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.

Which one of these is an example of cell division at work?
wel

The right option is; a. A tree grows tall

A tree grows tall is an example of cell division at work because growth is associated with cell division. Also, cell division in multicellular organisms such as plant involves tissue growth and maintenance. Cell division is a process of reproduction in which a cell divides into two or more cells. In this process, production of new cells involves DNA replication and there are various types of cell division. Prokaryotes (such as bacteria) divide their cell using binary fission, while eukaryotes divide their cell by mitosis or meiosis in some.
