Burka [1]3 years ago

The right answer is c. 3 to 10 million

The latest estimates are a bit more precise: there are 8.7 million living species (which is included in the range between 3 and 10 million), 6.5 million on land and 2.2 million in the water. Which is amazing, since there is more sea than land on our planet.

Researchers estimate that there are 7.77 million animal species, only 298,000 plant species and 611,000 species of fungi and molds.

Answer:

The answer is a: less than one million.

Explanation:

Endangered species are species of plants and animals that are at risks of extinction either due to natural or anthropological process. The International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the body that has been working on assessing different taxonomic groups for threats and species found to be at risk are published in the <em>red list of threatened species</em>.

As at 2019, over 105,000 species have been assessed for threats out of which more than 28,000 species were identified to to be at risk of going into extinction. That is about 27% of the total number of assessed species.

28,000 is still less than a million. The correct option is a

The variability in marine salinity between habitats does not impact the fish living there.
nikitadnepr [17]
Well, there are two kinds of organisms: osmoregulators, that can regulate the level of salt and the salinity does not affect them (an example is salmon: for salmon this sentence is true. Generally, for most fish this sentence is true)

However, for some species, such shark - osmoconformers - this is false: they are affected by the salinity. in general I would conclude that This is false: the marine salinity DOES affect the fish (and other organisms) living there.

How does the pH effect an enzyme reaction?
Nataly_w [17]
A pH environment has a significant effect on an enzymes. It can affect the intramolecular forces and change the enzyme's shape -- potentially to the point where it is rendered ineffective. With these effects in mind, typical enzymes have a pH range in which they perform optimally. For example, alpha amylase, which found in the mouth, operates most effectively near a neutral pH. However, lipases operate better at more basic pH levels.
