Reefs are formed by calcium carbonate produced by the coral polyps. As a single polyp dies, its soft tissue decays, but the calcium carbonate cup remains.Other polyps build on top of the cup, and when they die, other polyps will build on their cups. Over time, this process creates larger and larger coral reefs.While corals are the chief architects of the reef structure, they are not the only builders. Corallin algae cement various corals together with compounds of calcium, and other organisms such as tube worms andmollusks donate their hard skeletons to the construction.
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them.
Schematically, they look like -C-C-C-C- ...
If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.
If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated. It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.
Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures. Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources. However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.

Sea squirts get their nickname from their tendency to "squirt" out water when they are removed from the sea.
1.Use both genus and species name: Felis catus.
2.Italicize the whole name.
3.Capitalize only the genus name.
