Which environmental problem is affecting Tuvalu?

Biology
2 answers:
ale4655 [162]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option B, Climate Change

Explanation:

In Tuvalu, the problem is due to its frequent climatic changes. The nation is witnessing continuous rising sea, storm, greenhouse gas issues, drying up of catchments etc.  

Most of the potable water requirement of Tuvalu is fulfilled by the storage system of the catchments which are getting dried. There is continuous erosion of beaches due to the carrying away of sand from beaches to use it in construction works and also there is excessive deforestation.  

All these devastating factors are causing a climate change in Tuvalu.

Thus option  B is correct

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
Mrac [35]
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.

An individual homozygous dominant for the thumb shape mates with an individual homozygous recessive for thumb shape. What are th
natulia [17]

Answer:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which is made to check the outcomes of a cross.

To check the probability of the offsprings of a cross between homozygous dominant thumb shape parent with a homozygous recessive thumb shape parent, let's draw a punnet square:  

        t              t

T    Tt            Tt

T    Tt            Tt

The results of the punnet square depict that:

Genotype: All of the offsprings will be heterozygous for the thumb shape trait. Tt will be the genotype.

Phenotype: All of the offsprings will show the thumb shape like the thumb shape of the dominant parent.

Water is drawn upward from the roots through plant tissue to the leaves by ________.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: a. capillary action.

Water is a taken up by the plants from the roots, which needs to be transferred to all the parts of the plants to conduct cellular metabolic processes like photosynthesis and respiration. The properties of water molecules are responsible for conduction of water from the root to the stem and other higher parts. The cohesion is the property of water which water molecules are combined with each other due to sharing of bonds at the atomic level. The adhesion is the property of water which allows water molecules to attach with other substances or substrate.  Adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. Capillary action occurs when the adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules. The supply will be upward and force of gravity will also be applicable on this. Capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. In this way water is drawn upward from the roots through plant tissues to the leaves by capillary action.

1. Medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligaments.      

2. Chondromalacia patellae

Explanation:

The knee is a ginglymus that connects the thigh to the leg. It is the largest joint in the human body, that plays a vital role in the horizantal and the vertical movement of the body.

There are <u>four ligaments</u> of knee joint, that joins the femur to the tibia and also provides stability by limiting movement. They are: <u>medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligaments.</u>

Chondromalacia patellae is a medical condition that includes inflammation of the cartilage on the posterior aspect of the patella, which leads to softening of the cartilage.
