Explanation:
Coral reefs are situated in humid oceans close to the equator. The major coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The subsequent main coral reef is situated off the shore of Belize, in Central America. Further reefs are situated in Hawaii, the Red Sea, and other areas in humid oceans. Coral ecosystems are a basis of nutrition for millions; shield the shorelines from hurricanes and erosion; offer home, to reproducing and nursery grounds for economically important fish species; provide jobs and income to local economies from fishing, recreation, and tourism; are a source of new medicines etc. Coral reefs begin to form when free-swimming coral larvae attach to submerged rocks or other hard surfaces along the edges of islands or continents. As the corals grow and expand, reefs take on one of three major characteristic structures —fringing, barrier or atoll.
They are called crypts.
Hope this helps!
P.S. There's a quizlet for this :)
\(^ ◇^)/
The simultaneous arrival of graded depolarization and a graded hyperpolarization of equal but opposite magnitude at a particular location on the dendritic membrane is likely to cancel the effects of each other and no change will occur in the membrane potential.
Explanation:
Graded potentials lead to temporary minor changes in the membrane potential associated with neuron’s dendrites. The amount of change caused depends upon the size and duration of the stimulus. These can be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing.
Graded depolarization occurs due to the entry of sodium or calcium ions; whereas, graded hyperpolarization occurs due to exit of potassium ions or entry of chloride ions.
When equal but opposite magnitude of graded depolarization and hyperpolarization occurs at a particular dendride of a neuron, the positive and negative charges get neutralized causing little or no effect on the total membrane potential.
The answer for this question is True
