What kind of cellular changes would be expected in oil-eating microbes moved from a warmer environment to the arctic?

Biology

lesya [120]3 years ago
6 0

The oil-eating bacteria helped in the removal of Gulf oil spill, but it is not that easy in Arctic region. The Arctic waters also comprise of cold-adapted, oil-consuming microbes. Though, they function at a diminished rate of metabolism in comparison to the warm water species.  

In the Arctic Ocean, the ocean currents do circulate, but over a larger surface area in comparison to the Gulf of Mexico, so it would take much more years for the bacteria to come back to the similar location. The cold temperatures also influence the nature of the oil, developing it more viscous and thicker that is tougher for the bacteria to dissociate.  

An oil spill in such regions takes even longer to dissociate, as the levels of oxygen in such regions go way down and bacteria cannot live in such conditions easily.

An elephant has a long, powerful trunk. According to the ideas of Lamarck, how did the trait of long, powerful trunks develop in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was  famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.

It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.

In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.

How do you think our understanding of organisms would be different without the contribution and development or our current class
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

It is important to have a standardized system of classification so people can easily identify different things. It allows scientists to identify, name and group different organisms. It is important so scientists are able to easily communicate about different organisms without confusion.

It is necessary to classify organisms because: It helps in the identification of living organisms as well as in understanding the diversity of living organisms. Classification helps us to learn about different kinds of plants and animals, their features, similarities and differences

if Linnaeus had not developed the taxonomy system there would be no organized way of naming or categorizing new organisms in the scientific community and around the world. Instead, all organisms would be categorized differently in every part of the world, with different names.if Linnaeus had not developed the taxonomy system there would be no organized way of naming or categorizing new organisms in the scientific community and around the world.
