Answer:

d.) They can be concentrated in an organism's fatty tissue.

Explanation:

Other reasons:

They have a carbon-based molecular structure, containing highly reactive chlorine

Most are manufactured by humans

They are persistent in environment, they do not easily break it down

Polluting and toxic

They occur in forms that allow them to be transported by wind, water, and sediments for long distances.

d. They can be concentrated in an organism’s fat tissues.

This is referred to as biomagnification -- the POPs become more concentrated as they move from one animal to another. This is a main concern because even trace amounts, in animals at the bottom of the food chain, can cause toxicity to animals at the top of the food chain.

Which three statements correctly describe the endoplasmic reticulum?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

I have searched everywhere, but I have not found the proposals of the question, but I will explain to you what is the endoplasmic reticulum so that you can answer it.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle located in the cytoplasm.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane tubules (often interconnected) scattered throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Its membrane, which alone represents more than half of the cellular membrane system, is in contact with the nuclear envelope.

The endoplasmic reticulum can be:

Granular (or rough) (RER) that is to say associated with ribosomes.

Smooth (SER).

The granular endoplasmic reticulum is the place of synthesis (in the associated ribosomes) of the proteins secreted outside the cell and of the proteins and lipids constituting the membranes of the cellular organelles. Golgi, lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, vesicles ...). It participates in the correct folding of the proteins that have just been synthesized.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum participates in cellular metabolism, synthesizing lipids and storing calcium.
