Describe how pollution can cause acid rain, and how acid rain affects the ecosystems of surrounding areas?

Biology

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago

Pollution specifically air pollution can cause acid. Gases such as sulphur (IV) oxide and Nitrogen (IV) oxide when they are released into the atmosphere and comes into contact with precipitation, that is rain water causes acid rain. Sulphurous acid and Nitric acid is formed thus the rain falls in acidic form.

Acid rain when it falls on the leaves of the flora (plants) causes removal of the green colouring matter (chlorophyll) thus making plants to be deficient of food. Food in plants is made my the process of photosynthesis, removal of chlorophyll in plants kills them due to lack of food.

Also when acid rain finds it's way into the water bodies through surface runoff, aquatic animals such as fishes die due to lack of favourable environment and oxygen deficiency in water. Acidity in the soil also kills important decomposers therefore soil aeration is altered.

el electrophoresis is normally set up with the negative electrode at the top of the gel and the positive electrode at the bottom
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The DNA will still move towards the positive electrode

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique which is used by the molecular biologist to separate the fragments of DNA. In the procedure, a DNA sample of a particular concentration of DNA sample composed of a particular length of DNA is loaded into the samples.

The gel is usually set up with the positive electrode at the bottom and negative at the top which by mistake when placed at the bottom and positive at the top.

The DNA will still move from the DNA wells towards the positive side as the DNA moves in the gel as the DNA posses negative charge due to phosphate groups they have and therefore move towards the positive electrode (opposite charge always).

Thus, the DNA will still move towards the positive electrode is correct.

Alona [7]

Enzymes within the Golgi enclose them in a new vesicle that buds from the surface of the Golgi apparatus and moderate the proteins apparatus. The vesicles migrate to the membrane and release their protein to the outside of the cell.  Lysosomes digest and recycle the waste materials for reuse by the cell.  The Golgi apparatus is often seen as the packaging and distribution center of the cell.Vesicles transport the proteins from the ribosomes to the Golgi apparatus, a.k.a Golgi complex, where they are packaged into new vesicles.
