How increased levels of CO2 in our oceans

1 answer:

7 0

The problem is that a vast number of marine organisms build their skeletons and shells from calcium carbonate. But calcium carbonate dissolves in acidic solutions! Many researchers have shown that when these organisms are exposed to high levels of CO2, they cannot build their shells/skeletons properly.

Hope this helps, hun ☺️

Wetlands are important ecosystems for many reasons. Select all that apply.

vazorg [7]

A, B, & D.

Wetlands DO NOT increase the rate of extinction of mammals by creating a loss of habitat. Wetlands rather form a habitat for many organisms creating a rich microcosm of an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Wetlands are land areas that are seasonally or permanently submerged in water. They include marshlands, estuaries, deltas, swamps, floodplains, and etcetera. The plants within wetlands, such as mangrove slow down water runoff hence allowing settling down of, sediments and pollutants hence ‘cleaning’ the water.

Due to this fact that wetlands slow water movement, these ecosystems are significant in reducing flooding by ‘storing’ flood water and releasing it slowly hence acting like flood controls.

Peripheral resistance depends on all of the following factors except __________.

pantera1 [17]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

blood vessel length

blood viscosity

blood vessel diameter

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Answer:

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Explanation:

Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.
