The relationship between the hermit crabs and the snails is A.commensalism
Why? Commensalism refers to a relationship where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. In this case, the hermit crab benefits from the snails, via the latter's discarded shells. The crab's use of the snails' shells has no impact on the snails.
Phytoplankton - zooplankton- small fish -mammal
This is the food chain of the organisms.
From phytoplankton,which are microorganism, they are eaten by zooplankton. Zooplankton are heterotrophic planktons such as jellyfish and forams. Next to this is small fish, they eat those zooplankton. Lastly, the mammals will eat those fish.
The inflammatory response occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria,trauma,toxins,heat,or any other cause.The damaged cells release chemicals including histamine, bradykinin,and prostaglandins. These chemical cause blood vessels to leak fluid into the tissues, causing swelling

Answer: The bacteria transformed with this particular plasmid will form white colonies on the plates containing ampicillin and Xgal.
Explanation: The lacZ gene produces an enzyme called β-galactosidase which is responsible for the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose. The lacZ gene is one of the three genes (the other two being lacA and lacY) of the lac operon which is responsible for the transport and mechanism of lactose in E. coli and many other bacteria.
In recombinant DNA technology, when a plasmid is to be used to transform a host cell, such markers are used to help screen the transformed cells from the ones that have not taken up the plasmid. Xgal present in the plates is an artificial substrate which is hydrolyzed by
β-galactosidase into 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl which will dimerize and oxidise into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'dichloro-indigo. This is a blue pigment which will give blue color to the bacterial cells. Introducing a DNA fragment in this lacZ gene will make it non-functional so it will not be able to produce the enzyme.
Therefore, when a bacterial cell is transformed with a plasmid containing ampicillin resistance gene and a DNA fragment introduced in the lacZ gene and then grown on plates containing ampicillin and Xgal, white colored colonies will appear. The white colonies will show the bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid with the DNA fragment incorporated in the lacZ gene as this will render the gene non-functional and will not produce β-galactosidase which will breakdown Xgal to give blue colonies. Since the plates contain ampicillin, only the bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with the plasmid ( the ones that have the DNA fragment and the ones without it) will grow as the ampicillin resistance will give them resistance against ampicillin in the plates. The bacterial cells that have not taken up the plasmid will not be resistant to ampicillin and will not form colonies on the plate.
This is called blue-white screening which is used to identify successfully transformed host cells. A picture of this is given in the attachment, taken from the following website:

Answer option:
1. duplicate themselves
2. convert energy
3. selectively exchange materials
4. all of the above
Answer:
4. all of the above
Explanation:
Cells carry out many functions. They are able to replicate their DNA and divide into two identical daughter cells in order to proliferate.
They can convert glucose into cellular energy (ATP) through respiration in the mitochondria
They can exchange materials with the outside environment via the selectively permeable cell membrane, endocytosis and exocytosis and active transport via membrane proteins.
Therefore, all of the above is correct.
