The correct answer is option c. organisms that are sensitive to changes in temperature would die.

The survival of the aquatic organism is favored by the high specific heat of the water, as it opposes the sudden change in temperature. In case, the water had low specific heat, the changes in the external temperature would suddenly increase or decrease the temperature of the water, it may create a problem to the species that are sensitive to change in temperature.

Calcium (Ca) has an atomic number of 20. What is calcium's ground-state electron configuration?
Lana71 [14]

I belive the answer is C. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

Electron configuration are used to tell the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule. The electron configuration order should follow a specific path. You will found some similarity of the rule with the number of row in the periodic table. After the electrons fill 3P, the electron should fill 4S before it go to 3D.

Describe the process of photorespiration. what is its effect on the rate of photosynthesis
Lynna [10]
Before the Siderian period the world had much less oxygen in it. Meaning, seas devoid of oxygen. Durring the Siderian the algae activity that signifies the period began to pump oxygen into the oceans. Allowing then unreactive metalic iron in the sea to be precipitated out into iron oxide. In the case of temperature being a culprit in the Siderian, most likely not. Unless you factor it into giving the agal life energy. Temperature does affect oxidation, but oxidation cannot occur without oxygen. The higher the temperature, the easier it is for oxygen to bond with iron, the lower, the slower it will react.
