Cell Structure and Function

Altered microbial community composition leading to changes in nutrient cycling rates.

Direct damage to amphibian eggs resulting in lower reproductive success and subsequent population declines among predators relying on them as food source.

Immediate decrease in fish populations sensitive to pH changes causing reduced predation pressure on zooplankton.

Increased algal blooms due to decreased competition for nutrients from other aquatic plants dying off from acidity.

Ribosome

Mitochondrion

Golgi apparatus

Endoplasmic reticulum

DNA replication prior to mitosis or meiosis.

Mitotic cell division for somatic cell growth.

Sexual reproduction involving meiosis and fertilization.

Binary fission as seen in bacterial cell division.

The genes are located far from each other.

There is no relationship between gene location and recombination frequency.

The genes are located close to each other.

The genes are located on different chromosomes.

Cell membrane permeability would increase drastically.

Cellular respiration would cease entirely.

The cell would have difficulty synthesizing proteins efficiently.

The rate of photosynthesis in plant cells would surge.

Because it generates more ATP than aerobic respiration under certain conditions.

To regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis during high-intensity exercise when oxygen supply to muscles is limited.

To increase oxygen availability to other cells by reducing its own consumption.

Lactic acid fermentation occurs only when there's no oxygen available at all times.

Metabolic pathway fluxes as enzymes associated with centrioles become dysfunctional.

Photosynthesis light reactions because centrioles play an essential part in chloroplast function.

Mitosis, particularly during spindle formation and subsequent chromosome separation.

Endocytosis processes given that centriole structure influences membrane invagination.

The quantity of dispersants used to break down oil slicks on the water's surface.

The temperature of the water influencing the rate at which oil naturally degrades.

The timing of human intervention efforts such as controlled burns or physical removal.

The genetic diversity within affected populations allowing for adaptive responses to pollutants.

Compensatory growth secondary forests potentially offsetting some CO₂ emissions initially released clearing trees.

Reduced photosynthesis leading diminished carbon sequestration capacity across vast terrestrial areas.

Temporary surge atmospheric CO₂ levels before homeostasis restored through ocean absorption processes.

Shifts decomposition dynamics with more dead organic matter accumulating ground surface instead being recycled back ecosystem.

It would not affect either property significantly as the primary structure remains unchanged.

It would decrease both fluidity and permeability because of increased hydrophobic interactions.

It would increase both fluidity and permeability due to less Van der Waals interactions.

It would increase fluidity but decrease permeability due to altered packing of lipids.
