As scientists advise about potential risks due to climate change, species loss is a high ranking ecological concern. one group of species, the penguin, is of major concern. the adelie penguin of antarctica is undergoing population decline, with a 30% decline likely in the next thirty years, which of these is not a potential factor in adelie penguin decline due to climate change? a) increased global temperatures decrease the habitat and ice cover in antarctica for this penguins. b) increased evaporation can increase the salinity of the ocean, resulting in salty conditions that harm the penguins. c) increased global temperatures decreases the food available to the penguins as certain sensitive ocean species are declining. d) increased melting and precipitation in the antarctic can cause penguin young without waterproof feathers to get wet and freeze to death.

B) Increased evaporation can increase the salinity of the ocean, resulting in salty conditions that harm the penguins.

Explanation:

After tracking data on penguins over the past 30 years, researchers said numbers of the Antarctic-born Adelie and Chinstrap Penguins have been falling since 1986. This is a result of the damaging action of the man who has triggered global warming. and made life difficult for these species.

The warming of the waters due to climate change has caused the reduction of the ice sheet reducing the habitat of this animal that is exposed to predators, besides the increase of global temperature has reduced the population of Krill, the main food of these penguins, besides melting. and increased precipitation in Antarctica can cause young penguins without waterproof feathers to wet and freeze to death.

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
