Answer:

A. Thermal pollution.

Explanation:

This is a process of discharging water from industries into the sea, ocean, bay etc causing defects called thermal shock to the aquatic inhabitat. These could be to the animals or plants. This is because they maintain a certain range of temperature which is being altered by these industrial hot or cold water.

These also cause reproduction difficulties and lower disease resistance.

A theoretical protein, blue2, is coded for by the blu2 gene. This protein codes for a blue pigment used by the organism to prote
Reika [66]
The question is:
What may be observed as a result of the described mutation in an individual? 

<span>1) Skin cancer due to UV rays </span>
<span>2) Darker blue pigmentation </span>
<span>3) A lack of alterase for other functions it may serve </span>
<span>4) The release of a different pigment color

The correct answer is B.
In this theoretical molecular cascade, we have three key parts, the blue2 gene, the blue2 operator and the enzyme alterase.
The enzyme alterase stops the expression of the blue2 gene by binding  to its operator, and therefore the blue pigment protein.
The blue2 operator has a specific binding spot for alterase. If this binding spot is changed due to a conformational change, the alterase would not be able to bind to the operator and the blue2 gene could express undisturbedly, resulting in increased concentration of the blue pigment protein.</span>

Match each of the following characteristics with the correct connective tissue. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate bl
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

- Parallel arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense regular connective tissue (CT)

- Transports oxygen and hormones: Bood

- Contains chondrocytes: Cartilage

- Stores minerals: Bone

- Random arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense irregular connective tissue (CT)

- Cushions and insulates: Adipose tissue

Explanation:

The dense regular connective tissue (CT) is a type of connective tissue composed of collagen fibers arranged in a parallel pattern which provides a strong association between tissues (e.g., tendons and ligaments). Conversely, in dense irregular connective tissue, collagen fibers are not arranged in parallel bundles (e.g., the dermis in the skin and lamina propria in the gastrointestinal tract). Cartilage is a type of flexible connective tissue composed of chondrocytes, the unique type of cells in cartilage tissues. Chondrocytes are responsible to produce and maintain the collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) which is composed mainly of collagen and proteoglycans (proteins coated with sugar molecules). Bone is a type of connective tissue composed of cells (i.e., osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts), fibers and ground substance. Bones have many functions including, among others, store minerals (calcium and phosphate), protect internal organs, allow movement, provide internal support, etc. Blood is a type of connective tissue (because blood has a matrix) whose main function is to transport oxygen (O2) and essential substances (e.g., nutrients, hormones, etc) to the tissues, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the tissues to the lungs. Blood contains two different types of cells: red blood cells (i.e., erythrocytes) and white blood cells (i.e., leukocytes). Finally, adipose tissue is a special type of connective tissue in the subcutaneous layer that helps to cushion and insulate the body (providing insulation from heat and cold). Adipose tissue is composed mostly of adipocytes, which are cells that store energy in the form of lipid molecules.

Where in our environment does our body obtain the oxygen it needs? What two systems are responsible for obtaining the oxygen and
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

We get oxygen from the air i.e. atmosphere. Green plants release oxygen in the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Respiratory system is responsible for obtaining oxygen from the environment. Circulatory system on other hand helps in delivering this oxygen to different cells of the body with the help of blood.

We get nutrients from the food that we eat. Digestive system breaks down all the complex compounds (such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, fats etc) into simpler elements which are easy to absorb.  

CO_{2} produced as a waste product by the cells is carried by the blood to alveoli in the lungs where it gets diffused out and come out of the body as a part of exhale air. Hence, circulatory system helps in he transportation of CO_{2} from cells to the lungs and respiratory system helps in expelling it out from the lungs to the outside environment.

Solid wastes are mainly excreted out of the body from anus which is a part of digestive system. On the other hand, liquid waste (urine) is excreted out of the body with the help of urethra which is the part of excretory system. In addition, excess salts and water can also excrete out of the body through skin.

Muscles and bones together help us in our locomotion. Nervous system is important for proper functioning of bones and muscles.

Meiosis is the type of cell division used to produce haploid cells or gametes from a diploid parent cell. Hence, it is used in reproduction system to produce sperm in males and eggs in females.
