Phytoplankton are microscopic marine plants that perform photosynthesis. They are responsible for removing the majority of carbo

n dioxide from the atmosphere to the ocean. Phytoplankton prefer cooler water temperatures. With the increasing ocean temperatures, phytoplankton are traveling to cooler areas in the ocean. Phytoplankton are important to the marine food web. Many marine primary consumers rely on phytoplankton. Since phytoplankton remove more than half of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and perform photosynthesis then they are responsible for releasing around 60%-70% of what essential element back into the atmosphere?

The correct answer is - oxygen.

The phytoplankton and the microscopic marine plants are using the process of photosynthesis in order to produce energy for them. In order for this process to take place, two things are needed, sunlight and carbon dioxide. The consumed carbon dioxide is not totally used, but there's some waste from it. The waste is actually the oxygen. The oxygen is released and it gets back into the atmosphere. This gas is crucial for the survival of the living organisms on the planet, especially the animals, so it is extremely import that the environment of the phytoplankton and the microscopic marine plants is not destroyed, as they are the ones that release the biggest amount of oxygen into the atmosphere.

Role of hormones in bullet points <br> Please help!
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

There is growing evidence to indicate that age-related declines in growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and androgen and estrogen production play a role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia (an age-related decline in muscle mass and quality). Although GH supplementation has been reported to increase lean body mass in elderly individuals, the high incidence of adverse effects combined with a very high cost has limited the applicability of this form of therapy. The assessment of an alternative approach to enhance the GH/IGF-1 axis in the elderly by using GH-releasing hormone and other secretagogues is currently under way and is showing some promise. Testosterone replacement therapy may increase muscle mass and strength and decrease body fat in hypogonadal elderly men. Long-term randomised, controlled trials are needed, however, to better define the risk-benefit ratio of this form of therapy before it can be recommended. Available data are currently insufficient to decide what role estrogen replacement therapy may play in the management of sarcopenia. Therefore, although the evidence linking age-related hormonal changes to the development of sarcopenia is rapidly growing, it is still too early to determine the clinical utility of hormonal supplementation in the management of sarcopenia.

If Cas9 edits DNA, why is a molecule of RNA needed in a CRISPR complex?
pantera1 [17]

Explanation:

The use of CRISPR/Cas9 avoids the need for protein engineering to develop a site-specific nuclease against a specific DNA target sequence, requiring only the synthesis of a new piece of RNA. This dramatically simplifies and greatly reduces the time needed for gene editing design and implementation.

A nerve signal is also called a/n _______.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

pulse

axon

action potential

frontal lobe

hypothalamus

occipital

dopamine

Before receiving a nerve impulse, a neuron is at its resting potential, with more negative charges inside the cell than on the outside of the cell. When the neuron receives the nerve impulse, it is depolarized, allowing positive ions to flow across the cell membrane into the neuron. This is called an action potential, and the action potential travels the length of the neuron, taking advantage of the myelin sheath on many neurons. Once the signal has traveled through the neuron, the sodium-potassium pump repolarizes the cell, restoring the resting potential of the neuron.

If the ecosystem is balanced, which populations should be the largest? Which should be the smallest?
Evgesh-ka [11]

There would be more prey than predators, as for a predator to have a balanced diet it should have a plentiful supply of food, meaning it needs more prey.  You're welcome!
