2. DIET & HABITAT: Worms live on reefs, beneath stones in rocky or sea grass areas. Feed on soft and hard corals, anemones, and small crustaceans

5. FUN FACT: Fireworms use bioluminescence to attract suitors in an undersea mating ritual.

they are useful for humans?

I noticed that Vertebrates also have complex organ systems. I wondered if they have kidneys?

I learned Fertilization is generally external, and most fish are oviparous. I wondered how gametes are realesed?

I noticed The more water we use, the more likely we are to overdraft aquifers and pollute water supplies. I wonder what concepts are similar to virtual water?

I wonder if different types of clean energy can be developed for different locations?

I wonder if most scientists today agree that fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and agriculture contribute to greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect?
