Answer:

The correct answer is- iodine

Explanation:

Thyroid glands is an important endocrine gland of the body which release hormone called thyroid hormone in the blood. It plays an important role in metabolism, brain development, and function, muscle control, etc.

The active form of thyroxine is triiodothyronine and the formation of thyroid hormone requires the availability of iodine. Four iodine atoms are present in thyroxine and 3 is present in triiodothyronine. Without iodine, they can not be produced.  

Therefore iodine is the essential element that is required for the manufacturing of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

Answer:

Covalent bonds form when two atoms share valence electrons,

while Van der Waals forces cause an attraction between nonpolar

molecules

Explanation:

A covalent bond is said to be formed when two atoms of the same or different elements share electrons. In an ordinary covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one valence electron while in a dative covalent bond only one of the bonding atoms provides the shared pair of electrons.

Van Der Waals forces is the major intermolecular interaction between non polar compounds. Van Der Waals forces " are caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles"(Wikipedia).

just olya [345]

Answer:

Marine mining is a process that can be done by dredging the seabed and is used for the extraction of mineral resources from the seabed, which are non-renewable, with a negative impact on marine ecosystems.

Explanation:

The illustration shows a process of marine mining by dredging, where the resource extracted is of a mineral nature, like copper, zinc, silver and gold. Gravel used for construction can also be extracted from the sea. Mineral resources extracted from the sea are not renewable.

The process of marine mining can be harmful to the ecosystems there, so it must be a process that requires control and management from the ecological point of view.

Two possible consequences of not regulating marine mining are:

  1. <u><em>Destruction of the habitat of life forms present on the sea floor</em></u><em>, which endangers many species and even forces migration to more stable areas, with consequences on the food chains. </em>
  2. <em><u>Extinction of marine species that inhabit the seabed</u></em><em>. The flora and fauna of the sea floor usually have slow reproductive cycles and, in the case of fish, spawning takes place on the bottom of the sea. Mining endangers the reproductive cycles of the species, leading to induced extinction.</em>

Responsible and controlled mining activity can be useful for humans, while avoiding negative consequences on the ecosystems that exist at the seabed.

MrRa [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) genetic bottleneck. 
B) sexual selection. 
C) habitat differentiation. 
D) founder effect.
</span>
The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.
