During the past 200 years, absorbed somewhere between one-third and one-half of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere
Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

1. the ocean have

2. water

3. acidic.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide fro the atmosphere dissolves in the seawater naturally. This process can be understood by the following process:

Water and carbon dioxide reacts to form carbonic acid that can dissociate into either carbonate ion or bicarbonate ion:

1. CO2 + H2O ====> H2CO3⁻ (carbonic acid)

2. H2CO3⁻ ======> H⁺ + HCO3⁻ (bicarbonate ion)

3. H2CO3⁻ ======> 2H⁺ + CO3⁻ (carbonate ion)

Due to the presence of proton ions in seawater, seawater becomes more acidic. As hydrogen ions bind to the carbonate ions to make bicarbonate ions, the carbonate ion reduced which is required to form the

Viruses that reproduce almost immediately after coming into contact with a host cell use which viral reproductive cycle?
Naddik [55]

The best answer is A.

The lytic cycle is considered the main cycle in viral replication. Once the viral DNA enters the cell, it transcribes itself into the host cell's messenger RNAs and uses them to direct the ribosomes.

The host cell's DNA is destroyed and the virus takes over the cell's metabolic activity and begins to use the cell's energy for its own propagation and within a short while, when the cell gets overcrowded with  the viral progeny, the original virus releases enzymes to break the cell wall. The cell wall bursts. This process is called lysis. The new viruses are then released.
