The benthic organisms are known to get benefited from the presence of the zebra mussels.

Hence, the correct answer is benefit from the presence of zebra mussels.

The zebra mussels gets colonised and increase the complexity of the substartes.  the faeces and the pseudofaeces released by the zebra mussels act as a food resource for many macroinvertebrates, including the benthic organism.

The zebra mussels feeds on phytoplanktons and increase the water clarity, it also changes the nutrient content, which provide an additional advantage for the survival of the benthic organisms.

Answer:

Are found at greater depths

Explanation:

  • The zebra mussel is a small freshwater animal that is native to the lakes however has been introduced as an invasive species in many parts of the world. As being an invasive species, they can survive in low temperatures and the cost of managing these native species exceeds $500 million a year.
  • They tend to accumulate as pollutants and spread toxins hence result in the sabotage of species ecosystem balances. Thus due to the presence of these species in the waters, the surface gets covered and hence the sunlight gets obstructed and leading to the formation of blockages
  • These species tend to accumulate like the various nutrient particles and then they combine with the algae and these also are a result of the depth of water, temperature, and salinity.

adell [148]

As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.

Answer:

Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.

The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral  food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.

If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.

There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.

Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.

What is the Major difference between the position of producers and primary consumers in the food chain.
dangina [55]

Producers can make their own food by capturing the sun's energy, but consumers don't. Consumers need to eat other organisms to obtain energy.
