47、 jellyfish fit into the story?Well,its the jelly part of jellyfish,and specifically their sticky,jelly-like mucus that is key.Jellyfish produce a thick,sticky liquid called mucus.Dr Ana Rotter has discovered that this mucus has strong absorptive capabilitiesit can absorb,take in liquids and other su

48、bstances.One of the substances jellyfish mucus absorbs are the particles that make up microplastics.Dr Rotters research is still in the early stages,but its hoped that jellyfish mucus could hold the key to a future free of microplastic polluted oceans.Scientists are hoping that the mucuss absorptive

49、 propertiesits abilities to absorb liquids and other substances and hold them,will allow it to trap particles of plastic floating in the sea.By trapping these,the mucus acts like a magnetan object that attracts certain materials,like metal,but in this case,microplastic waste.高三英语第 7 页（共 10 页）angest
