The distinguishing features of the oligotrophic and eutrophic lake.
Introduction:
The life on Earth is sustained by air, water, temperature, nutrients, and energy. The landscape of the Earth mainly consists of aquatic biome and terrestrial biome. The aquatic biome consists of ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans. These diverse types of vegetation help the survival of organisms. Some lakes contain more nutrients some contain fewer nutrients based on their sources.

Most people, even those who exercise regularly at low to average intensity (1 hour at the gym or a 2- to 3-mile walk several times per week), do not need an increased protein intake. What would be the protein needs of a man named Josh who exercises moderately and is the same age and size as Wayne? Josh is 5 ft, 8 in tall and weighs 183 lb.
Round the number of grams to the nearest whole number. During calculations, use numbers rounded to the first decimal place. Because protein requirement is a range, please enter two numbers: lower and upper range values, respectively.
Separate the lower and upper range values, in that order, by a comma.
