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 :)

A protein is 300 amino acids long. Which of the following could be the number of nucleotides in a bacterial gene that codes for
butalik [34]

  • Each three-letter "word" which is the combination of nucleotides is called a codon.
  • Therefore, amino acids are coded by a series of three-letter "words" - a 300 nucleotide mRNA will code for a 100 amino acid protein.

How do archaea and bacteria differ?​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The archaea and the bacteria both are prokaryotes. However, the genetic makeup of the archaea is more similar to the eukaryotes. Moreover, they have differences, in their metabolic pathways, genes and the enzymes possessed by them.

Explanation:

The differences between Archaea and bacteria:

1. The cell wall of the bacteria consist of peptidoglycan, while the cell wall of the archaea consist of pseudo-peptidoglycan.

2. The bacteria are capable of spore formation, which can lie dormant for long periods of time until a suitable condition is found for their growth. The archaea are not known to form such spores.

3. The genes of the archaea are more similar to the eukaryotes than the bacteria.

4. The bacteria are found everywhere where the living conditions are suitable (soil, air, living beings, non-living things). the archaea are capable of surviving in extreme conditions (hot springs, salt brine).

5. The bacteria use the process of glycolysis and follows Kreb's cycle for glucose break-down. The archaea do not undergo glycolysis or Kreb's cycle.
