This zone has the greatest concentration of plankton in a freash water lake ecosystems

According to an article/websites, the link stated below, plankton dominates the "limnetic" zone of freshwater ecosystems, which make sense since this is the topmost layer. This is the zone that receives the most sunlight, thus the plants can photosynthesize better than those at the lower levels. Plankton will rarely be found in the lowest zone as there is little to no sunlight there. The lower in the lake/freshwater ecosystem you go, the less plankton you'll find because of their lack of ability to photosynthesize. You can refer to the website below and other books/websites like it for more in-depth information on plankton and their role in freshwater ecosystems. Hope this helps.

What are the two supporting evidence of seafloor spreading theory?

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Several types of evidence supported Hess's theory of sea-floor spreading: eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves. This evidence led scientists to look again at Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.

Why is it useful for an ecologist to identify the keystone species of an ecosystem?

In humans, the antibiotic amoxicillin (a type of penicillin) is used to treat certain bacterial infections. Complete the sentenc

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Amoxicillin inhibits an enzyme required to build cell walls in bacteria.

Since humans have cell membranes, they are unaffected by amoxicillin.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are specifically designed to target bacterial cells, therefore, they don't kill human cells.

Amoxicillin, a type of penicillin, inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall. The bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycan that constitutes almost 95% of the cell wall in some Gram positive bacteria and as little as 5-10% of the cell wall in Gram negative bacteria. Amoxicillin inhibits the cross linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up a major component of the cell walls of both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
