Answer: Mercury has been well known as an environmental pollutant for several decades. As early as the 1950's it was established that emissions of mercury to the environment could have serious effects on human health. These early studies demonstrated that fish and other wildlife from various ecosystems commonly attain mercury levels of toxicological concern when directly affected by mercury-containing emissions from human-related activities. Human health concerns arise when fish and wildlife from these ecosystems are consumed by humans.
During the past decade, a new trend has emerged with regard to mercury pollution. Investigations initiated in the late 1980's in the northern-tier states of the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries found that fish, mainly from nutrient-poor lakes and often in very remote areas, commonly have high levels of mercury. More recent fish sampling surveys in other regions of the U.S. have shown widespread mercury contamination in streams, wet-lands, reservoirs, and lakes. To date, 33 states have issued fish consumption advisories because of mercury contamination.
These continental to global scale occurrences of mercury contamination cannot be linked to individual emissions of mercury, but instead are due to widespread air pollution. When scientists measure mercury levels in air and surface water, however, the observed levels are extraordinarily low.
Explanation:
The results of Harlow's experiment were
overwhelming with an average infant monkey spending
17-18 hours per day on the
cloth mother and
less than an hour per day on the wire mother.
Harlow Harlow established the
nature of affection by experimenting on infant monkeys responses to compare the
influence of nursing from the influence of contact comfort. To study this, he compared
a wire mother who provided food, and a cloth mother who did not provide food.
The infant monkeys preferred contact comfort and spent more time with the cloth
mother than the wire mother.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane into the water. Another good example of osmosis would be dipping a sponge into water, because there is a higher concentration outside, so the water goes in and makes the sponge expand
One way that bacteria and archaea is in the structure of the cell membranes.
