Explanation:

Its stomach was filled eith 30 plastic bags, and many smaller pieces of plastic. ... The whale was emaciated, and scientists believe that the plastic had gathered in such an amount in its stomach that it had created a plug, stopping the digestive process.

The cause of death appears to be starvation, though that's under investigation. Many of the stranded whales in 2019 have been malnourished, said David Weller, a research wildlife biologist with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.

Answer:

It's because whales do not naturally chew and swallow they suck in their food.

Explanation:

so basically they swallow plastic and other man-made projects that might contain algae.

Based on the graph above, how well will the enzyme perform as a catalyst when placed in a pH 7 solution, such as water?
mrs_skeptik [129]
The correct answer is "<span>It will perform less than optimally unless the pH was increased."

This is because the curve on the graph shows pH versus reaction rate. If we follow the x-axis (the bottom one) to a pH of 7, it is at an extremely low reaction rate compared to other points of the graph. If we continue along, we see that the reaction rate increases as the pH increases. Therefore, the enzyme will perform less than optimally unless the pH is increased.

Hope this helps, and hope I'm the brainiest! :)</span>

Explain how the melting of the sea ice may affect<br><br> people living on the coast of Florida.
Levart [38]

Since 2000, melting ice from the continent totaled enough to raise sea levels globally by about four tenths of an inch, according to the report which relied on the work of 90 scientists.  With what’s already baked into the atmosphere, faster melting land ice will likely add between 7.5 and 9.8 inches to earlier U.N. estimates by 2100, the report said.  And because of its position downstream, in an area of “preferential excitement,” South Florida could experience rise at the high end as water sloshes around the planet, Kirtman said.  “Think of it as pushing down the ocean [in Greenland]. The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said.  In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.

6. What are proglottids? What is the scolex?
Nataliya [291]

Explanation:

Proglottids are segments in cestodes that contain bot the male and female reproductive organs. These segments go ahead to make eggs and then dettach form the worm. They are excreted and become agents of infection on the next hoist. Proglittids formed near the neck of the worm are immature while those at the tail end are literally bags of mature eggs.

The scolex is the head of the worm that is attached to the host. It is also the part that ‘sucks’ nutrients from the host. It has hooks that it uses to anchor itself in the host. In some species, rather than hooks, there are suction-cups that use suction for anchorage.

What are 10 thing that classify as a Secondary succession?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The renewal of a forest after a fire: The fire itself destroys a majority of different types of trees and plant life. Because seeds and roots and other plant and tree parts remain in and on the soil, gradually the plants and trees begin to grow again and eventually returns to the state of the original ecosystem.

The renewal of a crop after harvesting: Without new seeds being planted, the crop can regenerate the following year due to the plants and seeds that remained after harvesting.

A forest renews after logging: Lots of trees were chopped down by loggers to create building materials. Over time, trees grow in and the area returns to its previous state.

A volcanic eruption: In an area where a volcano erupts, lava may cause some damage to the plant and tree life. Over a span of years, however, if there was land that had been affected by the eruption but not necessarily covered in new volcanic rock, the seeds and plant parts and roots in the soil could renew.

On the island of Lawahii, several centuries ago, a fire erupted that caused the destruction of all plants and vegetation. Many years later, the plants and vegetation had grown back in, as the nutrients, seeds and soil remained.

Renewal after disease: A plant population can be very negatively affected by a variety of infectious plant diseases. If the entire population dies, but the soil and roots remain, it is possible for secondary succession to occur and for the population of those plants to to return.

A flood can ruin farmlands. However, because the soil remains after the waters recede, over the course of many years a natural secondary succession can occur and the vegetation that had previously grown there can grow again.

Plants can be very susceptible to attack from pests, particularly if there is an overpopulation of those pests. When this occurs, the plant population in one area can be completely destroyed. However, when the pest overpopulation is resolved, the plants are able to live again and thrive in the soil in which they previously had lived.

Potato scab is a tuber disease that grows on potatoes. If this disease affects a large amount of potatoes, the potatoes may not grow or may be harvested and thrown away. Over time, once the disease has been eradicated, healthy potatoes can grow again.

And also human activities can harm the environment and cause secondary secession.

because it’s true. source: https://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-secondary-succession.html
