Historically, the earth’s ocean had a ph of 8.2. In recent years it dropped to 8.1. How might this affect the ocean environment

Well with the ph above 7 that means the water is more of a base due to the salt within the water. the decrease in the ph is due to gloabal warming and the melting of ice which is somewhat diluting the water more. the wildlife within the ocean has been there since you or i so some creatures have developed a very specific habbitat and less salt withing the water could have effects on them. one such instace is if the organism needs a lot of salt. a decrease in salt would mean that their cells would bloat with water until they explode. this would obviously hurt the species as a whole and in turn effect the whole food chain.

Answer:

In lost of biodiversity.

Explanation:

There are some living things that are so sensible of changing of temperature or pH, in this way some plants, animals or protozoa can die, in this way the food chain that they belong would be different, affecting another living things. so at the end can be the result of lost of biodiversity.

Compare the two processes: mitosis and meiosis. Can you identify the the true statements about the two? Meiosis results in four

Alborosie

Answer:

The correct statements are:

Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells.
During meiosis, the 2N mother cells produce N daughter cells.
In both processes, DNA replication must occur.
Mitosis is responsible for genetic continuity; in higher organisms, it is essential for growth and repair.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It plays important role in growth and repair of cells and tissues in multi-cellular organisms.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell is divided to produce four daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains exactly half the genetic material (chromosomes) as that of parent cells

It plays important role in the production of gametes (eggs and sperms) in sexually reproducing organisms.

Before either cell division, the DNA is replicated in the S or synthesis phase of the cell cycle.

Which three structures are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The plasma membrane, or cell membrane, is the phospholipid layer that surrounds the cell and protects it from the outside environment.
