<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

A Single-Celled Organism

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2><h3><u></u></h3>

The giants of the deep are so-called xenophyophores, sponge-like animals that—like amoebas—are made of just one cell. They were found during a July research expedition run by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California.

The animals are about four inches (ten centimeters) long—among the largest single-celled organisms known to exist.

The creatures were discovered at depths of 6.6 miles (10.6 kilometers). That breaks a previous record for xenophyophores found in the New Hebrides Trench at 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometers).

Xenophyophores represent, <u>"one of the few groups of organisms found exclusively in the deep sea,"</u> said Lisa Levin, a Scripps oceanographer who studied the expedition's data.

<u>"If any creatures should be able to live at the ocean's greatest depth, then xenophyophores certainly should be among them."</u>

The Mariana xenophyophores were seen in footage from Dropcams, free-falling devices equipped with lights and digital video that were developed by the National Geographic Society. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)

Protected by thick walls of pressure-resistant glass, the Dropcams were baited to attract whatever marine life might be lurking in the deep. Expedition scientists also saw, for instance, the deepest-swimming jellyfish to date. (Watch a video of the expedition.)

<u>"The deep sea is the largest biome on Earth and holds much of the diversity on the planet—[yet it's still] largely undescribed,"</u> Levin said in an email to National Geographic News.

(Also see, <u>"Pictures: Hard-to-See Sea Creatures Revealed."</u>)

According to Jon Copley, a marine biologist at the U.K.'s University of Southampton, <u>"many of the major discoveries in deep-sea biology have come from making direct observations at the seafloor."</u>

<u>"The Dropcam is a great tool for the future, because it can help us see more of what's down there for less cost than using ROVs or submersibles,"</u> he said via email.

For instance, <u>"finding xenophyophores far deeper than before shows how much we still have to learn about our oceans depths and their inhabitants."</u>

Tullis Onsott, an expert in deep-sea microorganisms at Princeton University, also called the xenophyophore discovery, <u>"fantastic."</u>

In alzheimer's disease patients, amyloid plaques develop that contain misfolded beta-amyloid proteins. based on this observation
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Based on this observation you would predict that the MISFOLDED BETA AMYLOID PROTEINS COULD NOT BE REFOLDED BY THE CHAPERONE PROTEINS.
Chaperon proteins are proteins which assist newly formed proteins to form correctly. A protein that is already mis-folded can not be refolded by the chaperone proteins.

Consider a gene that affects flower color. this gene has two alleles, a and
Morgarella [4.7K]

The allele would be called codominant

When a dominant and recessive allele exist in an organism, only the dominant allele will be expressed. Dominant allele always mask the recessive because the gene code a protein while recessive gene doesn't. When both gene code a protein, they will be codominant and both gene will be expressed. The result could be a mixed effect. In this case, the purple is mixed color of red and blue.

What happen to the energy that was not passed on to the next tropic level?????<br> Please help AsAP
jekas [21]

Answer:

The energy that was not passed on the next tropic level is lost as heat

Explanation:

In an ecosystem flow of energy occur from one tropic level to the next one as the organism of one tropic level eats another organism belongs to the tropic level that is lower from that of previous one.

                    The 10% of total energy of one tropic level is passed to the next tropic level the rest of the energy is lost as heat in the environment.

Check Your Understanding 1. A system consists of components of matter and energy and the processes that involve the matter and e
irina [24]

Here, matter is gas, rock, lava and water, energy is heat, light. While the process in a system is melting and motion.

<h3>What is matter?</h3>

Matter is any material that has a mass and occupies space by having volume in classical physics and general chemistry.

Energy is a physical system's ability to perform work. The uppercase letter E is a common symbol for energy.

The act of determining the best intercommunication of processing units, as well as the best type and design of units in a process system.

In the given scenario,

  • Mater: gas, rock, lava and water.
  • Energy: heat, and light.
  • Process of system: melting and motion.

Thus, this way the given scenario can be classified.
