Why is bioaccumulation dangerous to top carnivores?

Biology
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
5 0
The top predators at the end of a long food chain, such as lake trout, large salmon, and fish-eating gulls, may accumulate concentrations of toxic chemicals (caused by bioaccumulation) high enough to cause serious deformities or worse, death.

I hope this helps you and have a great day!! :)

I am a unicellular microorganism that lives in the hypersaline waters of Southeastern Australia. What Kingdom do I belong to?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Archaea or archaebacteria.

Explanation:

Archaea is the domain and the kingdom of the single-cell prokaryotic organisms as they lack a nucleus. These organisms are present in extreme habitats such as hot springs, high saline water. These organisms can live in extremely aggressive environments which makes it a uniqe characteristic of this organism.

In the given condition the organism that lives in hypersaline water is most likely a member of the  Archaea domain or Archaebacteria kingdom as it is found in the hypersaline waters of Southeastern Australia and unicellular organisms.

Identify the substances that can readily pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
KIM [24]

Answer:

A,C E

Explanation:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria separate the matrix of the mitochondria from the cytosol(inner membrane space.). It is invaginated  folded inwards  to form the critae. This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for biochemical reaction in the mitochondria.

The invagination gives two compartments the inner mitochondria also creates the outer intermembrane space and the inner matrix

These are the substances that can pass freely the inner membrane of the mitochondria.Pyruvate and H+ can not pass through.Specifically,it is not preamble to H+ because, hydrogen ions are needed to generate the electrochemical gradients needed for the chemical energy  for phosphorylation of ADP by  P to form ATPs by the enzyme ATPase synthase.If the inner membrane is permeable to H+ the electochemical gradient will not be produced, and therefore ATPs productions stops.

O2 needs to pass through the inner membrane because it it the final electron acceptor. Therefore if not allowed to pass through oxidative phosphorylation  and ETC will nor occur.

CO2 must pass through because its accumulation will increase the acidity of the inner  mitochondria
