How does a plastic bottle thrown on the ground by a person in St. Louis, in the middle of the United States, become microplastic

in the Gulf of Mexico?
Incineration of plastics results in the production of microplastic that can be carried by the wind all over the planet.

Much of the trash east of the Mississippi River is shipped to the Gulf of Mexico for disposal, then the plastic dumped into the Gulf is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

Plastics are ground into tiny pieces before being washed down the drains of waste management facilities, ultimately reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Trash thrown on the ground can wash into streams and rivers and find its way into the Gulf of Mexico, where the plastic is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

PLEASE HELP

Answer: Option d

Explanation:

Trash thrown on the ground by a person can travel to the Gulf of mexico by water ways. A small bottle can travel from the ground to the stream and lakes and they it finds its way towards Gulf of Mexico.

The plastic bottle must have been broken down into smaller pieces and this is how it can travel through the water ways to the Gulf of Mexico.

A small piece of plastic thrown can be a serious issue as it cannot be degraded and hence it travels along the water to major seas and oceans.

Why does DNA need to be copied into mRNA?
larisa86 [58]

mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

The transfer of information in a DNA strand to a new molecule of messenger RNA is known as transcription. Thus, the process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase and a number of accessory proteins called transcription factors. However, DNA is copied into mRNA because mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

Heart rate decreased suddenly and then MAP immediately fell because peripheral blood vessels were extensively vasodilated.

Explanation:

A VO2 max test is a clinical test done in a lab and is the ‘golden standard’ for measuring the potential and cardio-respiratory endurance of athletes and bikers.

It measures the oxygen carrying capability through a graded step test which determines the average power output. The maximal oxygen uptake along with cardiorespiratory responses is measured.

As per exercise physiology, the heart rate and cardiac output increases with exercise. When the potential is less, the resistance decreases, heart rate and mean arterial pressure also decrease .
