Which type of reef forms parallel to the shoreline but is separated from an island by a lagoon?
baherus [9]
<span>This would be fringing reefs. These reef systems grow near to the coastline as well as around islands and large continents. They are generally separated from the shore via shallow lagoons. They are the most common type of reef system on the planet. They are similar to Barrier reefs which also grow parallel to coastlines, but barrier systems are separated by deeper and much wider lagoons.</span>

Explain why it is important for dying cells to be properly removed
victus00 [196]
Cells within the body are properly arranged and their production uses up resources of the body. For example, red blood cells use iron while being produced. The body must dispose of cell properly to maintain the orderly arrangement of cells; for example, if dead skin cells were not removed, we would lose feeling in our skin due to the layer of dead cells. Moreover, the body must work to minimize wastage. This is why some of the iron from red blood cells is removed and reused.
