Shoreline environments are highly variable, both in space and time. Organisms occupying the shoreline have adapted to a certain degree of natural variation in habitat and environmental conditions. For example, the breaching of normally closed estuaries to the sea during rough/high seas and high rainfall allows juvenile fish to enter the ocean and for adult fish to enter the estuary to spawn. 
Protective structures to prevent sand loss or counteract high tides may act to disrupt this natural variation in habitat and environment. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that due to climate change, shoreline environments are experiencing more frequent extreme conditions, such as storms and higher sea levels. Protective structures could act to provide slightly more stable environmental conditions under which certain organisms can survive.

Explain the fluid mosaic model
MrRa [10]
The model describes how cellular membranes i.e. lipid bilayers are organized. Despite the fluidity, lipid bilayers can form certain domains with different characterisrics and compositions. The cell can use different mixtures of lipids to create a 'mosaic' or 'patchwork' of domains.
An example of such domains are so called 'lipid rafts' which are aggregates of certain lipids (mostly cholesterol and sphingomyelins). In these rafts the lateral diffusion of membrane-bound proteins is strongly reduced, thereby forming stable complexes to facilitate, for example, signal-processing and transduction.
Note that a lot about how or why a cell creates these domains is still unknown.

What molecule is used to store and release energy in cells
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP.

Aleks [24]

Prior to 1900, sea levels rose at maximum, 4 cm per year. Since 1900 sea levels have risen 11 cm per year.

<h3>How sea level is measured?</h3>
  • Tide stations and satellite laser altimeters are the main tools used to measure sea level.
  • The height of the sea as measured along the shore in relation to a particular place on land is what tide stations all around the world tell us about what is happening locally.
  • NASA uses satellites to measure sea level all over the world.
  • Height of the ocean's surface, often known as sea level, is measured by the Jason-3 satellite using radio waves and other equipment.
  • It studies how the global sea level is changing over time for the entire Earth every 10 days.
  • The average sea level is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi), and it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 mi) at the poles.
