Coral reefs have existed on this planet for approximately 450 million years. They provide an extremely diverse marine ecosystem. (Bellwood and Wainwirght2002) Coral reefs are the largest natural structures in the world and occur in over 100 countries. They are the result of a remarkable relationship between coral animals and microscopic algae. The microscopic algae (zooxanthellae) coverts sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen (photosynthesis) and carbohydrates for the coral animals (polyps)

1. Animals with radial symmetry function differently than animals with bilateral symmetry. Unlike animals with bilateral symmetry‚ these organisms use their appendages‚ usually tentacles‚ to bring in food to its mouth‚ which is located at its center. Also‚ animals with radial symmetry have less complicated systems than animals with bilateral symmetry. The radial symmetry body plan involves appendages radiating out from the center of the organism‚ this means that most systems are not included in these

Introduction: Mangroves and tidal swamps exist in middle of the road zones between earthbound ranges and oceanic regions. Accordingly‚ they spread along coasts and estuaries (Chmura G. L. (N. D). Mangroves are known for their remarkable natural surroundings‚ as they live in particular conditions where no different sorts of plants can endure as they confront the power of tides alongside the elevated amounts of saltiness (Environment Agency (2014)). In addition‚ the dirt in which they develop is generally
