Answer:

A

Explanation:

The deep cooler currents in the oceans have more nutrients because of several factors;

  • They are cold and dense hence can hold much oxygen
  • The ‘scrap’ along the ocean floor hence  carry with them dissolved mineral elements from the rocky bottom.
  • The dead organisms that sink to the bottom of the oceans are carried by these currents.

When the trade winds push the warm waters towards the east, the cooler water from the bottom upwell (from the west in a cyclic fashion) to replace the displaced water by the winds. They bring with them nutrients and oxygen that is great ‘fodder’ for plankton. The plants are then fed on by smaller fish like shrimps. The smaller fish are then preyed on by bigger fish hence sustaining food chains/webs.

Answer:

converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue

Explanation:

When protein is taken in excess amount, because it cannot be stored in the body, it can be broken down to amino acids, which is further used as carbon skeletons to synthesize fats, which is then further stored in the adipose tissues.

When the body is not receiving enough calories from other nutrient sources like carbohydrates and fats, the available protein is the used as energy to meet the body's energy demands, by converting it to fat.

Note that, excess intake of protein can be harmful to the body.
