Answer:
The answer is the dropping pH of the ocean
Explanation:
The ocean absorbs tons of carbon dioxide (Co2) from the atmosphere which changes the chemistry of the water. The ocean is naturally Alkaline but, as the oceans absorb Co2 it turns into carbolic acid. This doesn't make the ocean's immediately acidic but it is causing them to be gradually less alkaline. Since the direction of change is near the acid end of the scale, the process is known as ocean acidification. The coral reefs need the alkaline environment and can feel when the environment changes and when the ocean becomes to acidic for them it kills off the coral.
Answer:
Ammonification
Explanation:
The ammonification is part of the nitrogen cycle. This process occurs when the plants and animals die. The dead plants and animals start to decompose because of the organisms like the fungi and bacteria that manage to decompose them. As they are decomposed, the nitrogen is converted into ammonium by the decomposers. The ammonium is returned into the soil, thus becoming available for the living organisms that can extract it from it, and in that manner continuing the nitrogen cycle.
Answer:
The gene of interest from another source.
Explanation:
A plasmid is a small, circular double-stranded extrachromosomal DNA molecule within a cell particularly a bacteria cell that is physically separated from chromosomal DNA and can also replicate independently.
Expression vector is usually a plasmid (or a virus can also be utilized) constructed to allow for gene expression in cells. The vector is used to introduce a gene of interest into a target cell, and can drive the cell's mechanism for protein synthesis to produce the protein encoded by the gene, thus giving rise to the expression of the gene.
This gene of interest is integrated into the plasmid that is cut by endonucleases and then ligated using DNA ligase. Thus the expression differs from the normal plasmid in that it contains an external gene sequence.

Answer:
If trypsin is in an acidic environment, it will decrease its function, since its optimum pH is 8.
Explanation:
Trypsin is an enzyme responsible for break peptide bonds, thus hydrolyzing proteins into peptides and amino acids. This enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and poured into the duodenum —an alkaline environment— where it acts.
<u>Since the </u><u>optimal pH for trypsin to fulfill its function is 8</u><u>, if the enzyme were placed in an </u><u>acidic environment</u><u> it would decrease its function</u>. This is because enzymes work under specific pH and temperature conditions, and changes in these conditions affect enzymatic activity.
