The correct answer is the option (d) the increase of carbon dioxide.

The increase of carbon dioxide in the earth's early atmospheric conditions made the aquatic dwelling organisms to adapt into terrestrial dwellers. Volcanic eruptions released a few gases, of which, carbon dioxide was abundantly released. It is a vital requirement for all living organisms. The first terrestrial plants appeared which used the carbon dioxide for the synthesis of food by the process of photosynthesis. Thus, this continuous availability of carbon dioxide helped the land dwelling plants to evolve. This increased the oxygen content in the atmosphere which made the animals to evade the terrestrial habitat.

The build up of ozone was not an earth's early atmospheric condition and the stromatolites were the sedmientary rock layers of water bodies like oceans. The formation of rust on the earth's crust did not help the land dwelling animals to evolve.

Thus, the increase in the carbon dioxide helped the land dwelling oragnisms to evolve.

Indicate whether each of the following occurs in the ER (E), Cytoplasm (C), Golgi apparatus (G), lysosome (L) or mitochondria (M
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

EELG

(1) Addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a protein occurs in the Lumen of the Endopslamic Reticulum

(2) Synthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

(3) Degradation of misfolded ER protein ossurs in the Lysosome

(4) O-linked glycosylation occurs in the Golgiapparatus

Explanation:

1. The covalent attachment of a carbohydrate to a macromolecule such as proteins or lipids is known as glycosylation.

N-linked glycosylation is a very common form of glycosylation and it occurs in eukaryotes in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a proteinmos an example of N-linked glycosylation.

2. Phosphatidylcholine is synthesized through the CDP-choline pathway which occurs at the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum. Choline entering the cell is immediately phosphorylated by choline kinase, converting choline to phosphocholine.

Phosphocholine is then converted to CDP-choline by the second enzyme in the pathway, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT).

The phosphocholine moiety is then added to diacylglycerol in a reaction catalyzed by CDP-choline:1,2-diacylgylcerol cholinephosphotransferase to complete the synthesis of phosphocholine.

3. Lysosomes are the cell organelles which are responsible for the breakdown of proteins as well as other components of the cell. Misfolded proteins are identified and transported to lysosomes through chaperone-mediated autophagy, macroautophagy and endocytosis, where they are then degraded.

4. O-linked glycosylation is a form of glycosylation that occurs in eukaryotes in the Golgi apparatus.

how does tourism and over hunting affect the populations of the Australian Freshwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Johnstoni) ???
DerKrebs [107]
Tourism can affect the swamp water, if traveled on a boat, with all the oil and stuff that is needed to get the boat running, and over hunting, can slowly kill all the crocodiles that live there affecting the crocodile population! <span />
