Answer:
Zooplankton - Animals (mostly microscopic) which drift freely in the water column.
Explanation: Zooplankton, small floating or weakly swimming organisms that drift with water currents and, with phytoplankton, make up the planktonic food supply upon which almost all oceanic organisms are ultimately dependent.

Answer :B. By changing the shape of the enzyme's active site.
check the attachment
Explanation: This is a type of inhibition , in which a molecule binds to another part of the enzyme instead of the active site.
On binding, it disrupts the normal hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions holding the enzyme molecule in its three dimensional shape, therefore distorting the conformation and ACTIVE SITE of the enzyme (changed it shape).
Since the active site is the precise location enzyme must bind with substrates for enzymatic reactions,this makes the enzyme not fit for binding with the substrate, therefore the efficiency is reduced. No substrate-enzyme complex, and hence no substrate-product complex for the release of products, this brings down the turnover rate and eventually
<u>the rate of reaction of the enzyme</u>
Thus, the enzyme function is totally blocked, even in high concentration of the substrate,
Organisms are the biotic parts of an ecosystem.
Answer:
The answer is:
B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.
Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).
Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).
Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).
The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Sexual reproduction:
Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.
Cons: requires more time and energy.
Asexual reproduction:
Pros: Does not require finding a mate.
Cons: Produce less genetic variation.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.
Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.
Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.
Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.
Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.
Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
