Answer:

D. Ship ballast

Explanation:

Zebra mussels are the invasive species that have adaptive features to allow them to invade the new ecosystems. They have floating larva that can be transported along with running water. Also, the adult form of zebra mussels have ability to attach themselves to various substrates such as boats and ship ballasts. The primary factor for introduction of the species in Great Lakes is attachment of the species to the ship ballast that enter the lake.

How does carbonic anhydrase change the reaction between carbon dioxide and water?
Natalka [10]

It catalyzes the reaction by making it fast (both forward and reverse reactions).

Naturally, the reaction between CO2 and H2O is very slow in the formation of carbonic acid. However, in the blood, due to the presence of the enzyme, the reaction is much rapid by millions of factors. This is because the enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reactants.  The enzyme is important in respiration of cells and in pH regulation,

How can you test the idea that solar energy is required for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

In addition to biology, evidence drawn from many different disciplines, including chemistry, geology, and mathematics, supports models of the origin of life on Earth. In order to determine when the first forms of life likely formed, the rate of radioactive decay can be used to determine the age of the oldest rocks (see optional problems C and D, below) exposed on Earth’s surface. These are found to be approximately 3.5 billion years old. The age of rocks can be correlated to fossils of the earliest forms of life. A. The graph compares times of divergence from the last common ancestor based on the fossil record with a "molecular time" constructed by comparing sequences of conserved proteins to determine a mutation rate (after Hedges and Kumar, Trends in Genetics, 2003). Explain how such a molecular clock could be refined to infer time or the evolution of prokaryotes. B. Using a molecular clock constructed from 32 conserved proteins, Hedges and colleagues (Battistuzzi et al., BMC Evol. Biol. 2004) estimated the times during which key biological processes evolved. A diagram based on their work is shown. Connect the time of the origin of life inferred from this diagram with the age of the oldest fossil stromatolites and the age of the oldest exposed rock to show how evidence from different scientific disciplines provides support for the concept of evolution. Evaluate the legitimacy of claims drawn from these different disciplines (biology, geology, and mathematics) regarding the origin of life on Earth. The oldest known rocks are exposed at three locations: Greenland, Australia, and Swaziland. The following application of mathematical methods provides essential evidence of the minimum age of Earth.
