The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) stipulates that seabed area, which is not within the landmark of any particular country should be regarded as a common natural heritage. Consequently, any mineral found in such an area can be used by anyone. 

However, because of the abundant presence of sea area, and the way national boundaries often conflict, coupled with the problem of illegal mining practices, such laws are difficult to enforce, and so these regulations are not standardized yet.

Some possible impacts of ilegal seabed mining are:
1. Destabilisation of oceanic systems.
2. It constitutes danger to the organisms living in the hydrothermal vents.

Look at the data related to honey bee population losses between 2006 and 2013 (Figure 1). Expand on the data. How would you revi
olga_2 [115]

In order to improve the graph and make it more detailed in order to get a better perception why the honey bee populations are decreasing, there's few things that can be added.

- Number of bee keepers over the period

The number of the honey bee colonies is directly connected as to how many bee keepers there are. If there's a trend of a decline in the bee keepers, than there will be a trend in the decline of the honey bees.

- Area of trees suitable for the honey bees

The trees are crucial for the honey bees to be able to produce honey, thus it is very important that they have a certain area of trees on which they can feed upon. If there's a decline in the number of trees for the bees, than the bees will be dying from starvation.

- Pollution

The honey bees are animals that are very sensitive to changes in the environment, especially when it comes to pollution. If the levels of pollution are increasing in areas where there's honey bees, it will certainly affect their numbers in a negative manner.

If one million kilocalories of energy are stored in producers in an ecosystem, how many kilocalories can be transferred to terti
Mashcka [7]
The answer is 1000 kilocarolies.  It is important to keep in mind that Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next but a lot of it is lost along the way. Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next. However, only about 10% of the total energy stored in organisms at one trophic level is actually transferred to organisms at the next trophic level. Therefore; if the producers have 1 million kilocarolies, then  the energy transferred to the primary consumer will be 100,000 kilocalories (10% of a million), and the energy transferred to the secondary consumer will be 10,000 kilocalories (10% of 100,000) and the energy to the tertiary consumer will be 1000 kilocarolies (10% of 10,000).

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

p53 gene is an important gene that regulates the proper functioning of the cell. This gene plays an important role in the cell cycle progression and acts as genome guardian.

Any mutation in p53 leads to the formation of the different types of cancer cells. The p53 gene is activated by teh phosphorylation at the particular sites.  High levels of phosphorylated p53 in the cell indicates that the cells DNA is highly damaged and mutated.
