List at least 3 interesting facts about something you have learned so far in Unit 2 Ecology. Please use at least 2 to 3 Sentence
Oksanka [162]

1.)Coral reefs are busy underwater ecosystems. Some people call them the “rainforests of the sea.” The corals look like rocks but actually are animals. They have hard calcium carbonate skeletons like clams. They form a base for lots of other organisms to live. You’ll find crabs, sea stars, worms, clams, sponges, jellies, sea turtles, and lots of fish. Coral reefs are complicated and very fragile. They are easily affected by pollution.

2.) Tropical rainforests are near the equator where it’s almost always warm and wet. These are the key ingredients for making lots of lush plants and trees. Half of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. It’s a very busy ecosystem with many kinds of plants, animals, fungi, and microscopic organisms. Many of them live here and nowhere else.

3.) In the world’s many deserts, there is very little rain. The land is very, very dry. Here, living things have creative ways of finding and saving water. Cactuses are very good at storing water. They can live without rain for months. The kangaroo mouse lives in the Nevada desert. It rarely drinks water. It can get its water from the food it eats.

What do fires, hurricanes, and other natural disturbances result in?
Lina20 [59]
If I am correct I believe this is secondary succession


Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. Examples include areas which have been cleared of existing vegetation (such as after tree-felling in a woodland) and destructive events such as fires.

What are the ways oxygen is transported in the blood, ranked according to the way that is responsible for the majority of transp
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

f. 1- Hb; 2- dissolved in plasma

Explanation:

Transport of oxygen in the body occurs in two way; oxygen bound to hemoglobin and oxygen dissolved in plasma.

1. Bound to hemoglobin :

Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein molecule found in red blood cells and is responsible for the colour of red blood cells. It is composed of four subunits of two types of the protein globin: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. Each subunit surrounds a central heme group (red in color) that can bind one oxygen molecule.Therefore, each hemoglobin molecule can bind and transport four oxygen molecules. About 98.5% of oxygen is transported in the body bound to hemoglobin.

2. Oxygen is only fairly soluble in blood plasma. As a result, only 1.5 percent of oxygen in the blood is dissolved and transported in blood plasma.
