Why does diuron cause coral to bleach

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]2 years ago
6 0

Simple answer:

When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. ... This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead.

More in depth explanation:

Exposure to higher (100 and 1000 µg l-1) diuron concentrations for 96 h caused a reduction in ΔF/Fm¹, the ratio variable to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm), a significant loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates and pronounced tissue retraction, causing the corals to pale or bleach.

Hope this helped :)

Quade is studying for an exam, which will cover neurons and action potentials. He has drawn a diagram that shows the segments of
VMariaS [17]

Answer: positive sodium ions

Explanation:

This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.

The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.
