Answer:

The options

A)Damage to cellular mitochondria

B)Increased ATP levels

C)Activation of the p53 protein

D)Apoptosis

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D

D)Apoptosis

Explanation:

The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis includes extracellular signaling proteins which adhere to cell surface molecules known aa death receptors which in turn activates apoptosis.

The aftermath activates endonucleases prompting division of DNA and ultimately cell death.

Apart from the TNF and Fas ligand, primary signaling molecules also promotes the extrinsic pathway, examples of such are the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL); the cytokineinterleukin-1 (IL-1); and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the endotoxin located in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria while the activation of the p53 protein, and decreased ATP levels in the intrinsic pathway results in DNA damage.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution which causes the increase in population of phytoplanktons lead to the process called euthrophication.

Explanation:

Eutrophication occurs when there is excessive level of phosphorus and nitrogen in the water that leads to the increase in population of phytoplanktons  or algal blooms. Algal blooms has a negative effect to the quality of water for it creates an environment suited for the growth of bacteria and thereby decreasing the supply of oxygen in water. This leads to death of fishes and aquatic life.
