Answer:
The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).
Explanation:
Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.
On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:
- <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
- <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>
The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.

The pKa represents the pH of the medium at which the zwitterionic amino acid assumes most stable ionic form due to structural stabilization. As the pKa is dependent upon the environmental factors of the solution around the amino acids, a change in their structure and localization can cause change in the pKa of the protein. Thus, the answers can be found as below:
Part A: Decrease (As the lysine is basic in nature, it will tend to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and weak interactions between the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bonds in the viscinity, thus lowering the pH and hence pKa of the protein)
Part B: Increase (As the carboxyl group is acidic in nature, removal of it will tend to increase the pKa since the basic amino acids will tend to accumulate more negative charge in their viscinity)
Part C: Increase (As glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, its shift from outside to a non-polar site will prevents its ionization and hence the pKa will tend to shift from slightly acidic to slightly basic, hence increase)
Answer:
b. specialized for absorbing shorter wavelengths of light that penetrate deeper into the water for photosynthesis.
Explanation:
There are two lights which are responsible for the photosynthesis in plants and algae i. e. red and blue light. These two lights are absorbed by the plants and algae in the process of photosynthesis while most of the light colors are reflected. In water red light remains in low depth while blue light penetrate deep into the water due to its shorter wavelength. So that's why red algae can grow due to the presence of blue light and photosynthesis occurs.
