A stable pond ecosystem will not contain more consumers than producers.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
An ecosystem contains producers , consumers and decomposers in an equal amount. If either of this is more than that of the other , the dominant species will totally destroy the less number of species causing an imbalance in the whole system.
For example, the consumers are more than that of the producers then the number of producers will diminish rapidly causing a scarcity of food and leads to instability of the entire system. So a stable pond “ecosystem” would not contain more consumers than producers.
The answer is B. A dependent variable is one that varies according to the modulated independent variable. In this case, the independent variable is A -‘The amount of Drug x given to the mice’ since it is the one that is being controlled in the experiment.
