Cephalopoda
Explanation:
Cephalopods are commonly known as inkfishes.
But cephalopods are not at all fishes. They are molluscs.
They belong to Class Cephalopoda of phylum Mollusca.
Like other molluscs, these are also soft bodied, but have a series of tentacles that actually developed from theprimitive foot.
Cephalopods have a well developed nervous system and have large bulging eyes.
Examples of cephalopods are, octopus, giant squid etc.
Considering all the above characteristics, we can conclude that the predator stated in the question is most likely to belong to the clade cephalopoda.

The EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) agar is a selective and differential agar medium. It contains sucrose and lactose as fermentable substrates together with Eosin Y and methylene blue dyes which in combination gives the agar its characteristic color when prepared and serves as a pH indicator as well as an inhibitor of growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Hence, it is primarily used to isolate Gram-negative fecal coliforms while some positive fecal coliforms such as Staphylococci are also able to grow.
These coliforms are of two types:
- Lactose or sucrose fermenting coliforms form metallic sheens on the agar as a result of acid production and the response of the indicator to the increased acidity.
- Non-lactose/sucrose fermenters are only able to produce acid by protein deamination. Hence they either form colorless or pinkish colonies on the agar
On the other hand, Mannitol salt agar is a selective and differential agar medium that is primarily used to isolate Staphylococcal bacteria. The presence of sodium chloride in the medium makes it a partial or complete inhibitor of other bacteria.
Hence, an unknown bacterium that forms colorless colonies on EMB will either be a non-lactose fermenting, Gram-negative coliform that will hardly grow on Mannitol salt agar, or a Gram-positive fecal Staphylococcus.
Staphylococci bacteria are of two types:
- Coagulase-positive will form yellow colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.
- Coagulase-negative will form red colonies on the Mannitol salt agar.

Answer:
The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
Chemical energy is the energy that every substance or chemical have and its not affected by the presence or absence of the enzyme, while the activation energy is the required energy to initiate for a chemical reaction. If the energy of the chemical reaction is less than the activation energy reaction will not take place.
Presence of a enzyme lowers the amount of the energy for the initiating the reaction which is activation energy and the chemical reaction takes place.
Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
