b. Selenium will be at a higher concentration in fish tissue than in the tissue of fish prey.
c. Fish will have a higher concentration of selenium than mercury in their tissues.
d. Selenium will be at a higher concentration in acid mine drainage than in fish tissues.

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

To test if the selenium from the mine has an effect on the fish living in the lake which i assume is close to the mine, testing the tissue of the fish from that lake and comparing it to the selenium levels of the fish from a nearby lake would be a testable hypothesis because there is a comparable aspect and there should be a difference in the numbers between the fish from the two lakes because of their distance to the mine.

I hope this answer helps.

People claim these rock formations in the Sahara Desert look like a mushroom and a chicken. They were not sculpted by humans. Wh
miskamm [114]
Mainly because of erosion by the wind, which geographers call abrasion. When the wind blows in some hot deserts it will pick up millions of grains of sand. When the wind hits an outcrop of rock the sand it is carrying is blasted against it. Over time it would form to become that funky mushroom shape.

Complete the sentences to correctly describe steps in fatty acid synthesis. move the terms to the appropriate blanks. some terms
Eddi Din [679]

The synthesis of fatty acids starts with a preparratory phase in which acetyl CoA is translocated from mitochondria to the cytosol. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is translocated as citrate that is cleaved to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is transformed to malonyl-CoA, that is, a three carbon compound. Fatty acid synthesis starts with the transfer of the acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to fatty acid synthase.

Two-carbon groups supplied by malonyl-CoA, are supplemented to the developing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction, and dehydration reactions. Elongation of the fatty acid chain ceases at 16 carbon atoms, after 7 cycles, as the free fatty acid is discharged.
