Of all the water on the earth, only about 3% is fresh water. 68% of all the freshwater is frozen as glaciers and is unavailable

for human consumption. We have the technology to desalinate the ocean water to make it drinkable. Why is it that we do not desalinate water on a large scale to increase the total amount of fresh water available for humans? A) The desalination process is too expensive to do on a large scale. B) We cannot make the salt water clean enough for human consumption. C) We currently desalinate tremendous volumes of ocean water for humans. Eliminate D) There is no need for desalination as humans can safely drink ocean water.

Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

The procedure of purifying ocean water, that is, the saline water so that it can become suitable for drinking is termed as desalination. Almost 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and of this only 3 percent is used for drinking purposes. On a huge scale, the process of desalination would require the boiling of water, which would eventually require an enormous amount of energy.  

Reverse osmosis and electro-dialysis are the methods used for desalination. However, these procedures are very costly and cannot be performed on a huge level as it can affect the economy of various countries.

Answer:

There is no diagram but

It would be A if you were looking at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

It would be B if you were looking at a mitochondrion.

I do not remember what C is, so if it is not the ER, Golgi apparatus, or the mitochondrion, it is most likely C.

It would be D if you were looking at a Golgi apparatus

1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.

2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Intermediate Product Accumulation

Explanation:

If one of the crucial enzyme say B is mutated in the process of normal product formation, then the reaction will not proceed further from that point and accumulation of an intermediate product in the cell takes place. The mutation in the enzyme could be environmental or genetic but it will surely alter the enzyme functioning. In the end, the damage malfunctioning cell will be removed using the process of apoptosis.
