What is the best explanation as to why the Thwaites Glacier is melting so rapidly?

Biology
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Carbon dioxide has been released by the burning of fossil fuels. This process is increasing the ocean's water temperature resulting in the glacier melting

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide emissions have constantly been on the rise ever since the Industrial Revolution occurred. The burning of the fossil fuels is the main reason why there is such high quantity of this gas released into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, thus it contributes to the arming up of the atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is warming up, the water is warming up as well. The higher temperature of the water results in melting of the glaciers, such as Thwaites Glacier. As the process continues, more and more of the glacier will be melted, with the end result being relatively big rise of the sea level.

Answer:

a) the molecules can be found in the picture below

b) (i) isocitrate lyase ( isocitrate to glyoxylate)

   (ii) malate synthase (glyoxylate to malate)

c)  Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals

Explanation:

b) in the glyoxylate cycle isocitrate lyase helps in conversion of  isocitrate to glyoxylate. Also, helps in conversion of glyoxylate to malate by using malate synthase.

c)   Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals, it only exist in plants and bacteria. This is because they can produce glucose from acetyl-CoA in required amounts.They have the ability to change acetyl-CoA from fat into glucose. But in animals, this mechanism is not possible.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
