Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.

Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid. Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.

Explanation:

The energy animals need for their life functions are released when their cells carry out cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process by which living organisms breaks down organic molecules using oxygen especially glucose to produce energy and gives off carbon dioxide and water in the process.

It is the reverse of photosynthesis.

During this process, chemical energy stored in food substances are released and converted to heat energy.

The process takes place in the mitochondria of a cell.
