The steeper the slope the faster and more powerful the flow of the water can be thus causing more damage to the slope
I'm pretty sure these include light availability, oxygen levels, water movement, salinity, density and pH. These conditions often vary from habitat to habitat and will either support or limit the life processes of the marine organisms living there.
Hopefully that's right.
...The enzymes in the shrimp denature when exposed to the higher heat. Enzymes denature at high heat. That's what kills you when you're fever is too high, your enzymes denature, which means they are deformed/ become the wrong shape. Since the activation sites on enzymes are very sensitive to shape, they wouldn't work anymore. The cold doesn't denature enzymes however. They don't work as quickly but they still retain their shape.
