Answer:
(3) could be mistaken for food by some species, working their way up the food chain
Explanation:
Microbeads, such as other microplastics, can affect wildlife in many ways, but mostly by
- Ingestion
- Introduction and transference in the trophic web
- Interaction with other contaminants
- Microinvertebrates, bacteria, and viruses colonize these microplastics and can be transported long distances.
Organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, fishes, birds, turtles, among many others, might confuse these elements with food and eat them. Microbeads might float or accumulate in sediments and be ingested by different benthonic species. The ingestion of microbeads by inferior links in the trophic web means a direct entrance in the trophic web where many superior links are affected too while feeding with already contaminated prey.
The ingestion of microbeads can cause a significant impact on the growth, development, and reproduction of freshwater and seawater species.
Microbeads, like other microplastics, characterize for their durability in time and resistance, which means that the ones that are already in the oceans and rivers will last there for centuries.
Because all living things are made of carbon in one way or another and we use nitrogen and water naturally.
As pollution and runoff get dumped into the ocean the acid levels go up causing acidification to happen. This harms animals, and us.
Explanation:
Distance = 826m
time = 70second
velocity = distance/ time
v = 826/70
v = 11.8m/sec
Climate change. no one really knows yes people say this and that but we go off of what they say.
