In marine environment, many animals confuse the plastic littering the oceans for food including sea turtles. Once in these animal bodies the plastic accumulates, and the chemicals can cause excess estrogen to be produced, which has led to discoveries of male fish with female sex organs. For sea turtles, the plastic blocks their digestive tract and the food that is trapped releases gases that render them buoyant, and unable to dive for food. The turtle was slowly starving because a single use plastic bag, which she had eaten, was blocking her digestive tract.
The plastic contains destructible and harmful agents that is not good for human and animals health.
Answer:
The correct answer is "secondary succession, an ecological succession step where an area previously occupied by living beings is disrupted".
Explanation:
In ecological succession, an ecosystem changes and develops through a series of steps. The first step, is the primary successional stage where rocks or other sedimentary structures are colonized by microorganisms. The second step, where the ecosystems changes towards a relatively-stable mature stage, occurs when an area previously occupied by living beings is disrupted. This step is named secondary succession, and the most clear example of this phenomena occurs when wildfire clears oak and hickory forests.
Answer:
C. Nucleotides
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are macromolecules which are polymers of nucleotides. There are two types of nucleic acids namely: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids.
A nucleotide is made up of three components:
- A phosphate group
- A five carbon sugar called pentose sugar. In RNA the sugar is ribose sugar and in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose sugar.
- Nitrogenous bases: There are four different types of bases in DNA: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. In RNA thymine is replaced by uracil. Adenine and guanine are purines whereas cytosine, thymine and uracil are pyrimidines.
Nitrogenous base and sugar together are called nucleoside and when phosphate is also attached then it is called nucleotide.
Answer:
A. Water molecules are split.
Explanation:
The light dependent reactions of photosynthesis require the energy in sunlight to proceed. Structures called photosystems which contain chlorophyll absorb the light from the sun to generate excited electrons, which are transferred to electron carriers ATP and NADH.
These electron carriers are used in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
During this process, the high energy electrons are passed to an acceptor molecule and replaced with an electron from water. This splitting of water produces H+ ions and oxygen as a byproduct. The splitting of water is called photolysis
Among the given name of the equinoxes, the fall equinox and the spring equinox are the valid names for the equinoxes.
The fall equinox, or the autumn equinox is the September equinox, while the spring equinox, which is also known as the vernal equinox is the March equinox.
There are no such equinoxes as partial or total equinox.
Hence, the correct answer is option A and D.
