When pollution occurs on land it travels to the waters which causes the pollutants to enter the water. When pollution enters the water, it damages the algae on the coral. It also lowers water quality, smother the coral reefs, and it speeds the growth of the damaging algae. All these make the coral reefs more susceptible to disease which stops the reefs growth and reproduction.

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.

The large number of alveoli in lungs improve diffusion by ____.
nekit [7.7K]

Explanation:

When the air is inhaled through the nostrils, the air containing the oxygen the air diffuses inside the alveoli. The alveoli are the tiny sacs where air enters and exchange of gases takes place. From the alveoli the oxygen enters into the blood stream. The oxygen is utilized by the cells for respiration. The increase in network and number of the alveoli will increase the surface area for the diffusion of oxygen and hence, will speed up the respiration process.
