With reference to the diagrams below, describe how fishes and bottom dwelling polychaete worms cope with the fluctuating salinit
klasskru [66]

Fishes and bottom dwelling worms cope with the fluctuating salinity within estuaries over the tidal cycle with the use of transport system such as active and passive transport.

<h3>How active and passive transport system are used?</h3>

In salty water, fish and other marine organisms used active transport in which energy is used to remove salts from the body of these marine organisms because excess salts are harmful for them.

So we can conclude that Fishes use transport system such as active and passive transport to cope with the fluctuation of salt concentration.

If Avery had observed transformation using only the extracts containing degraded DNA, degraded RNA, and degraded protein, but NO
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Polysaccharides are the genetic material.

Explanation:

Avery did not observe transformation using the extracts containing degraded DNA. On the other hand, extracts with degraded RNA, proteins, and polysaccharides exhibited transformation. Therefore, he concluded that DNA is the genetic material responsible for transformation. If he would have observed the process of transformation using extracts containing degraded DNA but not with degraded polysaccharides, he might have concluded that "polysaccharides were the genetic material responsible for the process of transformation."
