We have already lost some 80 percent of the coral reefs in the Caribbean over the last three decades, and losses in the Pacific Ocean are also widespread. Reefs are like cities, with some parts growing and some parts being destroyed.
When the net growth is positive reefs can persist. Amazingly. coral reefs are threatened by such atmospheric
conditions as
-)
A)
the growing hole in the ozone
B)
carbon dioxide emissions and global warming
C)
increases in UV radiation and the amount of reflected light.
D
increased particulate matter resulting in decreased UV rays.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c

the answer is: trichonympha lives in the gut of termites and digests cellulose eaten by the termite.

this is an example of a symbiotic association of a protozoan with its mode of association.
