Document Summary
The salinity is pretty much consistently the same and the ion ratios and. Coral reefs are the most species diverse ecosystem in the planet, but their diversity is declining due to coral bleaching and increasing acidity. Coral bleaching is the loss of intracellular endosymbionts through expulsion. Increasing co2 absorbed by seawater, reducing ph risk to calcifying species (shells, coral) entire food web at risk dehydrate faster. Osmolarity is the concentration of a solution expressed as the total number of solute particles per litre. Water inside of us is in 3 fluid compartments and makes up 60% of our body mass, the remaining 40% is protein, lipid, bone, etc. Compartments: intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid and blood plasma (extracellular) In 70 kg man, 30 will be intracellular and extracellular fluids make up the remaining of algal pigmentation due to warmer temps or pollution coral loses its food.
