Coral reefs are ideal breeding grounds for a variety of fish and sea creatures, and coral is considered a foundation species. Un

fortunately, coral reefs are fragile ecosystems and are easily disrupted. Because coral contain calcium carbonate deposits, one situation poses a growing threat to coral as well as the many organisms that are dependent on them. That situation is
A) the disappearance of certain species of fish due to overfishing.
Eliminate
B) the deposition of calcium on the reefs, due to the leaching of calcium from dead organisms.
C) over exposure to sunlight due to the relatively shallow nature of the ocean around the reefs.
D) acidification of the ocean caused by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions that dissolve in water.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "acidification of the ocean caused by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions that dissolve in water".

Explanation:

According to scientific evidence, coral reefs and many organisms that have calcium carbonate shells are affected by high carbon dioxide emissions. When sea water absorbs carbon dioxide, the pH of water is reduced in what is known as acidification of the ocean. In consequence, less calcium carbonate is available for coral reefs to be used as shells, which traduces as a major threat for their populations.

Naily [24]

Answer:

The students with the purple shirts are moving through the gym doors most often.

Explanation:

  • The students with the purple shirts represent potassium ions
  • Potassium ions move freely across the membrane by passive transport and are important in maintaining membrane potentials
  • The movement of sodium ions is through active transport therefore this is a process that requires energy (ATP) and thus these ions are less likely to move across the membrane often

3. Which "'TWO" processes are used to move water throughout the
Svetach [21]
Xylem and Phloem. They are both part of the vascular tissue. Xylem is responsible for the movement of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves for photosynthesis. Phloem transports the sugar made during photosynthesis from the leaves to different parts of the plant. I'm pretty sure that water is included when the sugar is transported (in phloem) but you should just check if water is transported after photosynthesis just to make sure
