The correct answer is - A. The population of predators could increase.

If in a particular food web a new prey animals are introduced, that will most likely result in the increase of the populations of the predators in that food web. The reason why the populations of the predators would increase is that there will be more pray to hunt, and more food means that the predators can increase in numbers and not suffer from food shortage.

Still, while this the most likely scenario, it has to be taken with a little bit of reserve, as it also depends on what kind of prey animal would be introduced in the food web, and what kind of predators are there in the food web. If lets say a prey animal that is large is introduced, like the buffalo, and the predators in that food web are small to medium sized predators like the genette, caracal, serval, honey badger, than there will be no increase in the predator populations as they will not be able to hunt the introduced pray animal.

Macromolecules and Carbohydrates
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:The large molecules necessary for life that are built from smaller organic molecules are called biological macromolecules. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and each is an important component of the cell and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements.

Carbon

It is often said that life is “carbon-based.” This means that carbon atoms, bonded to other carbon atoms or other elements, form the fundamental components of many, if not most, of the molecules found uniquely in living things. Other elements play important roles in biological molecules, but carbon certainly qualifies as the “foundation” element for molecules in living things. It is the bonding properties of carbon atoms that are responsible for its important role
