Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.
Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid. Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.

Trypsinogen is split by the enzyme enterokinase to form an activated molecule of the protease trypsin. Which of the following would confirm that the activation of trypsin is an example of how a positive feedback mechanism can amplify a biological process?
A. The activated trypsin enzyme can use enterokinase as a substrate
B. The trypsin produced by the reaction is capable of splitting and activating additional trypsinogen molecules
C. If levels of trypsin were to get too high, the trypsin molecules would inhibit the enzyme enterokinase
D. Each mRNA molecule that codes for trypsinogen can be translated repeatedly to form many peptide molecules
<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
Trypsinogen molecules are first split into the active enzyme Trypsin by enterokinase. Then the Trypsin being a protease itself, works on Trypsinogens and converts them to Trypsin. Thus this is a positive feedback.
Option B
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Trypsinogen is a proenzyme which is secreted by pancreas into the duodenum. Enterokinase is a intestinal enzyme that is secreted from the small intestinal glands. Enterokinase works on the Trypsinogens to convert them into trypsin by splitting a peptide chain from the proenzyme. This trypsin then digests a variety of proteins and peptides from diet.
Trypsin is a protease and the proenzyme Trypsinogen is a protein. So trypsin works on the secreted trypsinogens too and amplify the production of trypsin from the trypsinogens to enhance the digestion process. Thus, a positive feedback chain is seen here.
<span>If Armand
has been in several fierce battles during the war, and suddenly awakens on the
morning of a planned invasion with complete blindness for which the doctors
find no medical cause. The doctors would suspect that Armand has a CONVERSION
DISORDER. More so, that he has an unconcerned disposition towards the sudden
blindness.</span>
Answer:
The power is too centralized within a small group and gives them too much power. Leading to tyranny.
Explanation:
In an oligarchy, the power is divided between a small group of higher-ups and it can easily transform into a tyranny when one person becomes too influential.
