Answer:

d) polyps; calcium carbonate

Explanation:

The Acanthaster planci It is a kind of invasive starfish, which destroys corals: it has poisonous spines and feeds on coral polyps at the expense of the reef.

On the other hand, CO2 reacts with water, forming carbonic acid and reducing the available calcium carbonate, an essential element so that marine organisms, from clams to hedgehogs, can form their skeletons and shells.

If the body temperature of a person is recorded as 37 degrees Celsius, what is the persons body temperature in k? Round your ans
maw [93]

Answer:

The right answer to this question is: 310k

Explanation:

There's a very good formula that can help us to find this answer, but first, we need to know the temperature scale  in Celsius and Kelvin, there's an image below that will help us gather information.

The formula is quite simple, check it below:

C/5  = K-273/5

putting the values we already have in the formula it would be like this:

37/5 = K-273/5

Cutting out the fives, we can have the final result

37= K-273

37+273 = K

K= 310.
