Answer:
a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.
b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.

Answer:
a): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces and dipole-dipole interactions.
b): not necessarily due to London Dispersion Forces.
Explanation:
There are three major types of intermolecular interaction:
- Hydrogen bonding between molecules with H-O, H-N, or H-F bonds and molecules with lone pairs.
- Dipole-dipole interactions between all molecules.
- London dispersion forces between all molecules.
The melting point of a substance is a result of all three forces, combined.
Note that the more electrons in each molecule, the stronger the London Dispersion Force. Generally, that means the more atoms in each molecule, the stronger the London dispersion force. The strength of London dispersion force between large molecules can be surprisingly strong.
For example, 
(water) molecules are capable of hydrogen bonding. The melting point of at 
is around 
. That's considerably high when compared to other three-atom molecules.
In comparison, the higher alkane hexadecane (
, straight-chain) isn't capable of hydrogen bonding. However, under a similar pressure, hexadecane melts at around 
above the melting point of water. The reason is that with such a large number of atoms (and hence electrons) per molecule, the London dispersion force between hexadecane molecules could well be stronger than that the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
Similarly, the dipole moments in HCl (due to the highly-polar H-Cl bonds) are much stronger than those in hexadecane (due to the C-H bonds.) However, the boiling point of hexadecane under standard conditions is much higher (at around 
than that of HCl.
I think you want to ask the complete ionic equation and net ionic equation. For complete ionic equation: 3Ba2+ + 6Cl- + 2Al3+ + 3SO42- -->3BaSO4 + 2Al3+ + 6Cl-. For net ionic equation: 3Ba2+ + 3SO42- -->3BaSO4.
