Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the ocean. They eat by filtering small particles of

food from the ocean water as it flows over them. A scientist observed a dense colony of barnacles covering the surface of a rock. The mussels were only able to attach to a few, small crevices on the same rock.
Evaluate this observation and explain a limiting factor that is affecting the barnacles and mussels on the ocean rock.

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.

Answer:

The water cycle.

Explanation:

The sun drives the movement of water through a process called the water cycle. In this process, water is evaporated from the sun's heat that reaches Earth. This water rises into the atmosphere in the for of water vapor. This water vapor then collects in the atmosphere along with other particles such as fine dust. This water then precipitates back onto the Earth. Presumably, the water precipitation may fall onto a land formation and integrate back into the ecosystem in the form of ground water or join a steam/river and end up in a lake or the ocean. The water then continues this cycle.

What would cause an individual to have a mutation in all of their cells?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger?
kherson [118]

Answer:  As we all grow, why don’t the cells just get bigger instead of getting more of them? Cells are limited in size because the outside (the cell membrane) must transport the food and oxygen to the parts inside.
