The cardiovascular system is a system of organs that facilitates the circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Blood is required to reach all living cells as the blood carries essential elements for cell life and regulation, such as nutrients, amino acids, electrolytes,oxygen and hormones. The blood also has a role in maintaining body temperature, fighting diseases, maintaining a stable pH and maintaining homeostasis. The blood also carries carbon dioxide away from the cells. The cardiovascular system consists of a network of arteries, veins and capillaries, as well as the heart, which acts to pump blood around the body, Blood leaves the heart via arteries and return via veins. The lymphatic system transports lymph, typically at a much slower rate than blood. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system. Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The cardiovascular system processes a lot of blood each day through capillary filtration, which separates the blood cells from the plasma. Not all plasma is re-absorbed into the blood vessels, and the lymphatic system is responsible for returning the remaining plasma to the cardiovascular system.

Anni [7]

Answer:

Most organisms that live in coral reef habitats are zooxanthellae.

Explanation:

zooxanthellae are the single-celled dinoflagellates that lives in mutual relationship with corals, jellyfish, and nudibranchs. These organisms have a mutualistic relationship between zooxanthellae and corals. Coral produces carbon dioxide and water in the process of cellular respiration while on the other hand, the zooxanthellae use this carbon dioxide and water to carry out photosynthesis for making their own food like plants so both the organisms get benefit from one another.
