Algae and Cyanobacteria could mean life is flourishing and is a good food source for some fish in moderation- but if there's a lot of fertilizer runoff, they can grow too quickly and be counterproductive for the environment
Plankton is at the bottom of a food chain. Think of a pond. Mosquito larvae are in a pond. They eat the plankton. Small fish eat the larvae. Larger fish eat those smaller fish and the chain keeps going..BUTTT it all started with the PLANKTON. Without the plankton the whole food chain would be messed up and everything would start dying.. No plankton, no larvae, no small fish..and so on..
The capsid surrounds the virus and is composed of a finite number of protein subunits known as capsomeres, which usually associate with, or are found close to, the virion nucleic acid
Answer:
there will have to be something to produce all the food so that other animals can eat
Explanation:
the consumers are important as when they eat they can have a high possibility to not starve to death as they have competition and can reproduce and then there is a possibility that that animal species may not become extinct
also when u eat u decompose so they are inportant as they decompose
as when they decompose they lay fertilisers for the soil in the floor so that other plants can grow amd flourish so the cycle can continue
None of the provided options are reasonable. <span>comparing nutrient concentrations between the photic zone and the benthic zone can not tell you whether differences in concentrations between the photic and benthic zone are due to uptake by phytoplankton or because nutrients are sinking to the sea bottom and ocean stratification is preventing mixing. The approach of c</span><span>ontrasting nutrient uptake by autotrophs at different locations under different temperatures would not provide useful information on limiting nutrients. but rather uptake rates at different temperatures. It is likely that e</span>xperimentally enriching some areas of the ocean and compare their productivity to that of untreated areas can provide an indication of limiting nutrients, but this is not advisable, as it would have to be done on a large scale, and one cannot be sure of the ecological consequences. Also, because it would not be a controlled experiment, other factors could create 'noise' in the data. The last option, <span>observe antarctic ocean productivity from year to year to see if it changes, also does not help, as there is no correlation between nutrient concentrations using this approach. The best approaches would be either the last approach, but with the additional monitoring of nutrient concentrations, or under a controlled laboratory experiment.</span>
