Answer:

Carbon pollution is changing the ocean's chemistry, slowing its ability to uptake CO2, making it more acidic, and harming shellfish and other marine life we depend on. The ocean has absorbed about 29 percent of global CO2 emissions since the end of the preindustrial era.Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming.

Answer:B convulsions due to constant muscle stimulation

Explanation:

this is due to Hyperpolarization at the axonal cell membrane from continuous influx of sodium ions .

Normally acetylcholine is an exictatory neurotranmitter, if an inhibitor is applied to block effects of acetylcholinesterase; the action potential will continue to generate , leading to continuous excitation, ( rapid contraction of muscles from increasing action potential, leading to convulsion.

So far nothing to stop the excitatory neurotransmitter. (acetylcholine stimulation at the receptors of neuromuscular junction of post synaptic neuron.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. co-evolution

Explanation:

When two or more species evolution is influenced by each other and are interdependent than this type of evolution is known as co-evolution. There are several examples of co-evolution like predator-prey co-evolution, flowering plants and pollinators evolution, etc.

The predator-prey evolution is famous in which there is selective pressure on prey to evolve to avoid getting hunted and the same pressure is on predator to evolve with prey so that they can get their food and survive. Therefore the correct answer is co-evolution.
