Answer:
Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(
Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.
Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.
Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.
Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets
Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.
Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.
Answer:
An open system is a system that has external interactions. Such interactions can take the form of information, energy, or material transfers into or out of the system boundary, depending on the discipline which defines the concept
Explanation:
The correct answer is antigens and epitope.
An antigen is a substance which triggers an immune response in an organism. This can be either a foreign substance, such as a pathogen, or a specific part of the host organism (in this case this is an autoimmune response). The presence of an antigen activates a specific part of the immune system, called antibody. Each antigen has a specific antibody, which is tailored by the immune system accordingly. More specifically, the antibody has a specific structure, called paratope, which is complementary and binds like a key to a specific structure of the antigen, called epitope.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".
Explanation:
The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:
- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.
- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.
- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.
- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
haze or fog? im sorry if im wrong
