In todayâs pattern of extinction, the generation of new species is unlikely because _____.

The answer to this question is: entire ecosystems are being destroyed

In order to achieve a new species, current species have to survive for thousands of years and develop new and better features over that time in order to make it easier for them to adapt.
But our environmental condition today is really worrisome due many irresponsible destruction that is made in the name of profit, which endanger a lot of species

Explanation:

Turtles are excellent divers, but from time to time they must go back to the surface to breathe. As turtles have a carapace, they can not extend and contract the ribs to breathe. Instead, they use their fin muscles and swimming movement to bomb air from inside to outside of the lungs. Many turtles species can not dive in deeps because their carapace is so hard that it might crush as they are diving because of water pressure. But some other species are adapted to deep-diving. These marine turtles keep huge amounts of oxygen in their muscles and blood instead of keeping them in the lungs. They can dive for a very long time in the deep, most of the time foraging, escaping from predators or to regulate their body temperature. These species can handle the pressure because their carapace is not that hard, so it allows the body to compress and not to be crushed by water pressure.

Most aquatic snakes are known to dive near the surface, where water is warmer and helps them to regulate their body temperature. But some other species are adapted to dive up to 250 meters deep where they can forage over a wider amount of prey. Independently of how deep they can swim, all of these aquatic animals must go back to the surface for gas exchanging. They can hold the breath for 5 or 6 hours, but after that period they must breathe. Some marine snakes are adapted to deep diving: their bodies are very laterally comprised and they can face the breathing problem through skin gas exchanging. Although they have developed these adaptations, at some point they must breathe.

Water Lilies need light and warm water to grow. They grow fast and colonize illuminated places, in warm and shallow water. The deeper the plant is located, the slower it will grow. These plants can not live in waters over five feet deep, because deep water is cold and poorly lighted, and tubers and rhizomes take a long time to establish in these places.

Mangrove trees have roots called pneumatophores that allow them to take oxygen from the air and produce gas exchange. They can resist a periodic submersion but they need to drain. If these roots are constantly underwater they can not accomplish their respiratory function and the tree eventually dies. These species have different strategies to deal with salt, one of excreting it by their leaves. If leaves are underwater, they are not able to do this, increasing salt levels in their system.

The stratosphere

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

is used by commercial airplanes

Explanation:

The stratosphere is used by most commercial airplanes. This is because this layer of earth is stratified and more stable.

The lowest level of the atmosphere is the troposphere.
This layer is where all the bulk of the atmospheric gases are domiciled.
Weather conditions occur here.
This layer is not safe for flight due to its turbulent nature.
The ionosphere is responsible for the transmission of radio signals around the earth.
The earth's weather occurs in the region of the troposphere.
