Answer: d. It is composed of thousands of individual coral organisms.

Explanation: Coral are marine invertebrate organisms which belong to the phylum Cnidaria. Coral polyps are the organisms which are identical to each other and they remain in the colonies. The corals species forms the reef typically in the tropical oceans by secreting calcium carbonate to form hard skeleton. This reef helps the animals to remain protected against the predators and they also provide a shelter to a number of marine animals.

On the basis of the above information, d. It is composed of thousands of individual coral organisms. is the correct option.

The answer is D. Coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups. The polyps belong to a group of animals known as Cnidaria, which also includes sea anemones and jellyfish. Unlike sea anemones, corals secrete hard carbonate exoskeletons which support and protect the coral polyps. Most reefs grow best in warm, shallow, clear, sunny and agitated water. @wiki Hope this helps and if your feeling generous give it a rate, thanks and brainliest because it would really help me get virtuoso and I would appreciate it ;)

Different body cells can respond differently to the same peptide hormone because _____.
ch4aika [34]
The correct answer is d: a target cell's response is determined by the components of its signal transduction pathways.
The response of a cell to a hormone depends on the cell’s receptor and a signal transduction. When a peptide hormone binds to a receptor on the cell membrane, a second messenger is activated in the cytoplasm. The second messenger has a role of triggering signal transduction leading to the cellular response. Lots of different signal transduction processes (for example, different intracellular proteins) are used to coordinate the behaviour of target cells.

Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

T tubules do not generate ATPs. This is done by mitochondria. T tubules are the invagination of cell membranes into the muscle cells. They allow for rapid actuation of the action  potential by the muscle cells. They do this by synchronizing the release of calcium ions that are important in muscle contraction.
