(PLS HELP DUE IN 5 MINS!) The pteropoda, or “sea butterfly”, is a tiny sea creature about the size of a small pea. Pteropoda are

eaten by organisms ranging in size from tiny krill to whales. They are a major food source for the North Pacific juvenile. Their shells are made up of calcium carbonate. The photo provided is the shell of a pteropoda. The shell can dissolve within a 45 day period. What can one infer about what is causing the shell of the pteropoda to disappear while in a marine environment?
a) Carbon monoxide (CO) is being released by natural systems. Oceans are absorbing this excess of CO and the pH within the oceans is increasing.

b) Methane (CH4 is being released too quickly from burning of fossil fuels. Oceans are lowering their pH and ocean acidification occurs.

c) Natural sources are releasing an excess of CO2 to the oceans. The marine photosynthetic organisms are emitting too much oxygen. This is return is causing ocean acidification.

d) The excess of CO2 emitted from anthropogenic sources is being absorbed by the oceans from the atmosphere. This results in more hydrogen ions in the ocean, which increases acidification.

Complete the sentence: During periods of weight loss, the ________ of fat cells dwindles, but not their __________. Group of ans
cricket20 [7]

As their contents are used for energy during weight loss, fat cells get smaller in size, but their overall number doesn't change.

<h3>Where Does Fat Go When Weight Is Lost?</h3>
  • Fats are liberated from fat cells and transferred to the mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles in your body's cells, by sustaining a steady calorie deficit. Here, a number of procedures break down the fat to create energy.
  • These same cells may become smaller when you lose fat, yet they continue to exist in roughly the same numbers. Therefore, fewer fat cells, not more, are the main cause of changes in body form.
  • Also implied by this is that even when you lose weight, fat cells are still present and can readily regain their original size if efforts are not made to keep the weight off.
