Answer:

Overfishing is the level of excessive capture of marine animals.

Explanation:

Overfishing poses a great threat to marine biodiversity and ecological balance. The abundance of populations of large predators such as cod, tuna and swordfish has decreased by 90% due to overfishing. If we continue fishing at the current rate, scientists estimate that by 2048 any fish in the sea will have disappeared. Our seas are vulnerable and sensitive and a sudden and significant change in the number of individuals of a species can put great pressure on their ecological environment and a change in the balance of the oceans, and even in the food chain of other species.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The coastal upwelling and changes in wind and water circulation patterns is the main natural cause of dead zones.

Fertilizers cause hypoxia due to the over growth of algae on the surface of water bodies.

Explanation:

Coastal upwelling is the cause of dead zones in which water that is present in depth comes to the surface of ocean due to the movement of water because of wind. Fertilizers cause hypoxia due to the over growth of algae on the surface of water bodies. The fertilizers increases the algal growth by providing nutrients necessary for its growth. This over growth decreases oxygen concentration in water and affect marine organisms.

Answer:

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the primary cause of cholera disease that mainly infects the small intestine and primarily leads to the dehydration of the body.

Explanation:

The genetic analysis reveals that the aforementioned causative bacteria surpass the acidic conditions of the stomach and eventually reaches the intestinal wall and attaches to it. This is followed by the production of toxic protein by the bacterium. This protein is taken inside the cell via receptor mediated endocytosis followed by its binding to the host protein Arf6. This binding leads to the production of cAMP that results in the dehydration process. This mechanism leads to excessive accumulation of chloride ion in the intestine preventing the entry of sodium ion.

These two ions are associated with the creation of water-salt environment in the intestine that leads to tremendous diarrhea via the process of osmosis.

Hence, we can say that cholera bacterium affects the individuals at the cellular level and osmosis plays a vital role in the process.
