Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters
2. They are prey for carnivores.
3. Sea otters, star fish
Explanation:
Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.
Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins. So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.
Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.
The cell theory is the idea that the basic unit of life is cells.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is macromolecule composed of nucleotides (nitrogen nucleobase, deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group) which carries genetic information (instructions). Instructions within DNA are for development, growth, reproduction and many other functional roles of an organism.
All of the cells within an organism contain the same genome (full set of DNA-chromosomes). When cells begin the process of differentiation (cells become specified) their genome stays the same, but the gene expression is different (different genes are on or off).
