1.)Coral reefs are busy underwater ecosystems. Some people call them the “rainforests of the sea.” The corals look like rocks but actually are animals. They have hard calcium carbonate skeletons like clams. They form a base for lots of other organisms to live. You’ll find crabs, sea stars, worms, clams, sponges, jellies, sea turtles, and lots of fish. Coral reefs are complicated and very fragile. They are easily affected by pollution.
2.) Tropical rainforests are near the equator where it’s almost always warm and wet. These are the key ingredients for making lots of lush plants and trees. Half of the world’s plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. It’s a very busy ecosystem with many kinds of plants, animals, fungi, and microscopic organisms. Many of them live here and nowhere else.
3.) In the world’s many deserts, there is very little rain. The land is very, very dry. Here, living things have creative ways of finding and saving water. Cactuses are very good at storing water. They can live without rain for months. The kangaroo mouse lives in the Nevada desert. It rarely drinks water. It can get its water from the food it eats.
B) A node would be introduced.
This would be used to help provide distinctions to these species
It means that there is selection against that trait.

Answer:
A. Fishing for sea life that lives on or near the shore would be more difficult.
C. The California Grunion fish would have a hard time laying eggs.
Explanation:
The moon is an important aspect of Earth's existence. It influences the change of "ocean tides" <em>(high tide and low tide)</em>. If the moon were to suddenly disappear<em> it will present a number of problems. </em>
Firstly, the tides would<u> all remain the same</u><em> (small tides)</em>. They would also be <em>smaller </em>than the usual tide in the world today. Since the tide will be lower than usual, <u>the marine organisms will not survive living on or near the shore anymore. </u>This will make fishing for sea life in these areas more difficult.
The "California Grunion fish" normally lays its eggs along the <em>coastal areas,</em> which is <em>out of the water.</em> If the tide will be lower than usual, then they will have a hard time going to the coastlines for laying eggs.
So, this explains the answers.
Sun is the primary source of energy. There exists some loss of energy when the energy transfers through successive trophic levels. ... So the energy would be always decreasing as we go to higher trophic levels, it can never d ecrease. Therefore, we cannot have an inverted pyramid of energy.
