Which of the following biomes has a structure made up primarily of the mineral deposits secreted by its dominant organisms? a. coral reefs; b. freshwater lakes; c. rivers; d. estuaries; e. oceans

Video transcript

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem so that coral reef by OEM the type of bio made by blank. The process produced by blank. Remember the coral reef bio is found in the sea. So now we notice let's jump ahead and start solving the problem. Beginning by answer choice A We have that the coral reef bio mom is the type of bio made by carbon. The process produced by trees, there's really no trees in the ocean. So we're going to cancel this out. We don't have option C mineral and Aggie. So called biometric type of bio made by mineral deposits produced by Augie. This kind of makes sense. However, Augie do not produce mineral deposits that are photosynthetic. So they produce, they undergo photosynthesis. This process does not really produce minerals or mineral deposits. So we're going to cancel this out as well. Then we have nutrient and fishes So called We bio metal type of bio made by nutrient deposits produced by fishes, fishes are not producers features are consumers so they're not going to produce this nutrient deposits. And we're going to cancel this out. This all leaves us with answer choice B mineral and coral polyps. So the coral reef bio miz the type of bio mom made by mineral deposits produced by coral polyps. And if you know anything about coral reefs, they're actually produced by these mineral deposits. And this mineral is called costume carbonate. And this calls you in carbonate is stacked in layers to produce the coral reefs that we see in the ocean. This process is actually undergone or just performed by these organisms, called coral polyps. So this answer choice is going to be completely correct, and we're going to highlight it as being the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you, and I hope to see you on the next one.
