What roles do coralline and calcareous algae play in reefs formation??

Biology
1 answer:
borishaifa [10]3 years ago
4 0
Coralline and calcareous algae build-ups are very essential for the development of coral reefs. In addition, when these coralline and calcareous algae tends to "stick" on landforms below the ocean surface, and as these life forms grows and continuously expands, they now form what we call "reefs."

Which type of epithelium is composed of multiple layers, including an apical layer containing tall, slender cells?
Mademuasel [1]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Simple squamous
  • Simple columnar
  • Pseudostratified squamous
  • Stratified squamous
  • Stratified columnar

Answer:

Stratified columnar

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is the tissue formed by the cells which form a layer of cell and lines the lumen of the organ and also covers the organs. The epithelial tissue can be classified based on the number of layer and shape of the cell.

In the given question, the shape of the cell is slender and are tall therefore are called columnar. The cells form more than one layer or multiple layers therefore form stratified layers.

Therefore,  the epithelial tissue formed by these slender shaped multiple layers is known as the stratified columnar layer. The stratified columnar is present in the respiratory tract and the digestive tract.

Thus,  Stratified columnar is the correct answer.

What were Punnett squares developed to do?
WITCHER [35]

Answer: to predict the probability of offspring genotypes

Explanation: Punnett squares are developed to predict the probability of offspring genotype. Punnett square is a square shaped diagram used for predicting the possible genotypes of a cross between two organisms. Punnett square is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who invented the approach. In punnett squares, the genotypes of the parents are written on the top and left hand side of the square while the possible genotypes of their offsprings are written in the boxes.

Corals form symbiotic relationships with microscopic photosynthetic algae that live in their cells and give the corals their dis
12345 [234]

Answer and Explanation:

Corals are translucid or white, but they look brightly colored because they host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments . They can host different organisms that live on and among them, giving place to an amazing ecosystem.    

One of these organisms is the photosynthetic unicellular microalgae, called zooxanteles, that are colorful and provide nutrients to the coral.  

Corals provide shelter and protection to the algae, while algae provide nitrogenated nutrients, sugars, and color to the corals. Algae can store nitrogen in their tissues as nitrogen-rich crystals, which are constantly provided to corals.

This symbiotic relation allows corals to grow in different environments that are poor in nitrogen or other nutrients, such as the tropical clear waters.

When changes in radiation, temperature, or salinity in water occur, corals react to these changes losing these algae and becoming translucid again.

Explain how an organism's ability to survive and reproduce can affect the entire population
inn [45]

Answer:

The organism will pass on the traits to their offspring. If the offspring also has an increased chance of survival it will have a higher chance of passing on the traits. Over a long period of time the entire population can inherit this trait.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive to the reproductive stage and pass on the beneficial gene to their offspring. <em>Natural selection selects beneficial traits.</em>
