Changes in water temperature affect the density of the water. Water density is important for deep ocean currents that move water

around the oceans. With increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the ocean is absorbing more and more heat. The Beaufort Gyre is a circular current in the Arctic. Which of the following is the most reasonable hypothesis as to what would happen to the Beaufort Gyre if the oceans keep warming?
The water would get warmer and would not sink to the bottom, and therefore disrupt the worldwide currents.

The water would get colder and sink to the bottom, then take longer to warm up disrupting currents.

The water would change temperature and begin to circulate in the opposite direction.

The water would get much warmer and cause part of any nearby continental ice sheet to melt.

Answer:

The water would get warmer and would not sink to the bottom, and therefore disrupt the worldwide currents

Explanation:

the warmer water is less dense than the colder water and would not sink, which would interrupt the natural currents with extra external heat added by global warming

What is the advantage to prokaryotes grouping related metabolic gene products into a single operon?
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>s that a single on off switch can control the whole cluster of functionally related genes; these genes are coordinately controlled (ex: when Ecoli must make tryptophan for itself because the nutrient medium lacks this amino acid all the enzymes for the metabolic pathway are synthesized at one time)</span>

Why is it necessary to have a constant input of energy into an ecosystem?
IrinaK [193]
If there was not a constant Input of energy into the ecosystem then nothing would have the power to do anything and nothing would be alive. the energy starts with the sun, then goes to plants, then animals that eat the plants, and then the animals that eat those animals, Ect. if this chain reaction did not happen then the plants wouldn't have to power to go through photosynthesis and then we would get no energy. the amount of energy lessen with every chain that it goes through, this is why we get more energy eating plants and why they are healthier.
