What are the influences of human activity on ecosystem?
we take animals homes away and build new things such as houses or buildings so the animals or living things will have no place to live.
I are a small animal i stay in one place forever and form a magnificient reef i am a?
You are a coral polyp. Corals are tiny animals that build large reef structures over time through the accumulation of calcium carbonate skeletons. They remain in one place for their entire lives, contributing to the formation of diverse and vital underwater ecosystems.
What is the protective outer shell of coral animals made of?
No corals have a protective outer shell like a snail or clam, they actually have an inner skeleton, or endoskeleton. It is almost always composed of CaCO2, in English that's calcium carbonate. Snail and clam shells on the other hand are made of calcite or calcium carbonate mixed with calcium phosphate.
What does the Great Barrier Reef look like?
The Great Barrier Reef was formed by nature, with hundreds of years of living coral building upon the skeletons of other coral. The corals that build reefs are not single animals. Coral is made up of colonies comprised of many individual animals called polyps, which join together. Coral polyps are a little like sea anemones, having tentacles that extend outwards, but they are not actually anemones. Corals which create coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae. This algae, which lives within the tissues of the coral, causes a photosynthetic reaction which enables the polyps to make skeletons about three times faster in the light than in the dark. This means the corals deposit skeletons faster than the environment can remove it, and these skeletons build upon each other over time, creating a coral reef.
Can you eat coral?
Coral is very hard and does not contain much food value. Humans cannot process the stone hard shell of the coral and the food value of the small animals in it is too small to make it worthwhile crushing it to get it.
What did the starfish use to build their houses?
The seastars don't have houses they live on the coral.
What does coral reefs have in them?
Coral reefs are made up of coral, the shell-like structures that the tiny sea animals build as their "houses". Each year, a living coral reef builds a new layer of coral; you might think of it as the collected skeletons of all the previous inhabitants of the reef. (Except that for coral, their "bones" are on the outside.)
How do stony coral build coral reefs?
When coral animals die their skeletons remain. More corals build on top of them, gradually forming a coral reef
Where do coral animals live?
Coral animals live in coral in the ocean.
What is the basic structure of the coral animal?
Coral polyps are tiny animals that build protective calcium carbonate skeletons around themselves. Coral polyps create the basic structure of coral reefs with the help of single-celled algae.
Can seahorses live in a aquarium at home?
Seahorses don't build there houses they would live in coral rocks and many more to hide from there predators.
Is coral flora or fauna?
Coral is considered fauna because it is made up of living animals known as coral polyps. Coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to build coral reefs, which provide habitats for a diverse range of marine life.
What animals make coral reefs?
No animals actually make coral, but coral is build up of millions of small organisms called polips. Pollution and oil kill pollips, and it takes million of years for there to be enough polips put together to form a coral reef
When coral animals die do their skeletons fall to the sea floor?
When coral animals die their skeletons do indeed fall to the sea floor. This is the only place where they can go.
How do zooxanthellae help build coral reefs?
they help build coral reefs by speading their waist along the sealine to help build coral reefs.
Are dolphins coral reef animals?
No they are not coral reef animals
Are coral animals plants or mineral?
Coral are very small animals that build a home out of calcium carbonate, so it is an animal that lives inside a mineral shell.
