Use mathematical and computational thinking to extrapolate your measurements obtained from the grid area to the entire pool to determine the total algal biomass in this pool. Assume the area covered by algae is equivalent to 30% of the pool's surface area. Extrapolate the total algal biomass present in the pool from your data. Algal biomass collected: 0.162 g Area scraped: 0.772 m2 Pool surface area: 28 m2 Pool's estimated total algal biomass: Enter value.. g Hint

The Lazy River Environmental Group organized a major cleanup of the pollution from the old factory in late 2010. Measurements of pollution in river sediments before and after the cleanup were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the cleanup. Select the Sediment Pollutant Over Time dataset and follow the interactive to graph the data. What statement best describes the results of the clean up?

Nutrient Nitrogen Phosphorus (a) (b) mg nutrient/g of algae Available, mg/L 0.62 80 6.9 0.15 What percent reduction in nitrogen is needed to control algal production to 1.0 mg/L? What percent reduction in phosphorus is needed to control algal production to 1.0 mg/L?
You are culturing 2 algal species. Species A has a maximum photosynthetic output of 8 mg C mg-1 chl a h-1 and a half saturation constant of 20 µE m-2 s-1. Species B reaches a maximum photosynthetic output of 4 mg C mg-1 chl a h-1 and has half saturation constant of 18 µE m-2 s-1. Which species will be growing faster at a PAR light intensity of 80 µE m-2 s-1? Why?

The chemical representation of algae is C106H263O110N16P. The Gulf of Mexico contains 0.2 mg/L of nitrogen and 0.08 mg/L of phosphorus. a.Which is the limiting nutrient for algal growth in the water? Assume all other nutrients are abundant. b.What will be the mass of algae produced per liter of water (mg/L) in an algal bloom? c.If the nitrogen source is reduced by 50%, would the algae production also decrease by half? d.If the phosphorus source is reduced by 50%, would the algae production also decrease by half?
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion What percentage of Vmax is achieved when the substrate concentration is 0.7 of the KM? Calculate to nearest whole number.
In not more than 200 words or 5 sentences, answer or explain the following situation. In a seagrass ecosystem, nutrients restrict primary production under low nutrient (oligotrophic) conditions, while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient (eutrophic) conditions. Discuss how this happens with respect to the three primary producers (seagrass, macroalgae, phytoplankton) as the condition changes from oligotrophic to eutrophic.
ndustrial effluent from a metal processing factory released Cu into a nearby river without any treatment and causes ecological damage, particularly to the fishes and algae found in the river. a. Analyze FIVE aspects/factors why using either fish or algae has limitations in metal biomonitoring program?
There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2). QUESTION: Please give the clear explanation for both observations and justify your answer.
