Do marine organisms at higher trophic levels contain higher levels of mercury

Biology
1 answer:
raketka [301]4 years ago
5 0
Marine organisms at higher trophic levels will have higher concentrations than animals in lower trophic levels. This is because mercury is not easily eliminated from these organisms so the concentration can increase as you go up the food chain. For example, one fish eats five shrimp each with one molecule of mercury, the fish now contains five molecules. If a larger fish eats several fish with five molecules of mercury then the concentration increases through the trophic levels.

Strawberry DNA Extraction lab What was the purpose of the Sodium Chloride? Include a discussion of polarity and charged particle
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.
