Basement membrane

A thin extracellular layer upon which an epithelial rests is called a basement membrane.

Basement membrane is a specialised form of extracellular matrix on which a layer of epithelial cells rests . The basement membrane is made up of a mixture of collagens, and glycoproteins such as perlecan, heparan sulphate and entactin. The basement membrane supports the overlying epithelium by preventing any association between the epithelial cells and the other cells present within the tissue. The basement membrane also functions as a molecular filter as it permit only water and tiny molecules to move through.

As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.

Answer:

Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.

The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral  food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.

If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.

There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.

Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.

How does salinity differ in the oceans?
Len [333]
Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.

What are the properties of water, and how do they help to sustain life on earth?
ANTONII [103]

The main property of water that helps sustain life on earth is that water has. a high specific heat. This causes water to gain heat very slowly.

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water by one degree Celsius. Specific heat of water is 4, 186 joules /gram Celsius, and it is higher than that of a metal and of any other common substance.

Due to this, water resists tendency to evaporate or to vaporize and  therefore plays the crucial role of stabilizing temperatures on earth for terrestrial life and at the same time enabling aquatic organisms to maintain relatively constant internal temperatures.
