How can you tell if water is polluted?
Water pollution occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. When it is unfit for its intended use, water is considered polluted. Many causes of pollution including sewage and fertilizers contain nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates. In excess levels, nutrients over stimulate the growth of aquatic plants and algae. Excessive growth of these types of organisms consequently clogs our waterways, use up dissolved oxygen as they decompose, and block light to deeper waters.
Identify one farming practice that could be a source of environmental pollution?
Obviously any farming practice that introduces something into the environment that wasn't there before could be considered to be a source of environmental pollution, but most farming practices introduce very little that would be considered pollution.A few examples that could be sources of environmental pollution are:Spreading pesticides or fertilizers on fields and then allowing runnoff contaminated with those substances to re-enter a river or lakeAllowing animal waste from pig farming to enter local waterways during periods of floodingSlash and burn preparation of land for farming This is mostly used in rain forest areas where the jungle is burned down to get the nutrients that are locked up in the vegetation. The burned vegetation is then tilled into the soil to get the nutrients into it. Once the nutrients have been depleted from the soil, the farmer moves on to a new area - and starts the process over again. The burning part causes air pollution. The depleted land left at the end has a hard time growing anything and massive errosion usually occurs which fills the local waterways with the eroded dirt.

How does pollution affect the population growth of euglena?
Pollution affects the growth of euglena by two simple aspects; sunlight and nutrients. The euglena can no longer obtain sunlight through the water if pollution is causing the water to become too polluted for sunlight to break through. Since the euglena can also absorb nutrients through the cell membrane, pollution can contaminate the nutrients that the euglena needs for survival, both ultimately causing the prevention of the euglena from creating or obtaining food.
