The lungs expand and with that you breathe in air as the diaphram contracts and relaxs to cause "breathing"
Answer:
White shark bites, parasites, food availability, habitat degradation are among some of the contributing factors threatening the recovery of the species. The greatest threat to a sea otter is the oil spills.
Hope this helps!
Extra - Fun fact - Sea otters play a vital role in the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem as a keystone species.
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
The correct answer is: B) H2O
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a light reaction and it occurs in the thylakoid membrane and it involves two different chlorophyll photosystem.
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a reaction where a water molecule is broken down into 2H+ + 1/2 O2 + 2e− . This process is called photolysis. The 2H+ and 1/2O2 from the water are left out for further use, while two electrons are kept in photosystem II.
