Answer:

When a whale dies, it falls to the ocean floor. Its dead body is known as whale-fall. This whale-fall provides nutrients for whale-fall community, which includes bacteria, crabs, worms and other invertebrates. Organic fragments from the whale-fall enrich the sediments nearby. Enrichment opportunists colonize the whalebone and surrounding sediment in order to feed on this organic fragments.

There is a relationship between breathing and cellular respiration. Breathing
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

B) Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.

Explanation:

In breathing living organisms take oxygen and release the carbon dioxide it is similar to the aerobic respiration.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
