Two reefs are exposed to the black band disease pathogen. Reef A is located in a remote area off a rocky coast that receives lit
tle rainfall. Reef B is located near a resort hotel, a heavily fertilized golf course, and a forest that has been recently clearcut for a housing development. Both reefs are dominated by star corals. What is the most likely outcome of the disease on each reef?
The black band disease is caused by the tissue degrading action of cyanobacteria on the skeleton of the corals. Cyanobacteria thrive in places that are rich in nutrients. Hence the coral reef B will be the most affected one, as the water there will have a nutrients from the farm run-offs, that will help the cyanobacteria thrive in large numbers to deteriorate the condition of the exposed star corals. Reef A will comparatively less affected to reef B as the water is clean and is not contaminated by any run-offs to increase the water nutrient content.
The study of proteomes allows scientists to compare<span> proteome sequences between species to see if similar proteins are expressed in all species.</span>
To solve the problem, let us note that the calcium percentage no longer considers the moisture content of the canned dog food. Taking the 75% of the sample 681 grams results in a moisture content of 510.75. This is "removed" from consideration and we're left with 170.25 grams which we multiply with the given (dry basis) percentage of calcium to get 2.043 grams of Calcium.
