Answer:
Antibiotic resistance continues to become worse, despite the ever-increasing resources devoted to combat the problem. One of the most important factors in the development of resistance to antibiotics is the remarkable ability of bacteria to share genetic resources via Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT).
LGT occurs on a global scale, such that in theory, any gene in any organism anywhere in the microbial biosphere might be mobilized and spread. With sufficiently strong selection, any gene may spread to a point where it establishes a global presence. From an antibiotic resistance perspective, this means that a resistance phenotype can appear in a diverse range of infections around the globe nearly simultaneously. We discuss the forces and agents that make this LGT possible and argue that the problem of resistance can ultimately only be managed by understanding the problem from a broad ecological and evolutionary perspective. We also argue that human activities are exacerbating the problem by increasing the tempo of LGT and bacterial evolution for many traits that are important to humans.

Answer:
Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(
Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.
Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.
Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.
Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets
Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.
Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.
The organelle that could b malfunctioning is the mitochondria, which packages proteins and without protein for cells, the outcome is cell lysis, or destruction.
