Answer AND Explanation:

Predation and parasitism both involve one organism benefiting at the expense of the other. The difference is that predation is when the organism gets captured and eaten while parasitism is when the host gets harmed by the parasite.

Predation involves killing of the prey while parasitism does not necessarily involve killing since the parasite can live temporarily or permanently in the host or on the host.

Answer:

A. Average plant height increases with an increase in the concentration of sodium phosphate until the plants reach a maximum possible height.

Explanation:

The graph in the attachment section portrays the average height of plants (cm) on the y-axis plotted against the concentration of sodium phoshate (mg/L) on the x-axis. Based on the observation of the result in the graph, an increase in the concentration of phosphate caused an increase in the average plant height (as depicted by the upward-sloping line).

However, the plant's average height didn't go beyond 35cm despite an increase in concentration of phosphate. This is because the plants has reached a maximum possible height i.e. a height climax. Hence, they cannot grow taller than 35cm no matter the amount of external nutrients (sodium phosphate) supplied.

Therefore, the noticeable trend that can be used to make a conclusion is that average plant height increases with an increase in the concentration of sodium phosphate until the plants reach a maximum possible height.
