Answer:

As many as 30 thousand fur seals become entangled in lost or discarded fishing nets or cargo straps each year.

Explanation:

Human activities cause many damages to marine mammals in general. One of these activities is fishery. The nests are intercepting the migratory routes of animals or are floating free in the sea after being discarded. They are extremely strong, so whenever animals get stuck on them, they might carry them for months or years, affecting their diving, foraging, feeding, and reproductive behavior. These nets might hurt the animals´ skin, producing a wound that will probably get infected.

A few years ago, at least 50,000 northern fur seals died per year after getting stuck in fishing nets. The populations of these animals decreased sharply, affecting their reproductive and growth rates. In the present, due to the decrease in their population size, the number of dead animals is around 30,000 per year. This reduction in death is only because there are much fewer animals every year.

With ideal environmental factors, the reproduction rate of bacteria is...
Artist 52 [7]

With ideal environmental factors, bacteria are able to reproduce at a very rapid pace.

<h3>Bacterial reproduction</h3>

Bacteria reproduce mainly by a single cell dividing into two, given the right condition. In order words, they reproduced by binary fission.

When environmental conditions are optimum, a typical bacterial cell can divide every 4 to 20 minutes depending on the species.

The time can become longer with sub-optimal environmental conditions.

C. Fermentation. Explanation: If oxygen is present, then glucose can be broken all the way down into carbon dioxide and water. This process is called aerobic respiration because it requires air (oxygen). In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called anaerobic fermentation. or simply fermentation.

Why is Earth's climate changing?​
Pavel [41]
The earth’s climate is changing because of human impact. For example, because of our extensive use of cars and fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere. When that happens, it creates a “blanket” trapping in heat and that makes the temperature rises.
