Answer:

B) habitat change

Explanation:

Habitat destruction (along with hunting and fishing) stands out among the factors that trigger biodiversity depletion. Usually this process occurs as a result of urbanization and deforestation to increase agricultural areas and development of major works. In addition, this destruction is also caused by global warming.

As their habitat is destroyed, many species are often forced to migrate to other areas, facing dangers and uncertainty of survival. Those species that are unable to find another place to settle, such as plants, have their population reduced or even often extinct.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:  D.  Boats, Because, your not able to smell the carbon monoxide on boats, you can't smell it on planes, and you CAN smell it on trains so that rules 'C.' out.  Your able to smell it on land vehicles, don't believe me? Stick your nose in the back of a car that's running.  Your able to smell it in factories, because in China, individuals have to wear gas masks to go outside or walk to work.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mitochondria

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells obtain CHEMICAL ENERGY (in form of ATP) by the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.

Ribosomes are small organelles found in all cells; involved in the production of PROTEINS by translating messenger RNA.

A mitochondria is a spherical or ovoid organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, contains genetic material separate from that of the host; it is responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy in the form of ATP.

From the definitions provided, you can understand that the enzyme will be transported to the mitochondria of cells like muscles and liver etc, where cellular respiration occur.
