The correct answer is - C. Threatening rain forest organisms.

The mining of the aluminium from the new bauxite deposits in the tropical ares of the world unfortunately lead to the destruction of the rain forests and the organisms living in them.

In order for the mining to take place, the area needs to cleared from the rain forest. Also, roads need to be made in order for the ore to be transported, and to make roads, lot of rain forest needs to be cleared, again. The mines and the rods will be on a very large area, thus the destruction of the rain forest being on a large scale, and because the environment will be destroyed, lot of species of flora and fauna will become threatened. Also, the mining results in pollution, mostly in the rivers, thus affecting the organisms in the rivers as well.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The conclusion is that different matters have different biomass percentages.

Explanation:

Different matters have different biomass percentages because they are formed from different elements. each biomass is formed from the elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. for example, the human body is composed of 30 percent of biomass while 70 percent is water. the percentages of different elements are carbon (12%), nitrogen (0.6%), hydrogen (62.9%), oxygen (24%), calcium (0.24%) and phosphorus (0.14%). At each level, only 10 percent of biomass is transferred to another level and remaining 90 percent releases in the form of heat.
