Answer:

a. abandoned tires

Explanation:

A health risk is the property that has an activity, service or substance, to produce harmful or harmful effects on human health. There are many health risks on the border between the United States and Mexico, however, abandoned tires are not an example of health risk.

Abandoned tires do not cause any harm to humans, but they degrade the environment because they take many years to decompose.

Answer:

a. abandoned tires

Explanation:

There are numerous transboundary health hazards along the border of the USA and Mexico. Some of them can very dangerous. The raw sewage for example is a source of lot diseases, and since the area is very hot and the bacteria and viruses can spread around easily, it can be devastating. The same goes for the animal carcasses and the hazardous waste, as both of those are able to spread around deadly diseases, or chemicals that can be fatal. The abandoned tires though do not represent any danger to the humans. They are a waste, and they are polluting the environment, so their place is definitely not supposed to be there, but at least they do not cause any harm of the health.

Which of the following statements concerning metagenomic sequencing is incorrect
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A) Software aligns sequences and assemble large portions of genome.

B) The samples are subject to polymerase chain reaction for amplification.

C) The sequences of the amplified fragments are determined by next-generation methods.

D) Proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added

The correct answer is option D) Proteins are extracted from an environment, fragmented, and adaptors are added.

Metagenomic sequencing refers to the amplification and determination of all nucleotide sequences in a sample, which might contain multiple microorganisms and viruses in order to understand the presence and proportions of microbiota. Metagenomic sequencing involves the use of next-generation methods, to amplify and characterize all the nucleotides sequences. It is false to affirm that the proteins are extracted directly from the environment in this technique, since metagenomic sequencing is focused on the nucleotide sequences.

Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver and can cause liver disease. Liver disease has been linked to a reduction in album
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a) Ribosomes

b) Please find the justification for the answer in (a) below.

Explanation:

According to this question, Hepatitis C is a virus that causes liver disease by attacking the liver. However, a REDUCTION IN ALBUMIN, which is a protein that regulates oncotic pressure of blood in humans- a process necessary for the regulation of fluids in vessels of the body and tissue repair, has been found to have to do with liver disease.

Since ALBUMIN is a protein produced by the liver, which when diseased causes a reduction to the blood-albumin level, the organelle in liver cells that is most likely being affected by hepatitis C is the RIBOSOME. This is because the RIBOSOME is the organelle/site for PROTEIN SYNTHESIS in any cell. Hence, the ribosome organelle of the liver cells are responsible for synthesis of Albumin protein.

Hence, a diseased liver due to attack by Hepatitis C virus means an attack on the RIBOSOMES of the liver cells producing the protein.

.The pollen-producing structures of gymnosperms are locked away in cones and generally not accessible to insects. What mechanism
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.

As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.
