- Coral reefs are unique, living structures. Even though they appear to be hard, rock-like structures, the soft-bodied coral animals that build the elaborate, hard, rock-like reef structures around themselves live inside. Corals are unique animals because they have photosynthetic algae that live inside their cells. This unique relationship is beneficial to the algae since it has a safe place to live inside the coral cells, and it is beneficial to the coral since the algae are producing food via photosynthesis. From the description above, what type of symbiosis is described, and at what ecological level does this relationship exist? The relationship is an example of parasitism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of mutualism, and it exists at the community level. The relationship is an example of commensalism, and it exists at the community level.

- In addition to the pigments commonly associated with photosynthesis, a certain photosynthetic species contains two additional pigment types. Which of the following best supports the claim that this species is better adapted to environmental changes than other photosynthetic species are? a) The additional pigments allow the species to outcompete other species for the wavelengths of light commonly used in photosynthesis. b) The increased pigment concentration better facilitates energy production within the cells of the species. c) The pigment combination allows the organism to absorb heat as well as light, making better use of available energy. d) The additional pigments allow the species containing them to harvest energy from wavelengths of light that the other photosynthetic species cannot use.arrow_forwardOf the two types of photosynthesis, C3 and C4, which one is more evolved?

Photosynthesis absorbs oxygen from the air, which reduces the rate of climate change. Autotrophs absorb energy from the sun to make sugars for their own use. Autotrophs absorb energy from the sun to make sugars so that heterotrophs can eat them and get energy.arrow_forwardThe basic raw materials for photosynthesis are: sugar and carbon dioxide. water and carbon dioxide. oxygen and water. sugar and water. oxygen and carbon dioxidearrow_forward
