Polar bears are animals that live in cold environments. Their environment should be a place conducive for breeding and propagating their species. If ice caps are melting and the length of the cold season is declining because of the effects of climate change, polar bears will have less time hunting for food. Generally, the coldest season is the best hunting time for polar bears. It is easier to catch seals and fish due to the thickness of the ice and the rise of water in their environment. This time to hunt is enough to restore the polar bears’ body fat and fitness in preparation for the warm season where there is less ice and food. <span>As the warm season lengthens, the condition of the polar bears’ bodies decline resulting to effects that are serious for pregnant polar bears who are nursing and cubs who need their mothers’ energies to survive the harsh environment. </span>

The atoms of elements sometimes become "sequestered" in the environment. which of the following is an example of this?
Marta_Voda [28]

d. carbon atoms in ocean water

Explanation:

The carbon atoms in ocean water is one of the ways through which carbon is sequestered in nature.

Sequestration of carbon implies the storage of carbon either naturally or artificially for a very long time.

Carbon sequestration cuts off carbon from the normal biogeochemical cycle and stores it in natural reservoirs for a very long duration.

  • In nature, carbon is sequestered a whole lot through biological and chemical activities.
  • Phytoplanktons are food producers. When consumed by higher organisms, their organic materials which contains carbon can become sequestered when the consumer dies and falls to the bottom of the ocean.
  • Organisms that used carbonate to manufacture their shells in the ocean also sequesters carbon.
