Answer: a. dead organisms from the marine food web.

c. liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms.

Upwelling is a wind driven motion of lower bottom nutrient rich and warmer water on the surface of the water body. This wind driven motion facilitates the movement of nutrients available for growth of primary producers like phytoplanktons growing on the surface of water body. The dead organisms from the marine food web get decomposed and the organic matter obtain after decomposition is a rich source of phosphorous. This phosphorous gets transferred to the upper layers of the water body by upwelling. In aquatic organisms ATP hydrolysis occurs which is a catabolic process that uses water to split the bonds present in the ATP molecule and hence, releases energy for functions performed by them along with a release in phosphate atom. This phosphate gets mixed with the water. Therefore, PO32 come from dead organisms from the marine food web and liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms that circulates due to upwelling.

Answer:

With respect to the differences in the DNA sequence of six species, including the human one, it is true that the DNA sequences may vary but the aminoacid sequences are identical.

Explanation:

Options for this question:

The DNA sequences may vary but the amino acid sequences are identical.
The nitrogen bases in the nucleotides must also be different in each.
The process in producing additional DNA, replication, is identical in all six.
The process of producing DNA, or replication, varies due to the differences in the DNA codes.

The different species that exist have specific genomes for each of them, this is the genetic information contained in the DNA varies from one species to another, as can be seen in the scheme (see image). However, the genetic code is universal, and does not vary from one species to another.

The genetic code is found in the RNA molecule and is a sequence of nucleotides that, organized in triplets (codons), are responsible for the synthesis of specific amino acids. An RNA molecule contains the information necessary for protein synthesis.

The scheme shows the differences of five species with respect to the human, based on the respective DNA sequences. But what it does not show is a universally accepted truth, that the nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid is the same for each of these species.

What happens to the air that a emperor penguin breathes in?

enot [183]

Emperor penguins need lungs to breathe. In penguin lungs, air never stops. ... Once the air goes farther into the trachea it splits into two different directions into both lungs. To get the oxygen into the blood cells, it must come "within small distance of the penguin blood cells".
