The answer is <u>"d. increased temperature".</u>


At the point when corals are stressed by changes in conditions, for example, temperature, light, or supplements, they remove the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, making them turn totally white. Hotter water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. At the point when water is too warm, corals will oust the algae living in their tissues, making the coral turn totally white. This is known as coral bleaching.  

When a coral blanches, it isn't dead. Corals can endure a bleaching occasion, yet they are under more pressure and are liable to mortality.

Answer: d.increased temperature

Explanation:

The colony of coral polyp (coral reef) and algae lives in mutualistic association in oceanic waters. In this association the coral reef receives it's color and algae receives food and shelter. The increase in temperature is the abiotic factor responsible for the removal of the algal colony from the coral reef. The increase in temperature of oceanic water, causes the algal colony to swell and the algal colony get remove from the coral reef . The coral reef looks white due to the composition of calcium carbonate. This phenomena is called as coral bleaching.

D.  There is a known constant concentration of C14 in Nature.  As we consume living things to survive our bodies (made of carbon) stop replenishing our body's carbon (we stop eating) and start to decay.  Since we know the 1/2 life of C14 and the ratio of C14 to normal C12 we can determine fairly accurately how long ago a thing stopped consuming carbon (e.g. when it died)

the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's _______ , and the number of electrons determines _______ o
Sedbober [7]

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s identity and the number of electrons determines electrical charge of an element.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are enclosed in a specific spherical region at the center of the atom termed as nucleus of the atom. This is because proton is positive charge and neutron is neutral charged high mass particles.

While the electrons are negative charged lighter mass particles. So the electrons will revolve around the nucleus. The protons number in element's one atom helps to identity its chemical properties of the element. While the electrons number in an element will determine the electrical charge and conducting nature of the element.
