Increases. With more food available for the secondary consumers, theres less competition for food. This means the secondary consumers can breed successfully with high chance of offspring survival
4. Large, circular lily pads are able to float on the water's surface.
Answer: cohesion
Cohesion mean that water attracted to another water. This force will make the water to form a surface tension in the lake. Water lily has a wide and thin leaf which makes it giving a low force per area. If the force applied on the surface is not bigger than surface tension, the leaf will stay float above the water. Surface tension also the reason water spider could walk on water.
5. The temperature of the water is about 5°C, while the temperature of the air is about 21°C.
Answer: heat capacity
Water has high heat capacity. High heat capacity mean that the water will not be easily become cold or hot. It will need more energy to increase/decrease the temperature of the water. This is why the water could keep its temperature much lower than the atmosphere. This will protect the organism inside the water from an extreme temperature change.
Answer:
There is no data to show but there would definitely be a decrease in the population of the other organisms in lower trophic level (sea otter).
Explanation:
This question involves an aquatic food chain involving organisms like clams, sea stars, sea otters, and sharks. In this question, the shark appears to occupy the highest trophic level i.e. tertiary consumer. Ideally, as the food chain progresses from the lowest to highest trophic level, the population of each organism decreases.
However, an increase in the population of sharks will mean more mouths to feed on other consumers. Hence, causing a decrease in the population of other organisms in lower trophic level especially the organism that occupies the secondary consumer trophic level.
