Answer:

3. Fewer deer and more competition for panthers.

Explanation:

The answer that is most probable in this situation is that the number of panthers has decreased, causing there to be more deer for the leopards to prey on. Before this occurred, the leopards and panthers probably competed to prey on deer. If there are significantly less panthers around, more leopards will be able to prey on the deer in the ecosystem.This can also decrease the deer population and make more competition for the panthers, as their numbers would be small compared to those of the leopards.

Since hemoglobin is attracted more to carbon monoxide than it is to oxygen, what is likely to happen to a person if he breathes
vodomira [7]
C. He could suffocate from lack of oxygen in his blood.

Given the statement that hemoglobin (used to transport oxygen throughout our body) is more attracted to carbon monoxide, it is highly likely that most, if not all, the hemoglobin in a human body will be bound to carbon monoxide instead of oxygen when a person inhales too much carbon monoxide. This results in a lack of hemoglobin carrying oxygen to the cells of the body. Oxygen deficiency occurs.
