Answer:

When pollution occurs on land it travels to the waters which causes the pollutants to enter the water. When pollution enters the water, it damages the algae on the coral. It also lowers water quality, smother the coral reefs, and it speeds the growth of the damaging algae. All these make the coral reefs more susceptible to disease which stops the reefs growth and reproduction.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Radiolabeled carbon atom in CO2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants fix the atmospheric CO2 into glucose. The process includes carbon fixation during which RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the reaction of CO2 and a five-carbon compound called RuBP to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The 3-PGA enters the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle wherein it is reduced into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate make one molecule of glucose.

To test the hypothesis that glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate from photosynthesis is used by plants to synthesize lipids, radiolabeled CO2 must be used. The radiolabeled carbon atom in the CO2 would be fixed in the form of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. If the plant uses glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate as a precursor for lipid synthesis, the synthesized lipid molecules would carry the radiolabeled carbon atom.
