Coastal Ocean!

Explanation: It’s important to remember that although the ocean produces at least 50 percent of the oxygen on Earth, roughly the same amount is consumed by marine life. Like animals on land, marine animals use oxygen to breathe, and both plants and animals use oxygen for cellular respiration. Oxygen is also consumed when dead plants and animals decay in the ocean.

This is particularly problematic when algal blooms die and the decomposition process uses oxygen faster than it can be replenished. This can create areas of extremely low oxygen concentrations, or hypoxia. These areas are often called dead zones, because the oxygen levels are too low to support most marine life.

NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science conducts extensive research and forecasting on algal blooms and hypoxia to lessen the harm done to the ocean ecosystem and human environment.

Construct an explanation to predict the type of symbiotic relationship that exists between the hippo and oxpecker birds?
Allisa [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2><em><u>The hippopotamus and the oxpecker bird are in a mutualistic and parasitic relationship. This is because the oxpecker bird gets food and protection from the hippopotamus. However, the bird gets food by making little cuts in the hippopotamus to obtain insects. This isn't entirely harmful to the hippopotamus though.</u></em></h2>
