Bioaccumulation is the process by which chemicals are stored in the tissues of living organisms. It is the accumulation of chemicals in the tissue of organisms through any route including, respiration, ingestion or direct contact with contaminated water, sediment and pore water in the sediment. These chemical substances include, pesticides or other chemicals.
Index fossils (also known as guide
fossils, indicator fossils or zone
fossils) are fossils used to define
and identify geologic periods (or
faunal stages).
Answer:
A,C E
Explanation:
The inner membrane of the mitochondria separate the matrix of the mitochondria from the cytosol(inner membrane space.). It is invaginated folded inwards to form the critae. This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for biochemical reaction in the mitochondria.
The invagination gives two compartments the inner mitochondria also creates the outer intermembrane space and the inner matrix
These are the substances that can pass freely the inner membrane of the mitochondria.Pyruvate and H+ can not pass through.Specifically,it is not preamble to H+ because, hydrogen ions are needed to generate the electrochemical gradients needed for the chemical energy for phosphorylation of ADP by P to form ATPs by the enzyme ATPase synthase.If the inner membrane is permeable to H+ the electochemical gradient will not be produced, and therefore ATPs productions stops.
O2 needs to pass through the inner membrane because it it the final electron acceptor. Therefore if not allowed to pass through oxidative phosphorylation and ETC will nor occur.
CO2 must pass through because its accumulation will increase the acidity of the inner mitochondria
They involve changes in energy. Hope this helps.
