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.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Group 1 - Alkali metals; Group 4 - Elemental Properties

Explanation:

The elements in Group 1 are called Alkali metals and those are: Lithium, Potassium, Rubidium, Celsium, Francium and Sodium and the elements in Group 4 are called: Titanium, Hafnium, Zirconium and Rutherfoundium.

It's important that group 4 has no trivial name like the group 1 does, it belongs to the grouping of transition metals and those metals have several general properties. They are found in the middle of the periodic table.

if you break down the word interactions, it means ”the actions between.“ How would you define interactions between two species?

Answer:

Symbiosis is an interaction characterized by two or more species living purposefully in direct contact with each other. The term "symbiosis" includes a broad range of species interactions but typically refers to three major types: mutualism, commensalism and parasitism.

The three formed elements found in blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Compare their functions to one a

Firdavs [7]

Well the red blood cells ( erythrocytes) contain the oxygen carrying pigment known as haemoglobin. Hence RBCs carry oxygen to every cell ion the body.
The white blood cells ( leukocytes) form the cell mediated defence system of the body, they kill microbes and foreign particles either by phagocytosis or lysozymic reactions.
The platelets (thrombocytes) help in the blood clotting process.
This is my comparism of tne blood components.
