Sulfur emissions from industry combine with water in the atmosphere and form acid rain. A new factory is built very close to the lake that Josh visits often. By examining the table that shows what pH range different species can survive, Josh decides that the aquatic life will be affected by the changes in pH that the lake. Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are

A) perch and frogs.

B) mayfly and bass.

C) snails and clams.

D) frogs and salamanders.

The correct answer is option (C) snails and clams.

Acid rain is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with water molecules. Industries are one of the major contributors to acid rain. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in water.

A factory built close to the lake can cause acid rain which affects the pH of the lake. Any change in the pH of the lake has an effect on the organisms in it. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral and pH values below 7 indicates acidity and pH values above 7 indicates alkalinity. Organisms have an acid tolerance level beyond which they are affected and can die. Perch has an acid tolerance of up to pH 4.5 and frogs can tolerate an acidic pH of 4.0. The acid tolerance level of Mayfly and Bass is a pH of 5.5. Salamanders can tolerate an acidic pH of 5. Whereas, Snails and Clams have a very less pH tolerance of 6. They are highly susceptible to acidic pH.

Thus, Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are snails and clams.

In a membrane, the________of the phospholipids in one monolayer face the________of the phospholipids in the other monolayer.
matrenka [14]

In a membrane, the tail of the phospholipids in one monolayer face the tail of the phospholipids in the other monolayer.

<h3>What is cell membrane?</h3>
  • The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates and protects the inside of all cells from the outside environment.
  • It is also known as the plasma membrane (PM), cytoplasmic membrane or plasmalemma (extracellular space).
  • The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, which is made up of two layers of phospholipids interwoven with cholesterol (a lipid component) to maintain  proper membrane fluidity  at different temperatures.
  • Furthermore, membranes are composed of membrane proteins, such as those that cannot be separated across the membrane and function as membrane transporters, and peripheral proteins that simply attach to the  outer membrane of the cell and function as membrane transporters. enzymes to help the cell interact with its environment.
  • The integrated glycolipids of the outer lipid layer perform a similar function.

Protein is the macromolecule that is involved in how hemophilia is passed from parents to children

Explanation:

Hemophilia A, also called factor VIII (8) deficiency or classic hemophilia, is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective factor VIII (FVIII), a clotting protein. Although it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of cases found have no previous family history.
