Out of the following given choices;
(1) an increase in the number of clams
(2) a decrease in the number of water plants
(3) an increase in the number of crabs
(4) a decrease in the number of crayfish
The answer is D. Crayfish are are freshwater crustaceans resembling small
lobsters. Clams and crabs are found in marine waters. Most crayfish cannot

would decrease their food source thence
consequently affect their numbers.

The movement of the water is from a portion of lower concentration to a portion of higher sucrose concentration.
