What factors are contributing to the oceans changing ph ?

1 answer:

3 0

Because of human-driven increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there is more CO2 dissolving into the ocean. The ocean's average pH is now around 8.1 , which is basic (or alkaline), but as the ocean continues to absorb more CO2, the pH decreases and the ocean becomes more acidic.

The 14 different species of finches in the galapagos islands originated from a single ancestral species. what is it about these

Daniel [21]

These islands have different ecologies and most are not connected to each other by landmass. Therefore, the organism adapt to each of the different ecologies on their islands. These populations were physically separated due to lack of connection to each other and would not breed randomly. They therefore formed different species by allopatric speciation.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is they show weak positive gram staining reaction.

Explanation:

Mycobacterium phlei is a rod-shaped species of the genus Mycobacterium. They are acid-fast bacteria with mycolic acids rich cell wall due to which gram stain cannot penetrate easily and show light purple color while staining.

When gram staining is performed on the M.phlei , they take light purple color which indicates that it is a gram-positive bacteria and is related to Actinobacteria phylum of the gram-positive bacteria.

Thus, M. phlei is a gram-positive bacteria.
