1. Lots of urea and phosphate fertilizer were used in the crops in the vicinity.
2. The area was sprayed with DDT by an aircraft.
3. The lake water turned green and stinky
4. Phytoplankton populations in the lake declined initially, thereby, greatly reducing photosynthesis.


Which two of the above were the main causes of fish mortality in the lake?

1. 2, 3
2. 3, 4
3. 1, 3
4. 1, 2

What will happen if HCl secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
1. Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen
3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen
is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin
4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal
mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin
