Pure water has a pH of 7, while acidic solutions will ALWAYS have a pH lower that 7. ~Your Welcome
Answer:
Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(
Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.
Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.
Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.
Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets
Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.
Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.
Answer:
α = 0 if β= 0
Explanation:
If both species want to persist in the same environment and their niches are also over lapping then both of the co-efficient values should be equal. There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.
Answer & explanation:
Non-native species may be animals, plants or microorganisms introduced into an ecosystem of which they are not originally part, but where they adapt and come to dominate, harming natural processes and native organisms.
When a new species is introduced into an environment other than its own, it may compete with others, prey heavily on some species, over-breed and even cause disease.
Therefore, it can be concluded that this action may cause the destruction of some species, directly affecting the balance of that ecosystem.
