How would a tsunami most likely affect the abundance of aquatic organisms in the intertidal zone of the ocean?

Biology

AlexFokin [52]3 years ago

Answer: C). A tsunami would decrease abundance by causing physical damage to the organisms and their ecosystems.

An intertidal zone is also known as littoral zone. It is the region which is covers the foreshore and seabed. This region is exposed to the affects of tides. This region is highly vulnerable to tsunamis. The tsunami will disturb the habitat of organisms living in intertidal zone. Therefore, will result in decrease in abundance of aquatic organisms.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the fourth choice "A tsunami would decrease abundance by concentrating the salinity of the water near where it made landfall."

Tsunamis<span> scrape seafloor sediments and invertebrates, crash through coral reefs and destroy coastal vegetation.</span>

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Which of these is least likely to be an adaptation of an organism to its environment?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."

Explanation:

All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.

The slope is also know as
siniylev [52]

Answer:

rise over run

Explanation:

rise refers to the number of units going u or down a graph

run refers to the number of units going left or right

it is seen as so; \frac{rise}{run} , \frac{ delta y}{deltax} , or   \frac{y_{2}  - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x{1}}

Don't panic when I included "delta". Delta, it refers/means the small mathematical triangle found beside the rise and run symbols of y and x

During aerobic respiration, the energy within the bonds of a glucose molecule is released in small amounts in a step-by-step, en
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: In this process, the energy released in form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used to POWER BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the process by which living organisms breaks down glucose molecule to release energy. Oxygen is used for this process that's why the name aerobic.

Aerobic respiration releases energy within the bonds of glucose step by step in an enzyme controlled reaction. The stages of these processes includes:

--> Glycolysis: In this stage, glucose molecules are split to produce two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH (another energy carrying molecule).

--> Krebs Cycle: this is the second stage which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The 2 ATP molecules generated from glycolysis is used to produce two more ATP, 8 more NADH and 2 molecules of FADH. This makes it a total of 16 energy molecules ( including 2 molecules of ATP from glycolysis).

--> Electron transport chain: this is the last stage of aerobic respiration which takes part at the inner member of the mitochondria. Electrons are transported from molecule to molecule down an electron-transport chain. Some of the energy from the electrons ( NADH and FADH from kreb cycle) is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of many more molecules of ATP. As a result 32 more ATP are generated.

In conclusion, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose in the process of aerobic respiration which are used to power biological processes.

A lab group was working and did not turn off their hot plate. They left their beaker on it with water boiling and a thermometer
Sloan [31]

Answer:

It is always important to turn off the hot plate because objects around it can catch on fire, things could explode if something is left on it, or someone could get injured.

Yes, you can tell if the water is boiling or if there is steam in the beaker/condensation.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
