benefit. The region has recently experienced a decrease in the number of plant species available for medical research. Which of the
following changes has most likely caused this change in biodiversity?
OA.
a prolonged period of increased rainfall
ОВ.
the introduction of an invasive predator species
OC.

your a sped   no one cares

i got something better   a catchphrase here it is

ahem  

ahem

what the squwock

explanation:

i think that d. wind is the answer.   i missed the question when i answered a. currents.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
