Royal Society of London.

It was due to his that primitive experiment that made the discovery of bacteria and make it known to other scientists. Therefore option C is the best option that demonstrates that bacteria are single celled organisms that are very minute. When we look at cell theory there is a postulate that shows that cell is the fundamental unit of function and structure  of all living organisms. So, the work of Anton Leeuwenhoek holds substantial importance in the formulation of cell theory.

Hope it helps!

What resources do Off shore oil rigs extract from the earth
RoseWind [281]

Off shore rigs, also called oil platforms, extract oil from the earth. Off shore rigs are quite large structures, and if close to one, it probably wouldn't be too hard to see it. Off shore rigs explore, extract, store, and process petroleum (basically oil). An off shore rig extracts the oil from rocks below the seabed. It is very dangerous and difficult work to work at an oil rig, but salaries are often quite high, partially compensating for the risk.

Sully works as a geologist in the southwestern United States. He plans to choose an unstable isotope to find the absolute age of
BigorU [14]

Answer: 3. The half- life of the isotope must be long enough to capture the age of the rock. and

4. their should be more than one unstable isotope.

In radioactive dating proces, the parent isotope is in unstable state which undergoes decay process to give stable  daughter isotopes. Half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the parent isotopes to decay. The  rock dating requires a long lived parent isotope so that it can capture the exact rock age.

One rock when get decayed in the daughter isotope other will be available identify the age.

You are holding a coarse-grained crystalline rock with a texture that can be best described as having "interlocking crystals". t
dusya [7]

This rock can be classified as: an igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made up of randomly arranged interlocking crystals and the important minerals that can be found in igneous rocks are feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and mafic minerals. All of these minerals are important in the formation of almost all igneous rocks, and they are basic to their classification.
