How do coral reefs help with climate stability?

The coral reefs help with climate stability because they serve as homes for species that build exoskeletons from carbon.

Carbon in the form of carbon dioxide has been reported to be a major factor in the climate instability of the planet. This is because they are parts of the greenhouse gases that form a blanket layer over the atmosphere and prevent reflected sun rays from escaping back to space.

Thus, greenhouse gases cause the earth's atmosphere to warm up, a phenomenon known as global warming. The warming, in turn, leads to the unpredictability of several climatic factors.

With the majority of the species living in coral reefs helping to make use of carbon dioxide to build their exoskeleton, they are helping to reduce the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere and thereby reducing warming and erratic climatic changes.

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a.Fatigue fracture

b.Stress fracture

c.Pathologic fracture

d.Greenstick fracture.

The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

A pathological fracture is one produced in a weakened bone as a result of trauma that would not cause such an effect on bones that had their composition, resistance or flexibility properties at the correct levels, that is, a pathological fracture is any loss of bone continuity that occurs in a weakened bone, secondary this weakness to the development of a disease. Endogenous osteomyelitis is a blood-borne bacterial infection that spreads to the bone.

Which convection cell in the atmosphere lies to the north of the polar jet stream

zepelin [54]

The correct answer is polar cell.

Polar cell is termed as the transport of heat to polar latitudes from tropical to be accomplished.

Examples of cells which are found in the hemisphere include ferrel cells, polar cells, and Hadley cells.

Convection cell is termed as a phenomenon which is known to occur when there is a difference of density in the body of gas or liquid.

The difference occurs when there is rising and falling of currents. Any fluid from conventional cell can be formed. For example in the earth atmosphere.

How does the large amount of DNA fit into the tiny nucleus within the microscopic cells

Stolb23 [73]

The DNA is packaged... it starts by being wrapped around special protein molecules (histones). This forms a nucleosome.
