This symbiosis also plays a role in a coral’s resistance and resilience to bleaching, which HIMB was in a unique position to investigate — literally. The institute sits right next to the reef, enabling experiments in real time. “The reef is about 100 feet (30 meters)...
To bring clarity, the term ‘information’ is resolved into three distinct meanings: physical pattern, statistical relations and knowledge about things. In parallel, three kinds of ’causation’ are resolved: the action of physical force constrained by physical pattern (efficient cause), cybernetic (...
It is commonly assumed that a heterotrophic ancestor of the supergroup Archaeplastida/Plantae engulfed a cyanobacterium that was transformed into a primary plastid; however, it is still unclear how nuclear-encoded proteins initially were imported into the new organelle. Most proteins targeted to primar...
How does symbiosis allow multicellular eukaryotes access to nutrients they would otherwise not be able to use or make? Like animals, fungi are heterotrophs; however, their means of acquiring nutrients is quite different. Explain. a. What type of symmetry do sponges exh...
a. What are the major types of symbiosis? b. Provide an example of each type encountered in the marine environment. What are the differences between the coral reef and kelp forest ecosystems? What is marine biology? Two marine mammals that live in the same Arctic waters differ in the level...
5. Preserving the Natural Environment The Kubota Group aims to create a society where sustainable development is possible on a global scale and conducts its operations with concern for preserving the natural environment. 6. Achieving Symbiosis with International and Local Societies The Kubota Group ...
The lowdown on coral bleaching Reef-coral are actually a symbiosis (a mutually beneficial relationship) between the coral polyp, an anemone-like creature, and tiny algae called zooxanthellae. The coral provide shelter and nutrients for the algae , and in exchange the algae provide carbohydrates (...
The other kinds of effects of climate change -- this is coral bleaching. It's a beautiful picture, right. All that white coral. Except it's supposed to be brown. And what happens is that the corals are a symbiosis, and they have these little algal cells that live inside them. And th...
The insect examples touched upon in the NG article is that of the termite mound. The most famous architectural example of biomimicry or bioinspiration is the Eastgate Centre Building in Harare, Zimbabwe, which opened in 1996. Architect Mick Pearce and the firm Arup were supposedly partly inspired...
(Carmichael1992; Paerl et al.2001; Huisman et al.2006). Such blooms prevent the full use of the affected waterbody; for example, cattle cannot drink the water, recreation is prohibited, and water intake for drinking water production is hampered. Climate change may lead to an increase in ...
