Answer:

D

Explanation:

Zebra mussels can be a nuisance in novel ecosystems. When introduced in a non-native ecosystem with no natural predators, they reproduce rapidly displacing native mussels. Zebra mussels take up much of the algar that feeds the other native species hence starving them to death and causing their numbers to plummet. In addition, they attach to the other mussels and clog up power plants, that use the local water, water intakes.

Which property of water allows some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in
sergejj [24]

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.
