Viruses lack the properties of living things:

1. They have no energy metabolism

2. They do not grow

3. They do not respond to stimuli

ANSWER ASAP: Dead zones are caused largely by the input of agricultural fertilizers that stimulate phytoplankton blooms, which d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

PtichkaEL [24]

This is a symbiotic relationship between the Boxer crab and sea anemone.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The symbiosis is a type of relationship between two species which has benifit for both the participating organisms.

Here in case of boxer crab, the crab gets the help from the sea anemone in the form of protection. The sea anemone chases the predators and thereby saves the organism from being hunted.

On the other hand, the sea anemone gets food from the crab's prey which he hunts.

So there's a benifit for both.
