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.

Which of the following is a major cause of the size limits for certain types of cells?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

D. the need for a surface area of sufficient area to allow the cell's function

Explanation:

Many cellular functions such as the exchange of substances and respiratory gases, absorption of nutrients, cell-cell communication, etc. require the cells to have a sufficient surface area. A small cell has a larger surface area to volume ratio and therefore, maintains a higher rate of exchange of substances. As the cell increases in size, the surface area grows less than its volume. Therefore, the surface area required to perform the cellular functions puts an upper limit on the cell size.

Cells maintain the required surface area by dividing and/or by developing folding or projections on the surface. For instance, the cells in the wall of the small intestine require to maintain a higher surface area for nutrient absorption. Therefore, the cells of the wall of the small intestine develop microvilli to have a larger surface area which in turn supports a relatively higher rate of absorption.
