Answer 1

To answer the questions based on the scientific journal article you referenced, I'll provide likely responses based on common knowledge about the topics discussed. Since I cannot read the specific articles, the answers are framed from general principles. Here are the suggested responses:

Question 1: What is one major contributor to greenhouse gases released by livestock?

• Answer: Methane

Question 2: What was the focus of the recent study mentioned in the text?

• Answer: lowering methane emissions with seaweed.

Question 3: Which substance is mentioned in the text as helping to control methane production in livestock?

• Answer: Nitrates (Note: Check the article to confirm if it explicitly mentions nitrates or possibly another substance like Asparagopsis).

Question 4: What percentage of methane reduction in sheep was achieved by Asparagopsis taxiformis?

• Answer: 80%

Question 5: According to the passage, what is one factor that can affect how well seaweed works in reducing methane?

• Answer: type of animal fed the seaweed

Question 6: What is the key feature of seaweeds mentioned in the text that may impact methane production by rumen methanogens?

• Suggested Answer: The presence of specific bioactive compounds (like bromoform in certain seaweeds) that inhibit methanogenic activity in the rumen.

Please verify these responses against the actual content of the articles for accuracy.
