Ans. False.

Coral reefs can be defined as underwater ecosystems, characterized by coral (marine invertebrates) skeletons. Coral reefs can survive only in clean and clear water. Pollutants and sediments smother the coral reefs, reduce water quality, and enhance the growth of damaging algae.

Pollution also makes coral reefs to become susceptible for disease, which impede growth and reproduction of corals, and cause damage to coral reefs.

Thus, the given statement is false as coral reefs are affected by pollution.

1. Why are two thick cotton sheets warmer than one single blanket
mash [69]
Since the air is a great thermal isolator, the windows prevent heat exchange better than one made out of a single thick sheet of glass. The air between the thin blankets is not moving around and will form an isolating layer that acts exactly like another blanket, thus improving the thermal isolation

What is binomial nomenclature? <br>​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binominal nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, binominal name or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name.
