The shoreline is one of the harshest and most changeable environments for living creatures. The changing tides shift the environment dramatically within a sub-daily cycle. Here, we can consider two typical shoreline organisms, and the changing environment they must endure. Within the rocky shore environment, an octopus would be within the shallow but open sea environment during high tide, and water temperature and salinity conditions would be fairly constant. During low tide, the octopus might become trapped in a rock pool. This environment is dramatically different. The water temperature and salinity might increase drastically with exposure to solar radiation. The octopus is also more vulnerable to predation by humans and other land animals. Within the sandy shore environment, sand clams would be actively positioned at the interface of the sand and water, and will be actively filtering sea water for detritus. During low tide, the sand would be exposed to the air, and the clams would burrow down into the sand so as to avoid dessication.

The answer is segment Segment
<span>The mitochondria in eukaryotic cells originated from prokaryotic cells, bacteria that were once free-living. The mitochondria have their own DNA, which is inherited from the mother in most species. Similarly, plant cells have organelles called plastids which contain their own DNA and originated from free-living bacteria. The chloroplasts in plant cells, which convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy via photosynthesis, are a kind of plastid, and they originated from bacteria that could do photosynthesis.</span>
