A chemical defense mechanism is called bioluminescence.
As mentioned in the reaction, Ceratium fusus undergoes a special chemical reaction at night which helps them defend themselves from predators. During this reaction, light is produced inside a living organism. However, this type of reaction does not produce heat although it does produce light.
<h3>
What is bioluminescence used for?</h3>
The most well-known purpose of bioluminescence is to defend the organism against attacks by predators. This is because the light confuses or frightens predators.
Besides confusing the predator, the light can also alert large predators to approach the location of the organism, in this way this large predator will eat the predator that is threatening the organism which in our question, is Ceratium fusus.
Many marine organisms use the phenomenon of bioluminescence for their defense, in particular marine invertebrates, vertebrates, certain micro-organisms as well as certain fish and fungi.
Hence concluded that the bioluminescence characteristic of Ceratium fusus is being described.

Answer: C
Explanation: I'm not one hundred percent sure I know the context of this question, but biodiversity in an ecosystem means there's a wide variety of organisms, and a hotspot I assume would be an area that has an unusual amount of diversity.
Nucleoid is the answer

What are the nephron?
Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. There are about two million nephrons in each of our kidneys. Each nephron has a network of glomelural capillaries called glomerulus where blood filtration occurs, and the renal tabule which is where the filtered fluid is converted to urine.
How they work?
The nephrons act as a filter, cleaning our blood. Unwanted metabolites like urea and creatinine are taken from the blood, as well as high amounts of sodium. The filtered fluid flows from inside Bowman's capsule (epithelial cells surrounding the glomerulus) and from there into the proximal tubule (see attached figure at the end). From the tubule, fluid flows into several other ducts until it reaches the ducts where collectors will empty into the renal pelvis.
