These are fossils of a fish (vagrant pelagic vertebrate; sample a), and a coral (sessile benthic cnidarian; sample b). in genera

l, which would be more useful in paleobathymetry (estimation of past water depth), and why?

The coral fossil would be a better estimate of past water depth. This is because most corals inhabit shallow water reefs, less than 150 feet deep. In contrast, pelagic fish may inhabit any open water (pelagic) part of the ocean, with depths ranging anywhere from a couple of hundred feet deep to miles in depth.

In an ecosystem, can there be more carnivores than herbivores ?
vodka [1.7K]
There can but it will not last long. There are probably more carnivores because they were taking advantage of the supply of herbivores and now they will start to die off. So I guess my answer is no, not normally and not for a long time.

Why might a scientist want to disrupt the plasma membrane and how might they do this experimentally?
kupik [55]

It is possible to disrupt the plasma membrane by using enzymes and/or detergent agents.

<h3>What is the plasma membrane?</h3>

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer that is mainly composed of phospholipids and cholesterol.

In laboratory conditions, it is possible to disrupt this lipid bilayer by using detergent and proteins (enzymes) that break the bonds binding phospholipids.

For example, enzymes can break down the double bonds that bind fatty acids in the lipid bilayer.

In conclusion, the plasma membrane can be break down by applying enzymes and detergents.

Why do you think invasive species are more of a problem in human altered biomes (anthromes) than they are in a biome that has no
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

invasive species are a problem both in anthropogenically altered and natural environments

Explanation:

An invasive species can be defined as a non-native species introduced into a new environment which then becomes abundant. Only in the US, it is believed that there are approximately 4,000 invasive species (some examples include the feral pigs, grey squirrels, European rabbits, etc.). In general, invasive species have a negative impact on the ecosystem, especially by displacing native species and thereby altering the trophic chain. In anthropogenically altered environments (anthromes), human beings are considered to be an invasive species.
