To protect against introduced species, some states have laws preventing oceangoing ships from dumping ballast water in harbors o

r posts. What does this indicate about introduced species?
many are fish that live in salty ocean water
many are native to freshwater harbors

I would choose C.
A isn't the best of option because it does not directly mention fresh vs. salt water.
B does not make sense because it is discussing introduced species not native ones.
And D literally just has no relevance.

I would go with C because it is literally drawing attention to introduced species because of dumping ballast waters.

Why does surface tension occur?
Kisachek [45]
Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity. ... This inward net force causes the molecules on the surface to contract and to resist being stretched or broken.

Clathrin coated vesicles bud from eukaryotic plasma membrane fragments when adaptor proteins, clathrin and dynamin-GTP are added
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: Clathrin cages assemble, vesicles form but cannot be pinched of but no disassembly occurs so the vesicles remain coated in clathrin.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is a cellular mechanism that allows the introduction of extracellular material into the cell. Clathrin-coated vesicles act to incorporate different molecules that are recognized by specific proteins located in the clathrin-coated pits. Upon invagination of a portion of the plasma membrane, the material is transported to its final intracellular destination.

<u>Clathrin is a protein that forms the lining of cell membrane microcavities where various receptors are located. Once a particle is recognized by the receptors, invagination of the plasma membrane occurs, which then fuses to form an endocellular vesicle.</u> When vesicle budding occurs, the vesicle is detached from its attachment to the membrane with the help of a GTPase protein called dynamin. Then, the vesicle is freed from clathrin by the action of a type of ATP-ase called Hsp70-ATP and docks to late endosomes that are immediate precursors of lysosomes, fusing the membranes of both. The fission of the clathrin-coated vesicle is controlled by the GTPase dynamin and it has been proposed that dynamin acts by generating the necessary force to strangle the "neck" and cleave the vesicles from the membrane. So they are mainly involved in the cleavage of newly formed vesicles from the membrane of one cell compartment, their orientation, and their fusion with another compartment. Also, without the dynamin, vesicles are not freed from clathrin.

<u>In the absence of dynamin, vesicles are formed but the membrane fusion or pinching off will not occur. Then, invaginated coated pits will be found.</u>

In the ocean, plants and other photosynthetic organisms take in carbon. This carbon is transferred through the food web into the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

C.  Oceans are carbon sinks because they store more carbon than they emit.

Explanation:

Oceans are carbon sinks because they store more carbon than they emit. Most of the carbon is produced in the respiration process as well as burning of fossil fuels. This carbon moves to the atmosphere and dissolved into the ocean which is required by the vegetation of ocean. Due to this carbon, vegetation produced more food for the organisms. About 25% of all CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean. Source is the part of a plant where materials are produced e.g. leaves whereas Sink refers to the part of the plant where the substrate can be stored e.g. roots or stem for starch.
