Purpose
In this assignment, you will use, evaluate, and improve a simulation to highlight human impact on coral
reef ecosystems. Then you will propose and evaluate real-world solutions to reduce the negative effects
of human activity on this ecosystem and its biodiversity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A coral reef is an environment in which various abiotic (water, sunlight, temperature, salt, waves, and so on) and biotic (aquatic plants, shrimps, fish, corals, and so on) factors combine to maintain the system's homeostasis. A simulation model is a descriptive model that makes future inferences about one system using existing data (or process). A computer-based experiment in which each part of the device contributes to the measurement of the impacts induced by the interaction of unknown inputs is also known as a simulation model. It is possible to determine how changes in water temperature influence the relationship between various types of trophic levels in the coral reef environment, which may be expressed by aquatic plants and fish species, by using a simulation model.

Corals, algae, and fish in coral reefs have a lower survival rate as the pH of the ocean water drops. In acidic ocean water, coral reefs struggle to survive. This is due to the coral's calcium carbonate shell's inability to withstand an acidic environment. Snails, clams, algae, fish, and other animals have calcium carbonate in their skeletons. The death of these animals is caused by increased acidity. As a result, the lower the pH of ocean water, the higher its acidity, and therefore the lower the chance of corals, algae, and fish surviving in the coral reef.

The amount of calcium carbonate in coral reef water is affected by a lower pH value (more acidic). Since coral skeletons are made of calcium carbonate, this has an effect on them. It may be a major issue (since coral reefs are a source of food and tourism), since it would be more difficult for them to calcify or even dissolve. As a result, if 'ocean acidification' occurs as a result of carbon dioxide absorption from the atmosphere, reduced pH may reduce coral reef biodiversity.

The simulation's pH is too low to allow coral reefs to develop. The ocean is affected, and these coral reefs are important for the diversity of marine life because they have a lot of nutrients, which is ideal for small organisms to live in. As a result, if there is a lot of acid in the water, these coral reefs will dissolve and vanish.

I'd raise the ocean's temperature and lower the pH percentage so that users can see how human activity affects the ocean. Human activity causes contamination of the air, which causes CO2, which causes more of the CO2 to be consumed by the seas, raising acidity, which contributes to an increase in temperature and the dissolution of coral reefs.

Add mutations, edit genes, pick factors such as wolves, food, climate (arctic or dessert), and monitor population or pedigree chart were some of the variables I had control over in the simulation.

The impact on the pH of Earth’s oceans can be reduced by lowering the carbon dioxide in the air, and reducing the plastics that goes into the oceans.

Government-approved projects will be needed to temporarily limit fishing in the region. There will be a dead end in seafood resources from the river as a result of the consequences.

Part C Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are 1.2.luciferin+O2ATP⇌⇌oxyluciferin+lightAMP+PPiΔG∘=−31.6 kJ/mol If the overall ΔG∘ of the coupled reaction is -4.80 kJ/mol , what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reaction at 6 ∘C ?

Answers

Answer:

K = 9.620 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

From the given information:

Temperature T= 6° C

= (273 + 6)K

= 279 K

The correct and well presentation of the reactions are:

1. [tex]Luciferin + O_2[/tex]     ⇆     oxyluciferin + light   ΔG₁°

2. ATP                     ⇄   AMP + PP[tex]_i[/tex]                  ΔG₂°  = -31.6 kJ/mol

The overall  ΔG° = -4.80 kJ/mol

Let's first determine the ΔG₁° for the equation (1)

ΔG° = ΔG₁° + ΔG₂°

- ΔG₁° = - ΔG° + ΔG₂°

ΔG₁° = ΔG° - ΔG₂°

ΔG₁° = ( -4.80 - (-31.6) ) kJ/mol

ΔG₁° = 26.8 kJ/mol

Using the formula:

ΔG° = -RTIn K

[tex]In \ K =\dfrac{-\Delta G^0}{RT} \\ \\ log \ K = -\dfrac{\Delta G^0}{2.303RT}[/tex]

[tex]log \ K = -\dfrac{\Delta G_1^0}{2.303RT} \\ \\ log \ K = -\dfrac{26.8 \times 10^3 \ J/mol}{2.303\times 8.314 \ J/mol/K \times 279 \ K} \\ \\ log \ K =- 5.017[/tex]

K = antilog (-5.017)

K = 9.620 × 10⁻⁶

What are Adaptation?

The process by which organisms adapt to their environment in order to increase their chances of surviving in that environment is known as evolutionary adaptation, or simply adaptation.

The biological process through which organisms adapt to brand-new surroundings or alterations in their current environments is known as adaptation.

Wallace and Darwin both went beyond basic adaptation when formulating the notion of evolution by natural selection by describing how organisms adapt and evolve.

Therefore, Animals are less likely to eat the plant and It tastes bad so they wont want to eat it again.

______ can amplify the effects of temperature by increasing the rate of heat loss by convection.

Answers

Answer:

wind

Explanation:

As the air heats up and becomes less dense, it rises higher into the atmosphere, thereby cooler air takes its place and produces wind (moving air is wind). This wind can produce a positive feedback loop that increases the transfer of heat by both evaporation (i.e., by losing heat through the conversion of water to vapor) and convection (i.e.,  through the movement of air). In consequence, wind created by temperature fluctuation can amplify the effects of temperature. In organisms, winds can also contribute to water loss by increasing the evaporation/transpiration rate.

Answer:

air density is lower, so there is less heat transfer

Explanation:

Radiation is absorbed by the ground of Earth and this heats the surroundings along with tropospheric air through conduction and convection process. ... Thus, we can conclude that temperature decrease with higher altitude as air density is lower, so there is less heat transfer.

Answers

Answer: The term that best describes this organism is that it's a UNICELLULAR PROTISTA.

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms are that are made up of just one cell. They are also called single- celled organisms. Examples of unicellular organisms include: Amoeba, chlamydomonas and paramecium.

The paramecium is a protist which is SINGLE-CELLED and is made up of eucaryotic cells in which the cell structure is complex with a well-defined NUCLEUS.

The structure of this organism helps it to survive in its environment. It has cilia that helps it move food into its gullet.

The food vacuole circulate along a definite path in the cytoplasm. The anterior and posterior contractile vacuole, with radiating channels draining into them, helps to get rid of excess water from the body.
