The molecules that make up food contain energy. How does the human body get energy from the food molecules?

Answer:  A: by breaking ans reforming chemical bonds in the molecules

Explanation: There is energy stored in chemical bonds between food molecules (this is referred to as ATP, or Adenosine TriPhosphate, which is the type of energy your body uses).  When chemical bonds are created, some energy is stored in those bonds (personally, I like to think that it's because the bonds need energy to stay bonded, but there is no science to prove this).  When one of these bonds are broken, the energy that was stored is released, and can then be used by your body.  Your body then uses a different type of energy (called ADP, or Adenosine DiPhosphate) to reform the bonds, which then go on to become waste products.

Answer:

RNA interference

Explanation:

Interference RNA is a mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes, so that small RNA molecules complementary to an mRNA lead to its degradation, thus preventing its translation into proteins.

Gene silencing by interfering RNA is induced by small double stranded RNA molecules of 21 to 27 nucleotides called siRNA. These siRNAs undergo a series of processes in the cell as a result of which their double stranded RNA unfolds in a sense strand and an antisense strand. The antisense strand binds to the mRNA chain specifically for base complementarity, causing the resulting complex to be recognized by cellular and degraded mechanisms. Each siRNA is highly specific for the target nucleotide sequence to which it degrades. This phenomenon of gene interference occurs naturally in the body, being involved in the development and defense against viruses.

Explain how eutrophication can change an aquatic ecosystem into a land ecosystem
Schach [20]
<span>Eutrophication (the overenrichment of aquatic ecosystems with nutrients leading to algal blooms and anoxic events) is a persistent condition of surface waters and a widespread environmental problem. Some lakes have recovered after sources of nutrients were reduced. In others, recycling of phosphorus from sediments enriched by years of high nutrient inputs causes lakes to remain Eutrophic even after external inputs of phosphorus are decreased. Slow flux of phosphorus from Overfertilized soils may be even more important for maintaining eutrophication of lakes in agricultural regions. This type of Eutrophication is not reversible unless there are substantial changes in soil management. Technologies for rapidly reducing phosphorus content of over-enriched soils, or reducing erosion rates, are needed to improve water quality.</span>
