As scientists advise about potential risks due to climate change, species loss is a high ranking ecological concern. One group o

f species, the penguin, is of major concern. The Adelie penguin of Antarctica is undergoing population decline, with a 30% decline likely in the next thirty years, Which of these is NOT a potential factor in Adelie penguin decline due to climate change? A) Increased global temperatures decrease the habitat and ice cover in Antarctica for this penguins. B) Increased evaporation can increase the salinity of the ocean, resulting in salty conditions that harm the penguins. C) Increased global temperatures decreases the food available to the penguins as certain sensitive ocean species are declining. D) Increased melting and precipitation in the Antarctic can cause penguin young without waterproof feathers to get wet and freeze to death.

Answer:

B) Increased evaporation can increase the salinity of the ocean, resulting in salty conditions that harm the penguins.

Explanation:

After tracking data on penguins over the past 30 years, researchers said numbers of the Antarctic-born Adelie and Chinstrap Penguins have been falling since 1986. This is a result of the damaging action of the man who has triggered global warming. and made life difficult for these species.

The warming of the waters due to climate change has caused the reduction of the ice sheet reducing the habitat of this animal that is exposed to predators, besides the increase of global temperature has reduced the population of Krill, the main food of these penguins, besides melting. and increased precipitation in Antarctica can cause young penguins without waterproof feathers to wet and freeze to death.

Answer:

<u>Cellulose</u> - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

<u>Chlorophyll</u> - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

<u>Chloroplast</u> - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.  

<u>Bryophyte</u> - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

<u>Pterophyte</u> - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

<u>Gymnosperm</u> - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

<u>Cone</u> - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

<u>Angiosperm</u> - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

<u>Flower</u> - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

<u>Cuticle</u> - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

<u>Vascular tissue</u> - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

<u>Xylem</u> - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

<u>Phloem</u> - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

<u>Roots</u> - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

<u>Root hairs</u> - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

<u>Stems</u> - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

<u>Leaves</u> - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

<u>Photosynthesis</u> - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).
