Global warming occurs because of increased greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid when dissolved in water. The increase of carbonic acid in the ocean waters prevents sea creatures from making bones and shells. Based on the information above which of the following statements best explains what would occur. A. Sea coral would make immediate adaptations through genetic mutations to adjust to the changes in the environment.

B. The ocean water would change its current so that the acidic water is relocated to another area and allow sea coral to survive.

C. The ocean water would change its composition to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide contained and allow sea coral to survive.

D. Sea coral would become extinct because of its inability to make adaptations fast enough to adjust to the changes in the environment

Because of its structure the cell membrane is known as a phospholipid ? a.bilayer b.molecule c.fluid d.barrier

Microorganisms are involved in each of the following processes excepta. smog production.b. food production.c. infection.d. o2 production.e. decomposition of organic material.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e.g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
