Answer and explanation:

1. A fluid of lymph and blood that circulates within invertebrates -- Hemolymph.

Hemolymph is a liquid, analog to blood, that is found in arthropods (invertebrates that have an exoskeleton, like insects and arachnids). Hemolymph has hemocyanin, which are proteins that transport oxygen, much like vertebrates' hemoglobin.

2. Protein cells that assist in fighting infection and disease - interferon.

Interferons are proteins released by host cells in the presence of several viruses. Interferons are a type of cytokine, which are molecules used to trigger the immune response. This way, they assist in fighting infections.

3. Type of leukocyte that makes up the specific immunity system; capable of building immunity to a disease - Lymphocyte.

Lymphocytes are one of the 5 types of leukocytes (white blood cells) present in the body. There are three types of lymphocytes: B (they mature in the bone marrow), T (they mature in the thymus), and NK -natural killers-. Lymphocytes participate in both the cell-mediated and the humoral responses of the immune system.

4. Excretory tubules in insects and spiders that empty into the intestine - Malpighian tubules.

The malpighian tubule system is found in insects, myriapods and arachnids, and is a type of excretory and osmoregulatory system that absorbs water and solutes from the hemolymph.

5. The functioning unit of Kidney that produces urine - Nephron.

The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, composed of a renal corpuscle (which consists of a tuft of capillaries surrounded by the Bowman's capsule) and a renal tubule. There are over one million nephrons in the kidney. The function of the nephrons is to produce urine through blood filtration.

6. Tubes in flatworm and earthworms that excrete waste - Nephridia.

Nephridia are organs found in the invertebrates that are analog to the kidneys found in the vertebrates. Nephridia remove metabolic wastes from the invertebrates' bodies.

A group of small fish live in a lake with a uniformly light-brown sandy bottom. Most of the fish are light brown, but about 10%

<h2>Proportion of mottled fish </h2>

Explanation:

  • A predator can be defined as an organism that makes the other organisms die to obtain them as food. Prey is the living being which is typically inferior and killed by the predator. Adaptation is a change in the physiology, morphology and genetic makeup of the organism which makes it suitable for survival in an unfavorable environment. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of the organisms which exhibit better traits over the others
  • The population of the mottled fish is likely to increase due to natural selection. As the mottled fish color pattern match with that of the mottled background of the bottom of the lake. This will help the mottled fishes to camouflage the predator wading birds. These mottled fishes will remain undetected from the predator wading birds. The trait of the mottled pattern will be adapted by the light sandy brown fishes and the trait will be passed on the next generation as well. Hence, the proposition of the mottled fish will increase
  • Hence, the right answer is "the proportion of mottled fish will increase over time"

How would an increasing shark population most likely affect this ecosystem?
Lemur [1.5K]
D. The octupus population would decrease.

This is because if more sharks were in the ecosystem than they would feed on more octopus, decreasing the population of them.
