Biology

Answer:

basically "building blocks"

Explanation:

Living things are made up of very large molecules. These large molecules are called macromolecules because “macro” means large; they are made by smaller molecules bonding together. Our body gets these smaller molecules, the "building blocks" or monomers, of organic molecules from the food we eat.

maw [93]
<span>Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.</span>

2. why is returning by-catch to the sea not always useful as it might appear?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Returning by-catch to the sea is not always useful as the sudden change in pressure will result in damage to internal organs of fishes.

<h3>What is by-catch?</h3>

By-catch refers to other sea animals which are caught along with the intended catch in a fishing expedition.

In some instances some people tend to return by-catch to the sea.

However, this is not always useful as the pressure above sea level or on the sea surface is less than that in the depths of the sea.

A sudden change in pressure will result in damage to internal organs of fishes.

Therefore, returning by-catch to the sea not always useful as it might appear.
