In their latest paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, Prof. Philip Munday and colleagues report world-first evidence that high CO2 levels in sea water disrupts a key brain receptor in fish, causing marked changes in their behavior and sensory ability. They began by studying how baby clown and damsel fishes performed alongside their predators in CO2 enriched water. They found that, while the predators were somewhat affected, the baby fish suffered much higher rates of attrition. Our early work showed that the sense of smell of baby fish was harmed by higher CO2 in the water, meaning they found it harder to locate a reef to settle on or detect the warning smell of a predator fish. But we suspected there was much more to it than the loss of ability to smell, says Prof.Munday. The team then examined whether fishes sense of hearing which is used to locate and home in on reefs at night, and avoid them during the day was affected. The answer is, yes it was. They were confused and no longer avoided reef sounds during the day. Being attracted to reefs during the daylight would make them easy meat for predators. Other work showed the fish also tended to lose their natural instinct to turn left or right which is an important factor in schooling behaviour which also makes them more vulnerable, as lone fish are easily eaten by predators. Prof. Munday further explains, All this led us to suspect wasnt simply damage to their individual senses that was going on but rather, that higher levels of carbon dioxide were affecting their whole central nervous system. 31.

The American Cancer Society and American Institute for Cancer Research recommended eating 5 or more serving of variety of vegetables and fruits each day to ensure that your cancer risk is as low as it can be. The United States Departement of Agriculture (USDA) 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended 9 servings of fruit and vegetables each day.

Passage B No one kind food or diet can ensure your immunity from cancer, but a simple change in your eating habits can reduce the the risk of cancer an can help you live longer if you have cancer. Some foods, in fact, fight cancer by preventing formation of cancercausing carcinogens and by keeping them from reaching crusial body sites. Other foods keep cells that have been exposed to cancer-causing agents from turning malignant.still other help heal malignant ares in the body. The first step in waging your own personal war against cancer is to choose a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat, one that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. The National Cancer Institute suggests that Americans eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day and 6 to 11 serving of grains. 41. The topic discussed in both passages is the...
