The main arctic animals which will be affected by climate change are polar bears, seal, seabirds, and walrus.

Polar bears: Sea-ice cover at summer may be completely loss and this inhibits polar bears traveling from region to another to give birth — making the survival of mothers and cubs to be vulnerable.

Seal: Seal species are living mainly on ice and with the climate changing, ice cover also reduces — creating a not so comfortable environment for seal. They use sea ice as a feeding ground, birth place and a place where for raising their young, as well as for resting.

Seabirds (auks and gulls): They eat fishes and scavenge on top of sea ice, so when sea ice reduces so as their source of food and population.

Walrus: Uses sea ice as a feeding ground and source of food is on the sea floor while using sea ice as a diving platform. So any loss of sea ice cover, also affects their way of feeding and eventually, their population.

Overall, melting of ice affects salinity and temperature of surface waters, thereby affecting other marine life.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (see figure). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Microvilli is very common in these cells. They increase the absorption area.

Explanation:

Epithelial cell surfaces show different structure shapes that allow the cells to adapt to and accomplish their functions. Most of these structures are related to the absorption surface and the need to move substances.

The development of microvilli is very common in epithelial cells. These are folds or finger-like projections emerging from the apical surface of the cell. Their principal function is to absorb. The microvilli of the intestinal epithelium are very uniform in size and distribution.
