Correct question:

Which of the following definitions is INCORRECT?

A. pandemic: a disease that affects a large number of people in the world in a short time

B. epidemic: a disease that is endemic across the world

C. endemic: a disease that is constantly present in a population

Answer:

B. epidemic: a disease that is endemic across the world

A disease or infection is categorized as an epidemic when it affects a relatively large number of members of a population or locality. The spread of epidemic diseases is usually associated with specific conditions such as entry of a new pathogen in the population, contaminated food or water supply, etc. For example, the supply of contaminated water may affect a large number of individuals present in that locality with cholera. In this case, cholera will be an epidemic.

What group of organisms are responsible for capturing energy within ecosystems
Marina86 [1]

The type of organisms that take energy by eating up other organisms in an ecosystem are called 'CONSUMERS'. Now these consumers are further divided into three major classes:

1. Primary consumers: this type of consumers feed directly from the producers (plants) and they only eat grass, leaves, vegetables, etc. Such animals are also called herbivores. Example: rabbit

2. Secondary consumers: these are the animals that eat up primary consumers (animals that feed only on plants). These animals are called carnivores. Example: snake

3. Tertiary consumers: animals that eat carnivores which eats a herbivore are called tertiary consumers. They can be completely carnivore or omnivore (who feed on animals and plants both). Example: humans (they feed on animals and plants both)

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Water sample showing pink/purple color is an error.

Explanation:

Biuret is a blue color reagent that changes its color to pink/purple whenever it detects protein in a sample. Water don't contain proteins so it should not show pink/purple color instead it should maintain the blue color. Food items generally contain proteins so it show pink/purple color but it showed blue color.

Error might have caused by wrong marking of the samples, test tube marked with Water might contain a mystery food while Mystery food tube might contain water.
