D. If pillar coral digest zooxanthellae, then the zooxanthellae inside the pillar coral must be dead.

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.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

D. oxygen is the final electron acceptor.

Explanation:

Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in aerobic cellular respiration. The whole pathway includes glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Oxidation of NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle through electron transport chain during oxidative phosphorylation includes molecular oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.

The proton motive force generated during the electron transfer from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen gas drives phosphorylation of a large number of ADPs into ATPs.

How would you classify corals' role in its community (keystone, dominant, foundation, pioneer, Indicator, or more than one) and

kogti [31]

Answer: Keystone species

Explanation: A keystone species is a species which occupied a niche so central in the ecosystem that it has a disproportionately large effect on its environment and other species in it.

The coral's function in its ecosystem is so vital that if you were to remove it, the entire community would be drastically altered beyond recognition.

The coral serves as the base structure of its ecosystem.

That is to say that many corals are hermatypic(they form reefs). This reef serves as the environmental structure of the Coral's ecosystem. Built in and around it is a very biodiverse biotic environment. The coral not only serves as a hiding place and habitat for many marine organisms including fish, clams, lobsters, etc. It serves as resting place for larger animals like turtles and also serves as hunting sites for other animal species.

The most common way of determining a keystone species, is to see what happens when that species is removed from the ecosystem. Coral have shown to be so central to their ecosystem that the bleaching of coral reefs due to tourism and climate change causes a massive loss to biodiversity. And this is quite significant as reefs are the most biodiverse marine habitats.
