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 :)

<span>Increased activity of merocrine sweat glands

Merocrine refers to the exocrine glands (or cells) whose secretions are excreted outside of the cell from the secretory cells, then into an epithelial-walled duct(s), and finally onto the surface of the body. Merocrine secretions from the sweat glands are specifically called eccrine. 

Sweat glands are structures of the skin that produce sweat in order to cool the body upon evaporation of the sweat. As a person grows older, his sweat glands become less active. This could impair perspiration or sweating, and increases the risks of overheating in the elderly. </span>

Can someone plz help me? ;(
just olya [345]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

D in my opinion wouldn't be correct because a vaccine is for if you come in contact with the sickness you are more protected and helps build immunity. So healthy people get them to try and build immunity against said vaccine. Like if you have the flu, your body is fighting. In the Flu vaccine parts of the flu are in the vaccine to help your body learn to become immune. So option C.

Sorry if this is confusing, hope it helps!
