"Over the past few decades, researchers have observed declining numbers in two species of penguins native to the West Antarctic

peninsula. New evidence is pointing to a decline in their food supply as the primary cause for the recent drops in their numbers. These penguins feed on krill, small animals that grow and develop under ice masses. The graphs below show data related to two factors: atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and Antarctic ice mass. The diagram of a generalized Antarctic food web illustrates the role of the penguins.
Explain why the change in ice mass is resulting in a decline in the penguin populations."

There are a few very good reasons why the change in the ice mass results in a decline in the populations of penguins. One reason is the penguins food source grows and develops under the the ice masses. Another reason is a loss of habitat for the penguins. When there is less ice, there are fewer krill for the penguins to eat.

What molecules are made during transcription

storchak [24]
If Lorenzo would quit smoking,reduce his intake of alcohol and improve his healthy eating behaviors and also increasing his physical activity it would mean his lifestyle changes would then increase telomerase activity. Increase telomerase is one way of the body to deal with stress and for the protection of DNA from destruction.

mina [271]

Answer:

Question: Two requirements for gas exchange which are accomplished by the gills in a fish include:

1. Water flowing in opposite directions across the gill lamellae for gas exchange, in other words, respiration is experienced by the fish.

2. The fish allows water through its mouth, then forces the water to drain through the gills supporting gill lamellae, and enhancing gas exchange.

Question: How does their structure help to satisfy these requirements?

1. The rows of gill filaments with numerous folds through diffusion makes sure oxygen from the water moves from a place of more concentration to the blood of the fish which has less concentration causing the removal of carbon dioxide.

2. The large surface area of the gill means it has to maximize the low percentage of dissolved oxygen in the water compared to the higher percentage of oxygen in the air makes it possible for water to pass through the mouth and empty through the gills after the mouth is closed.
