Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to Coral reefs, consider the following statements;
1. Coral bleaching takes place when the water is too warm
2. Bleached corals are not dead, but run the risk of starvation and disease.
3. Corals experience thermal stress when sea surface temperatures exceed 10 degree celsius above the maximum mean temperature.
How many of the statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
(b) Only one
(Statement 1 and 2 are correct)
Coral bleaching takes place when the water is too warm. In such conditions, corals expel the microscopic algae which live in their tissues, and, in simple terms, produce food for them.
Without these algae, corals’ tissues become transparent, exposing their white skeleton. This is called coral bleaching. Bleached corals are not dead, but run the risk of starvation and disease. According to experts, without their algae, corals can survive for about two weeks.
Corals experience thermal stress when sea surface temperatures exceed 1 degree celsius above the maximum mean temperature. This stress worsens if the high temperatures persist over a period of time. (Statement 3 is incorrect)

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements
1. Sessile animals are organisms that are unable to move around and are usually permanently attached to a solid surface.
2. Some sessile organisms are deposit feeders that eat detritus, herbivores that eat algae, and carnivores that eat other animals.
3. Sessile animals can reproduce asexually in place through budding.
How many of the statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
c) All three
Sessile animals are organisms that are anchored to a substrate and cannot move freely. Some examples of sessile animals include:
Sponges, Corals, Anemones, Hydra, Barnacles, Tunicates, Mussels, and Coral polyps.
Sessile animals have an advantageous lifestyle because they don’t need to use a lot of energy to move through water to find food. Many sessile organisms are filter feeders that eat plankton and other suspended material. Others are deposit feeders that eat detritus, herbivores that eat algae, and carnivores that eat other animals.
Sessile animals can reproduce asexually in place through budding. However, organisms like barnacles and tunicates need a way to move their young to new areas. One theory for the evolution of a larval stage is that it allows for long-distance dispersal.

Correct
a) Cameroon
Congo basin, basin of the Congo River, lying astride the Equator in west-central Africa. It is the world’s second-largest river basin (next to that of the Amazon), comprising an area of more than 1.3 million square miles (3.4 million square km). The vast drainage area of the Congo River includes almost the whole of the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, western Zambia, northern Angola, and parts of Cameroon and Tanzania.
