The correct answer is option A

The corals need clean and clear water that can allow the direct sunlight to pass to through it and reach corals.  

The sediments and the plankton on the surface of the water can cloud the water and decreases the amount of sunlight reaching the corals (zooxanthellae)

As a result of this the coral population would decrease in population due to lack of sunlight.

Write a 5 sentence paragraph that describes the characteristics that all living things share​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

<u>Living things are derived from single units and show several characteristics such as growth respiration, response to stimuli, homeostasis, evolution, and reproduction.</u>

Explanation:

The natural world comprises several biotic or living and abiotic, non-living factors. Cells, are considered the smallest unit capable of supporting life.  All living, or biotic factors must be able to grow, carry out respiration- a process that produces energy, and reproduce (pass on genes). They also  show some level of organization or complexity, and respond to stimuli. Additionally, living organisms exhibit homeostasis or control over their internal environment and evolve or change over time to adapt to their external environments.

after the brain receives information from the body's sensory receptors, what is the next step in responding to this information?
Bumek [7]

The sensory receptors refer to the portions of the nervous system, which sense variations in the external or internal surroundings. The sensory input can be in various forms, comprising taste, pressure, light, sound, pH of blood, or levels of hormones, which are transformed into a signal and are transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.  

In the sensory centers of the brain, the barrage of information is integrated and a response is produced. The response, that is, a motor output refers to a signal conducted towards organs via motor neurons, which then transforms the signal into some kind of action, like changes in heart rate, movement, discharge of hormones, and others.
