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.

how do the strategically placed covalent and hydrogen bonds present in dna facilitate the functioning of the molecule
Sergio [31]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • DNA is a double stranded molecule. Covalent and hydrogen bonds pray important roles in the functioning of DNA molecules.
  • <em><u>Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the nucleotide bases, sugars, and phosphate groups occurring both within each component and between components.</u></em>
  • <em><u> Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.</u></em>
  • Hydrogen bonds helps the complementary base pairs in DNA; guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine to connect to one another. The hydrogen bonds between these complementary pairs helps keep the two strands of DNA helix together.

zhuklara [117]
Cellular respiration results in decreased biomass for a plant. <span>In cellular respiration glucose and oxygen yield water and carbon dioxide. So, carbon dioxide is released in the into the air instead of forming organic molecules which could increase the biomass.</span>
