What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Name 1 example of each.
Eukaryotic-Single or multi celled organisms that does have a nucleus; E.G, Humans;
Prokaryotic-Single celled organisms that do not have a nucleus; E.G, Bacteria;
Explain how humans contribute to Eutrophication.
Fertilizer runoff causes water to become nutrient rich so algae grows. After this, the algae take oxygen from the water, killing other organisms. These organisms decompose lowering the depth of the water, eventually leading to an aquatic succession.
