The correct answer is option D

According to this hypothesis that pillar coral digested zooxanthellae, the coral digested zooxanthellae inside the pillar coral must be dead. If anything is engulfed then it should be first dead inside the body of the predator and then the energy is extracted from the food. The food eaten serves as a source of energy.

Describe the Real world examples of newtons third law that were intended in applications of newtons law

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The recoil force of a bazooka (reaction) + the accelerating force of a missile
When walking, the foot pushes down and back (action) + the floor pushes up and forward
When a rocket is taking off, the combustion of the fuels (an action) creates a direct and opposite reaction which is the thrust of the rocket upwards.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. Simply put, forces act in approximately equal and opposite pairs (Action and Reaction).

This law is one of the reasons why the foundation of a building must be built in such as way that is exerting equal and opposite pressure against the building which it is carrying. When the forces are equal, the balance of forces are said to be in equilibrium.

At one time, biologists thought that fungi were merely forms of plants that had lost their chlorophyll and had returned to sapro

Drupady [299]

Answer & explanation:

Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).

However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.

Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.
