2.) The seafloor holds promise as a source of many natural resources, including valuable metals. As demand for natural marine re

sources increases, mining these resources from the seafloor also increases. One concern of seafloor mining is the disruption of the seafloor habitat. Which of the following describes the most likely impact of seafloor mining on the surrounding marine environment?
A.) Alteration in seafloor sediments rich in carbon would cause loss of species and an unbalanced population in marine food webs.

B.) Increased levels of metals in the ocean would result in decrease of marine bivalves due to weakened shells.

C.) Methane gas would pollute the marine environment and cause an overabundance of bacteria that feed on it.

D.) Nonrenewable resources in the marine environment would become depleted and affect the balance of the ecosystem.

Answer: A.) Alteration in seafloor sediments rich in carbon would cause loss of species and an unbalanced population in marine food webs.

Explanation:

The seafloor mining will have a drastic impact over the sea ecosystem. The mining process will expose the partially decomposed organic matter to the sea water. This will result in the increase in abundance of the organic carbon in the sea water. This will readily absorbed by the aquatic plants but the increase in abundance will likely to kill sea animals because carbon is the waste material discharged by the organisms and oxygen is the basic requirement for all the cells of the body. This will negatively influence the populations of the marine food webs.

<span>The answer would be A. it would not be D because marine life does not concern metals and other resources like that. It would be A because life needs carbon, it already does, but it needs to be well balanced and not disrupted. </span>

Which of the following are common traits of chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Both have their own DNA.

Explanation:

Both chloroplast and mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles which means that they both have their own DNA. Both of these organelles have a circular DNA and make some of their own proteins by themselves. Both are double membrane-bound organelles. Chloroplast has a third membrane system called thylakoid.

Chloroplasts are found in the plant cells only as they are the site for photosynthesis. Mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells and are the site for cellular respiration to produce energy to support the vital functions of cells.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>As transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location,  post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes. </h2>

Explanation:

The transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location and can be co-translation.

As, in eukaryotes, the transcription occurs in the nucleus and then this transcript have to move in the cytoplasm to translation, so before reaching in the cytoplasm, various modifications occur in this transcript known as post transcriptional modification or processing ( include 5' capping, 3' poly-adenylation and RNA splicing).

As, in prokaryotes, both transcription and translation occur at same place so there is no time for modification for transcript because translation starts as the transcription is still going on.
