Biology
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
3 0

Ans. False.

Coral reefs can be defined as underwater ecosystems, characterized by coral (marine invertebrates) skeletons. Coral reefs can survive only in clean and clear water. Pollutants and sediments smother the coral reefs, reduce water quality, and enhance the growth of damaging algae.

Pollution also makes coral reefs to become susceptible for disease, which impede growth and reproduction of corals, and cause damage to coral reefs.

Thus, the given statement is false as coral reefs are affected by pollution.

A biologist has been studying two populations of trout in Montana for the last 25 years, when the two populations were establish
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Positive natural selection.

Explanation:

The positive natural selection is a type of natural selection that increases the frequency of an allele or trait when it is advantageous for the population. What happened in the example is that the mouth with the slight change in  morphology (trait)  was more advantageous for the population in the south in relation to the  ancestral morphology  (still preserved in the population in the north), and therefore its frequency increased. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the food (prey) is not the same in the two habitats (north and south).  The specific prey in the south,  caused the new morphology to be selected, (increasing the frequency of individuals with the new mouth),  becasue probably that trait allows the trouts in the south to hunt more effectively.

At the complete end of cellular respiration, how many molecules of ATP are produced
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

38 ATP

Explanation:

On complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose yields 38 ATP.  Break up of energy production is given below:  

  • During glycolysis 2 ATP and 2 NADH is produced.
  • During formation of Acetyl CoA, 2 NADH is produced.  
  • During Citric Acid Cycle, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH₂ are produced.  

Finally during Electron transport chain, reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ oxidised to release ATP. Each NADH produce 3ATP and each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP. Altogether 10 NADH is produced during entire process of cellular respiration which yield 30 ATP and 2 FADH₂ yields 4 ATP. Therefore, on complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose yields 38 ATP.
