Why does diuron cause coral to bleach

Biology
1 answer:
erica [24]3 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 :)

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

Fisher was found lying on his back. Is it likely that his body was moved after death? Why or why not?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Is it likely that his body was moved after death? The answer is NO

Why or why not?

This is due to postmortem staining seen on his back which would have been observed on other parts of the body if the body was moved after death

Explanation:

Livor mortis: is the stage where the heart stops pumping blood through the circulatory system causing blood accumulation at the lowest point of the body. It's also called postmortem stain.

It helps in judging the time of death for a body, the location and position of the body if it's at the spot.

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
