Ling, a 75-year-old grandmother, complained that her vision was becoming obscured. Upon examination by an ophthalmologist she wa

s told she had cataracts.
What are cataracts, how do they occur, and how are they treated?

a. A cataract is a clouding of the lens. Some cataracts are congenital, but most are due to age-related hardening and thickening of the lens, diabetes mellitus, or exposure to UV rays over time. The lens can be removed and replaced
with an artificial lens.
b. A cataract is a clouding of the cornea. Some cataracts are congenital, but most are due to age-related hardening and thickening of the lens, diabetes mellitus, or exposure to UV rays over time. A corneal transplant can be performed to replace the damaged cornea.
c. A cataract is increased intraocular pressure. This occurs when drainage of the aqueous humor is blocked. They are treated with eyedrops that increase the rate of aqueous humor drainage or decrease its production.
d. A cataract occurs when there are unequal curvatures in different parts of the cornea or lens. This is a congenital condition. Specially ground lenses or laser surgical procedures are used to correct this problem.

An adventure company that takes divers and tourists on glass-bottomed boat tours of a coral reef ecosystem has noticed changes i
Semmy [17]

As we get closer to the coral reef, there are going to be several things we notice. The first thing we notice will be the large number of coral that seem to have lost their color, turning bright white. In addition, if we are in Florida, we may see something called the stony coral tissue loss disease. This disease has been of great concern in recent years in Floridian waters. Looking at these two changes, we can see that both are from the impact of climate change. As the water warms, the stress on the coral reaches a high point and they start to bleach and become more susceptible to several diseases.

I hope I've helped! :)

Cellular respiration is the process by which cell break down glucose with oxygen to store the energy as adenine triphosphate or ATP.
