Answer:
The two abiotic conditions in the coral reef that contribute to the high biodiversity are:
- Temperature
- Sunlight
Whilst the abiotic factors are
- Plant and
- Bacteria
Explanation:
The coral reef which covers a space of 115,831 square miles (or 30 million hectares os space) is home to a rich diversity of aquatic life (plants and animals alike). Being the largest coral reef on earth a lot of attention is given to it to ensure that its health and functionality is preserved.
The above factors contribute immensely to the stability and operability of the great reef.
The coral reef abounds with many aquatic animals such as crabs, herbivorous fish, sea turtles, sea urchins etc Many of these feed off microscopic plants such as the phytoplankton (that is tiny plants) and microscopic animals referred to as zooplankton. The zooplankton in turn feed off microscopic plant, bacterioplankton and even other zooplankton.
It is easy to see that at the base of the food chain lies Phytoplankton and bacterioplankton. This group require sunlight to thrive.
The smaller herbivorous fish, crabs, sea turtles and urchins on the other hand, constitute food for larger animals such as sharks, Baracuda etc.
It is also important to note that these microscopic life (plant and animals) require a certain temperature to thrive. If the water body in these eco system were to exceed a certain temperature, it is highly doubtful that they would survive. The death the the plant and animal life at the base of the food chain will completely disrupt the entire biodiversity and may even lead to its extinction.

Answer:
The correct answer is: Uncontrolled release of digestive enzymes into the duodenum.
Explanation:
- SER or the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is the major location in the cells where fatty acids and steroid molecules are produced.
- These fatty acid molecules form the structure of the various membranes in the cell, including the plasma membrane and organelle membrane.
- The membrane system of the cells gives them a structural integrity.
- Disruption of the SER of the pancreatic acinar cells by a toxin will prevent the synthesis of lipid molecules which forms the membranes in the cell.
- This will cause the membrane to lose its integrity, fluidity, flexibility and the ability to prevent unregulated movement of molecules across them.
- The digestive enzymes need to secreted by the pancreatic acinar cells into the duodenum only when food is available in the duodenum for digestion.
- But loss of the ability of the plasma membrane of the pancreatic acinar cells to regulate the flow of molecules across itself (due to disruption in the lipid production by SER) causes the unregulated flow of digestive enzymes out of the cells into the duodenum as soon as they get produced.
<em>sieve tube elements are the cells of phloem which allow transportation of photosynthates through phloem...
<u>
how sieve tube elements form sieve tubes:
</u>sieve tube elements are connected end to end and form a long chain which is called sieve tube,,,,
sieve tube elements are connected with the help of a side chain with the help of peptide bond...also one element has tapering end which easily overlaps with other end of next element to form sieve tube,,,,</em>
