Explanation:
Answer:
1. DDT (
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) with molecular formula; C14H9Cl5
2. Lead
Explanation:
1. DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an example of compounds that biomagnifies in the biosphere. DDT is used as pesticides. When DDT is sprayed on plants to kill their pests, part of it is accumulated within the plants.
However, when primary consumers feeds on the affected plants, DDT is passed on to them and then to the secondary consumer in that sequence until it get to the top of the trophic level.
Effects of DDT have been seen in many organisms including birds and humans. The effects seen in humans is quite minimal to that of insects and birds. DDT causes lost of many insects and young birds. In humans, it causes vomiting, seizures etc.
2. Lead: it enters the biosphere by absorption and consumption means. Humans through the use of lead paint, smoking of cigarettes, use of cosmetics and combustion of coal accumulates lead in their bodies. Lead can't be synthesize by human, therefore it accumulates and biomagnify within their systems.
The effects of lead in human include; vomiting, stroke and abdominal pains. In tough scenario, it causes immune system deterioration and cardiovascular diseases.
The continental plate is thicker and less dense while the oceanic plate is thinner and more dense.
Answer:
Option D, at the branch tips
Explanation:
Phylogeny tree is just like a family tree in which the roots of the tree that are its base represents the ancestral lineage. While moving towards the branches , the time is considered to be moving forwards as the organism which lie at the tip of the branches are the ones which have evolved from the ancestral lineage lying at the base. Thus, the branches at the end of a tree are the ones which have the most recently evolved organism.
Thus, option D is correct
Answer:It is known as a concentration gradient which in diffusion will always flow from ares of high concentration to areas of low concentrations
So i believe the answer to this is A.
