Answer:
This is the process where certain things like pesticides work their way into water bodies and then move to the food chain to greater concentrations as they are incorporated into meals of aquatic organisms e.g. zooplankton. An example is: small fish that eats plankton that has been tainted with mercury.

Answer:
d. to protect the end of a DNA molecule
Explanation:
Telomeres are like the protective shields of our cells' DNA.
Its name, of Greek origin, literally means "final part", and the telomeres are that: the ends of the chromosomes, something similar to the plastic tips of the shoelaces.
But they are very repetitive and non-coding parts of DNA: their main function is to protect the genetic material that carries the rest of the chromosome.
As our cells divide to multiply and to regenerate the tissues and organs of our body the telomere length is reduced, and so over time they become shorter.
When the telomeres finally remain so small that they can no longer protect the DNA, the cells stop reproducing: they reach a state of old age or old age.
Therefore, telomere length is considered a key "biomarker of aging" at the molecular level, although it is not the only one, and in recent years it has attracted the attention of numerous investigations.
Answer:
Notice that at each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The total energy passed from one level to the next is only about one-tenth of the energy received from the previous organism.
Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. A food chain can usually sustain no more than six energy transfers before all the energy is used up.
Answer:
In prokaryotes
Explanation:
The process of photosynthesis probably originated in prokaryotic organisms.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby organisms manufacture their own food in the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.
- The process is an advancement in the history of evolution of plant species on earth.
- It also furnished a new way of life for other organisms.
- It is widely suggested that some prokaryotes infolded their plasma membrane and it serves as modern day version of chloroplasts.
