Question

Consider the two facts below:

Fact 1: Dissolved oxygen is one of the most
important nutrients needed by fish in the aquatic
environment to survive.
Which scenarios may be explained by the facts on
the left? Check all that apply.
ID There is more dissolved oxygen in colder
waters than in warm water.
IM
Fact 2: Unlike solids, whose solubility increases
with increasing temperature, the solubility of gases
generally decreases with increasing temperature.
IND
There is less dissolved oxygen in colder
waters than in warm water.
Fish life in the ocean is more abundant during
the seaons with warmer water than seasons
with cooler water
HII
If ocean temperatures rise, then the risk to
the fish population increases.
DONE W

Answer 1

Answer: the answers are A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

i got it right

Answer 2

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).
