Zebra mussels are tiny clam-like organisms that strain plankton out of the lake water. They attach to piers, boat hulls, pipes,

and any other available surface. They prefer attaching to surfaces in water that is 2 to 7 feet deep but have been found at depths of 180 feet in water temperatures ranging from 7 degrees Celsius to 32 degrees Celsius. They live mainly in freshwater with salinities (salt concentrations) of 0.21 to 1.47 parts per thousand (ppt), but they can live in estuaries with salinities up to 13.40 ppt. Given what is known about the diet of zebra mussels, which variables influence their fundamental niche?

<h2>Availability of Plankton</h2>

Explanation:

  • The term plankton comes from the Greek derivative planktos, meaning wandering. Organisms in this group spend either part or all of their life in a drifting state, with no ability to swim against a current. Most have little or no ability to swim at all. Though some are larger, most planktonic creatures are microscopic and make up the bottom of the food chain in aquatic environments
  • Plankton can be divided into two categories: phytoplankton are those organisms that are plant-like, and zooplankton are organisms that are animal-like. Interestingly enough, many planktonic species are neither plant nor animal but are creatures that belong to the kingdom Protista
  • Zebra muscles are found in water bodies which attached to pipes and other surfaces of water supply to impliment the availability of plankton

The approximate water temperature at a depth of 125 meters would be closest to: (1) 15°C (2) 8°C (3) 13°C (4) 3°C
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

(2) 8 ºC

Explanation:

The range of the temperatures from the uppermost layers of the ocean - around 100 to 150 m -, which in this case is 125 m, is not always constant as they fluctuate due to the atmospheric heating and cooling, and also due to seasonal variations.

However, if we base our answer on the table below, we would determinate that the approximate water temperature at a depth of 125 meters is 8 ºC (2). This is because, if we observe, the temperature at 100 m is 12 ºC, while at 150 m is 5 ºC. Therefore, the temperature at 125 m should be higher than 5 ºC and lower than 12 ºC, that is 8 ºC.

Concept boost mini lecture: chapter 26: understanding the differences between diploid and haploid cells a duplicated chromosome
stira [4]

The difference between diploid and haploid cells a duplicated chromosome consists of two sets of chromosomes.

The diploid cells consists of two sets of chromosomes whereas the haploid cells consists of one set of chromosomes. The haploid cells are formed by the process of meiosis and the diploid cell formed by the process of mitosis.

In the higher organism, such as human the gametes are haploid and beside their all cells are diploid. The diploid cell when reproduce or increase their number through mitosis they form identical copy of its chromosomes.

The examples of diploid cells are nerve cell, bone cell, etc. And the examples of haploid cell includes gametes.

How does pH affect cells and cellular processes
wel
The slightest change in pH can destroy the substance or organism. The pH of a cell's interior helps regulate the cell's chemical reactions. For example, the pH of blood is 7.4, if blood falls to 6.8 or lower or 8.2 or higher, it results in death.
