The illustration below represents the global conveyor belt, which is a collection of ocean currents that cycle water around the

oceans.
What does the global conveyor belt reveal about the connectivity of water in the oceans? How could a change in the path of the global conveyor belt impact the biodiversity of ocean ecosystems?

Answer: Global oceanic conveyor belt refers to the continuous motion of the water in the ocean due to the variation of temperature and salinity condition. The hot less dense saline water gets heated up in the equatorial region and travels towards a higher latitude i.e to the poles. This water when reaches higher latitudes, gets mixed up with the polar water becoming more denser saline water and gets sink below the ocean and travels back towards the south of the equator. During this process the water loses its heat into the atmosphere. This constant motion of water in both the hemisphere is overall known as the global oceanic conveyor Belt.

             Due to the existence of Coriolis force and the rotation of earth from eastern to the western side, the ocean currents moves in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.

             The path of this ocean current movement is directly related to the biodiversity of the ecosystem in ocean. Change in its path would lead to a different pressure, temperature scenerio, which could be catastrophic in nature. It will affect the lives existing in ocean and because of higher salinity some species might not be able to adopt that environment.

Spherocytosis is a human blood disorder associated with a defective cytoskeletal protein in the red blood cells (rbcs). what do
Alex17521 [72]
In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

Why is it argued that speech is only possible in modern homo sapiens and not in homo erectus or homo neanderthalensis? the brain
Oxana [17]

Answer: homo sapiens is the only species with a large enough oral cavity and a low enough larynx to allow for speech production. 

<span>One line of evidence that speech only possible for modern homo sapiens is the anatomy of their throat. Speech depends on certain anatomical arrangements and the Homo sapiens is the only species with a large enough oral cavity and a low enough larynx that would allow speech.</span>
