A marine ecosystem off the California coast consists of leatherback turtles that feed on jellyfish, and killer whales that prey

on the leatherback turtles. Habitat loss and fishing have been identified as the main reasons for the reduced numbers of leatherback turtles, who are on the verge of being declared an endangered species. What would be the first effect on the ecosystem if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked?

Answer:

The correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Explanation:

According to this question, habitat loss affects population of leatherback turtles so the population of the leatherback will go down and it will affect the population of killer whales because killer whales prey on leatherback turtles.  

As the population of leatherback turtles decreases the population of its prey that is jelly will grow very fast due to lack of their natural predators like leatherback turtles.

So if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked then there will be a spurt in the population of jellyfish and decrease in the population of leatherback turtles and killer whales which will disturb the balance marine ecosystem.

Therefore the correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Answer:

Show that life can only come from life (rather than spontaneous generation)

Explanation:

Pasteur boiled a broth in a flask with an S-shaped neck. Thebend in the neck prevented particles from the air reaching the broth, but still allowed air to get in.  No bacteria grew in the flask.  

When the flask neck was broken so that particles could get inside, the broth became cloudy, showing that microorganisms were only able to grow from other living things from the outside, and not spontaneously from nothing
