In the 1970s, staghorn corals dominated Caribbean reefs. Since that time, staghorn corals have declined by over 90% and are now

classified as critically endangered. What do you think are the causes of this decline, and why do you think staghorn is so vulnerable?

The major cause of staghorn corals decline is, that some organisms in the same aquatic environment affect them negatively and harm them a lot.

<h3>What do you mean by Corals?</h3>

Corals may be defined as marine invertebrates organisms that are composed of colonies of skeletons underwater bodies.

Staghorn is so vulnerable because its branches are so fragile and break by any disturbances. This causes the staghorn to ultimately disintegrate and die.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Analyze the oxygen levels of the victims. Were the levels higher or lower than normal? How can you reconcile this observation wi
fredd [130]

Answer:

In the case study of the Chicago cyanide murder, the oxygen levels were very low which lead to the death of the cells in the body (there would be signs of dead cells in the victims' bodies).

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of all cells in the animal body, it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

When the cyanide stops the activities of the mitochondrion, each cell in the body begins to die as a result of hypoxia, which is a condition where the body or a part of the body is deprived of oxygen.

Please help fill in the blanks !!!
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. Chloroplast

2. cellular respiration

3. ATP

4. C6H1206(s) + 02(g) -- CO2(g) + 6H20(I) + energy

Explanation:

This question is describing the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis occurs in the CHLOROPLAST, which is responsible for the conversion of solar energy (from sun) into chemical energy (in glucose). The general photosynthetic reaction is:

6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy → C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)

Contrarily, the process of cellular respiration occurs in the MITOCHONDRIA. Cellular respiration involves the breaking down of food molecules to synthesize ATP (energy) for use during biochemical reactions. The general chemical reaction is as follows:

C6H1206(s) + 02(g) → CO2(g) + 6H20(I) + energy

How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?
Lana71 [14]

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.
