Coral reef communities develop primarily in shallow, low-nutrient, tropical waters. Coral reefs are formed by coral polyps, whic

h excrete the solid calcium carbonate skeleton that makes up the reef. A particular algae lives within the coral polyps and provides the polyps with nutrients from photosynthesis. Nutrients released by the algae and coral polyps are then filtered by sponges, forming the base of the coral reef community food chain which also includes fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and sea turtles. Coral reefs can be damaged when an excess of nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, enters the water through pollution. When this happens, the algae and the polyps die, and the coral skeleton eventually collapses. After a coral reef collapses, which organisms are most likely to succeed the coral in this ecosystem?

Answer: In actuality, no organism will be able to replace the coral reefs.

Explanation: The climate change has made the waters warmer, this has hit the coral reefs really bad, they tend to lose colour and the capability to produce food. The coral reef tend to get bleached. They can struck to

- disease

- algae      

- death

The acidification has increased the absorption of carbon dioxide which has compounded in the bleaching problem too.

when you think of the collapse, perhaps only corals which have developed a high resistance to the heat as well the acidification may remain but will they be the same. The answer is a no. None of the organisms or ecosystem can make up the functionality of the coral reefs.

<h3>What is smallpox?</h3>

Variola major or Variola minor are the two virus strains that cause the contagious sickness known as smallpox. The variola virus (VARV) agent is a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus. The World Health Organization confirmed the illness's universal eradication in 1980 after the last naturally occurring case was diagnosed in October 1977, making polio the only human disease to have achieved this feat.

Fever and vomiting were among the disease's earliest signs. This was followed by the development of mouth ulcers and a rash. The skin rash developed into the typical fluid-filled blisters with a dimple in the middle over a period of days. The scars were left after the lumps scabbed over and dropped off. People could contract the illness from contaminated things or from one another. Prevention is through the vaccine for smallpox.

¿ Cuales son los sistemas que intevienen en el proceso de nutricion? ¿ Que funcion cumple cada uno de ellos en ese proceso?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

digestivo, respiratorio, circulatorio y excretor

Explanation:

El proceso de nutrición consiste en la ingesta de alimentos, los cuales son posteriormente transformados en energía y estructuras celulares que el organismo necesita para funcionar normalmente. Durante este proceso, intervienen cuatro sistemas:

- Sistema digestivo: descompone químicamente los alimentos en nutrientes. Los alimentos son sometidos a un proceso de fragmentación mecánica y digestión química. En primer lugar, los alimentos son triturados en la boca por los dientes, mezclados con saliva para formar un bolo alimenticio que llega al estómago donde los jugos gástricos los transforman en una papilla conocida como quimo. A continuación, los nutrientes llegan al intestino delgado donde son mezclados con el jugo pancreático y la bilis del hígado para ser absorbidos por la sangre. Finalmente, los compuestos que no fueron absorbidos llegan al intestino grueso donde se absorbe lo que queda de agua y lo demás es eliminado.

- Sistema respiratorio: los pulmones son los órganos encargado del proceso de respiración mediante el cual el organismo intercambia gases con el ambiente a través la sangre. De este modo el organismo obtiene oxígeno que es utilizado para oxidar los nutrientes obtenidos por el sistema digestivo.

- Sistema circulatorio: encargado de transportar nutrientes y oxígeno a las células del cuerpo y simultáneamente transportar elementos de desecho hasta los órganos del sistema excretor.

- Sistema excretor: encargado de eliminar los desechos de los alimentos. Los compuestos que no fueron digeridos en el intestino delgado llegan al intestino grueso donde se transforman en las heces las cuales son expulsadas por el ano. Por otra parte, el aparato urinario formado por los riñones y la vejiga urinaria funcionan para eliminar los desechos de la sangre a través de la orina.
