An ecosystem experiences a rapid increase in the algae population as a result of lawn fertilizer entering the system through sto
rm drains. The food chain below is part of the ecosystem. AlgaeMinnowsSalmonBear As the algae population begins to grow, what will happen to the minnow population? A. It will soon start to grow. B. It will be unaffected by the change. C. It will first decline, then grow. D. It will soon start to decline.
The correct option is <u>A. It will soon start to grow.</u>
Explanation:
In biological terms, a food chain can be described as a linear representation of energy flow in an ecosystem. It usually starts with the producers and then represents a chain until the decomposers.
A change in any of the species population of the food chain can affect the food chain widely. For example, in the question above, <em>as the population of algae increases, the population of minnows will also increase. This is because there will be more supply of food for the minnows.</em>
sepals protect inner floral leaves in bud stage of the flower, carry out photosynthesis, attract animal pollinators when petaloid (have same color with petals eg in pride of barbados)
The characteristic that is used to categorize a different kind of animal-like protists is their method of digesting food.Animal-like protists are commonly known as protozoa.
Like animals, they can move, and they eat things outside of themselves instead
of producing their own food.
