Why would it be expected that a swordfish would exhibit higher methyl mercury levels than a tilapia? (site 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Mercury is a liquid metal that is released into the environment by both natural processes such as volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, etc and human activities such as waste materials from factories. The mercury that reaches the ocean and other water sources is converted into methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that interferes with the nervous system and is easily absorbed by the human body.

The methylmercury is taken up by planktons. Small fishes consume large quantities of plankton. Tilapia is a small, short-lived freshwater fish. The methylmercury level in tilapia is lower than that of other fish. When large, long-living predatory fishes such as tuna, shark, king mackerel, swordfish, etc consume many smaller fish with low mercury levels, this causes accumulation of methylmercury at extremely high levels in their tissues over time i.e., the amount of mercury in such bigger fish biomagnifies.  

So large, long-lived predators like swordfish and shark often have the highest methyl mercury levels than a small, short-lived tilapia.

What are the loosely packed photosynthetic cells in the leaf called? A. epidermis B. guard cells C. spongy mesophyll D. palisade
Karolina [17]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

These cells are soft because of its function. Gaseous exchange takes place by the help of these cells. Spongy mesophyll cells are covered by thin layer of water and are loosely packed.

This is because, during the day time when the plant is performing photosynthesis these cells allows the carbon dioxide into the mesophyll cells and the oxygen out of the plant body.

True of False: Hemoglobin releases the same amount of oxygen to all the tissues regardless of variations in their metabolic rate
Murljashka [212]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Hemoglobin can be defined as red protein that transports oxygen to various parts of the body according to its need.

It does not transports the same amount of oxygen to all the tissues. Some tissues of the body might require more more oxygen and some cells might require less amount of oxygen.

It depends on the state of activity. It transports more oxygen to the tissue that require it the most.

Example: The skeletal muscles of the body require more oxygen and it can be more than 80% .

Hence, the given statement is false and hemoglobin does not releases the same amount of oxygen to each and every tissue of the body.
