Lumps of iron and manganese ore called can be harvested from the seafloor near underwater volcanoes.

Poly-metallic nodules

Explanation: Poly-metallic nodules are generally considered to the manganese nodules, formed due to the accumulation of rocks and mineral aggregates at the seafloor, adjacent to the underwater volcanoes.

This nodules appears in concentric layers, i.e these are the layers of manganese hydroxide and iron hydroxide. They are commonly found at the sea floor and have economical importance.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.

i believe it's c. the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.

since eventually smaller beaks would have to find another source of food or even eventually just die out from the lack of food.
