Answer:

The feeding strategy employed by the predatory tunicate is known as; Filter Feeding

Explanation:

The image of the predatory tunicate is attached to this answer

Feeding in the aquatic environment is not as simple as it is in the terrestrial, because the food and the water are of equal density, so an attempt to close the mouth at the food will push both the water and the food away, so one mechanism that aquatic animals have adopted in feeding is known as suspension feeding. Suspension feeding is a feeding mechanism in aquatic environment where animals engulf suspended food particles in water and uses associated mechanisms to strain out the food, and filter feeding is a sub-type of suspension feeding.

Filter feeding is a mechanism where organisms isolate food suspension particles from water, by passing the water through specialized filtering structures. Some animals such as; Krill, Clams, Sponges, certain fishes and even Flamingos have this kind of feeding method.

In this method of feeding by the predatory tunicate, it opens its large mouth to create a negative pressure in its mouth, which directs water current towards its mouth, hence carrying suspensions with it, after the food particle has entered its mouth, it closes its mouth to trap the food particle and this closure of mouth forces water through an outlet that is designed not to let the larger food particles to pass out, but allowing water to move out.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the question is asking to identify variables such as the DV, IV, Constants etc

Independent variable (IV): Type of flowers

Dependent variable (DV): Growth of flowers

Constants: the same amount of sunlight, same amount of water

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that an experimeter changes or manipulates deliberately in order to bring about an effect in another variable. In this experiment, the TYPE OF FLOWER on each soil is changed by Alex, hence, it is the independent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable that is being measured in the experiment. It is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In this case, the dependent variable is the GROWTH OF THE FLOWERS measured.

Constansts or control variable is the variable that the experimenter keeps constant or unchanged throughout the experiment in order to maintain the outcome of the experiment. In this case, the constants are the same amount of light, same amount of water

Karolina [17]
Potential Energy Diagrams. The energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction can be shown in a diagram called a potential energy diagram, or sometimes called a reaction progress curve. A potential energy diagram shows the change in potential energy of a system as reactants are converted into products
