Krill in this food web is the primary consumer. Since the producer of the food web is the phytoplankton. Removing them from the food chain cuts the supply of food for secondary consumers such as seals, and whales. This disrupts the whole Antartic ecosystem since there will be a large amount of phytoplankton but not enough food for secondary consumers. This because secondary consumers are not able to eat phytoplankton due to their microscopic size. Only krill are able to feed on them and have the maximum energy gain from them.
Answer:
Explanation:Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems. Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways. For instance, warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival.
Answer: Metabolic alkalosis
Explanation: Metabolic alkalosis refers to a metabolic condition in which the tissue’s pH is increased above the normal range (7.35–7.45). This occurs as a result of decrease in the concentration of Hydrogen ion, which results to increased bicarbonate in the body system. It can also be caused by direct increase in the bicarbonate concentrations.
Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds. Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
Germ-line mutations are mutations that would be passed down to future generations, and recombinations are where the information each parent passes down to the offspring is shuffled.
The genetic variation would have to come from random events: False
Only alternate generations would express any genetic variable: False
Body cell mutations would be the only source of heritable genetic variation: False
There would be no new heritable genetic variation possible in the population: True
