Answer:
Well, if all the herbivores disappeared, multiple things could occur. Without anyone keeping plants in check, plants may grow too abundant and may be harmful to the food web. Not only that, but predators that eat herbivors might starve without food. On the plus side, natural resources like water would increase without herbivores drinking/using it.
I hope this helps :)
Explanation:
B) The fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species
Since, the options have not been given, the question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
When Alexander Fleming discovered what was to become penicillin, he noticed that wherever mold was growing on plates of Staphylococus sp., there was a zone of inhibition of bacterial growth around the fungi. What type of symbiotic relationship does this describe?
A) Amensalistic
B) Cooperative
C) Mutualistic
Answer: A) Amensalistic
Explanation:
Amensalism is a symbiotic relationship between organisms that belong to different species, in this one organism is destroyed or inhibited in terms of growth and distribution but the other organism remains unaffected.
The given situation is the result of amensalism this is because of the fact that penicillin contains a fungal formulation which is likely to destroy the bacterial cells of Staphylococus sp. by creating a zone of inhibiting. Here, the fungal species will remain unaffected but the bacterial species will be inhibited.
