Why are plastics hazardous to wildlife?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: In marine environment, many animals confuse the plastic littering the oceans for food including sea turtles. Once in these animal bodies the plastic accumulates, and the chemicals can cause excess estrogen to be produced, which has led to discoveries of male fish with female sex organs. For sea turtles, the plastic blocks their digestive tract and the food that is trapped releases gases that render them buoyant, and unable to dive for food. The turtle was slowly starving because a single use plastic bag, which she had eaten, was blocking her digestive tract.

The plastic contains destructible and harmful agents that is not good for human and animals health.

If an enzyme is absent during polypeptide production, what can occur? a mutation polymerization replication gene flow

Answers

The correct answer is mutation.

Any slight change in protein synthesis leads to the process of mutation. The polypeptide production here refers to the phenomenon of protein synthesis.

If an enzyme is absent during this process it lead to production of faulty protein or some other protein but exactly the same protein is not formed which could have formed when the enzyme would have been present.

This leads to mutation.

Which structure branches further into alveoli?a. nasal cavity
b. epiglottis
c. bronchiole
d. laryngopharynx

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "bronchiole".

Explanation:

The passage of airway within the lungs is known as bronchus. However, air exchange does not happen in the bronchus, it happens in small air sacs named alveoli. The smaller versions of the bronchus are known as the bronchiole, which branches further until it becomes the alveoli, the structure at which air exchange takes place.

c. Bronchiole

They will branch all the way to terminal bronchiole before they go into alveoli
