Answer: Medicines based on chemical compounds occurring in the marine environment.

Explanation:

Marine biotechnology is the sub-discipline of the field of biotechnology which deals with the application of cell biology, molecular biology and biotechnology. It is linked with the exploration of the ocean at the surface and the seafloor. It is connected to the study of marine animals and plants and also the non-living components of the marine environment such as sand, water and rocks. So as to derive chemical compounds from them to produce cosmetic products, drugs and medicine. It also deals with the improvement in the  aquaculture and seafood production, preparation of biofuels from the marine animals and plants.  

Among the options given Medicines based on chemical compounds occurring in the marine environment. is the correct one as it involves the use of chemical compounds from marine animals, plants and even the debris of the seafloor so as to produce medicine. Hence, it involves the implementation of biotechnology for medical science.

1. Hypothesize in what type of environments it would be advantageous for a protist to be autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrop
azamat

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Protists fall into the category of eukaryotes. They are diverse in nature and typically are found to be single celled organisms containing very organized structures.They are classified based on what is their source of nutrition.

<u>Autotrophic</u> - capable of photosynthesis to produce their own food, so an environment where sunlight, CO2 and water is available.

<u>Heterotrophic</u> - feed on other organisms , an environment where prey is plenty and very limited or no access to sunlight.

<u>Mixotrophic</u> - a combination of the above two, an environment with all of the aforementioned factors present.

The human oral microbiota contains over 700 species of bacteria. One species often found in the oral cavity is Streptococcus mut
Goryan [66]

Answer:

B. A drug that prevents the conversion of glucose into pyruvate

Explanation:

<em>Streptococcus mutans</em> is a facultatively anaerobic bacterium, i.e., a microorganism capable of producing ATP by both aerobic (when there is oxygen), and anaerobic (i.e., when there is no oxygen available) conditions. This bacterium is observed in the human oral cavity where causes the majority of tooth decay. <em>S. mutans</em> can digest carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, fructose and lactose) in order to produce lactic acid, which contributes to tooth decay. Glycolysis is the fermentation of glucose to pyruvate in anaerobic conditions, and thereby it is expected that a drug capable of preventing the conversion of glucose into pyruvate in anaerobic conditions is effective to prevent cavities caused by <em>S. mutans</em>.
