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>

What benefits do plants and animals (and fungi) have in developing the organ system? Why?​
N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Animals, plants, and fungi often have many different organs whose different functions are integrated, enabling multicellular organisms to maintain themselves, grow, and reproduce. Two or more tissues that work together to get a job done form an organ. A group of organs that works together to perform a certain job is an organ system. Organ systems found in plants, animals, and other multicellular organisms allow these organisms to function more efficiently."

Answer:

espero que te sirva

Explanation:

El número de animales salvajes que viven en la Tierra va camino de disminuir en dos tercios para el año 2020, según el informe Planeta Vivo de WWF, en el que se señala que la extinción parcial de especies está destruyendo el sustento biológico del que depende la humanidad. Este informe, el más completo realizado hasta la fecha, indica que las poblaciones de animales se desplomaron en un 58% entre 1970 y 2012 y todo apunta a que esta pérdida podrá alcanzar el 67% en 2020.

Name three desirable traits that are being transferred into genetically engineered food crops how might these traits helped incr
____ [38]
<span>The first desirable trait that is being engineered into our crops is sustainability. This means that crops are being bred to be able to grow in adverse conditions, ensuring the ability to sustain our food supply as humans. The second, are the alterations being genetically done to crops to eliminate the need for pesticides. By heightening the crops natural ability to eliminate and deter pests, there are higher yields and the elimination of pesticides seeping into and poisoning the human consumer. And, finally an ability to eliminate the need for traditional breeding in crops. By genetically replicating plants, we are eliminating the chance that the human race may "run out", of seeds, of starts, of the need for pollination. This basically ensures us an unlimited food supply, just in these three traits being bred into our crops.</span>
