Answer:

D) When corals are babies floating in the plankton, fish swim with them and protect them from harm.

Explanation:

This is the statement that does not explain how fish and coral relate to one another. It is false that when corals are babies, fish swim with them and protect them. However, the rest of the statements are true. It is true that fish eat predators, and that they also eat seaweed and kelp that could smother the coral. Finally, it is also true that some fish live symbiotically with coral, luring prey for the coral to kill and eat.

qaws [65]
The options are all related, and the answer is D) All of the Above. 

The synergistic effects of exposure to multiple toxins are more difficult to quantify and study. As a result, there is not sufficient research on how much a system can take when exposed to multiple pollutants. This lack of research also means that we often do not even know what the effect of these interactions between multiple toxins are.

As a result of these gaps in our knowledge of the interactions between toxins, it is difficult to evaluate the threshold for pollutants, since a system will rarely feature only one pollutant in isolation.

In order to maintain equilibrium. the water inside the cell will start flowing outside in order to maintain equilibrium, causing shrinkage of cell. The ability of a cell to divide or function will reduce because of water loss. This phenomenon is seen in case of hypertonic solution. Water will start diffusing from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.
