Answer: b. An increase in the population of prey it feeds on.

Explanation:

A predator is a kind of organism which kills the other organisms so as to obtain them as food. The organism which is killed is called as prey. If the population of predators in an ecosystem increases the result for this increase is the increase in population of prey which the predator population can use as food to survive, reproduce and grow in number.

Using the idea of concentration gradient explain why the purple colour of potassium permaganate gradually spreads throughout the
NNADVOKAT [17]

The purple color of potassium permanganate gradually spreads throughout the water in the jar by the process of diffusion.

  • Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the regions of lower concentration. Diffusion occurs in liquids as well as gases.
  • Potassium permanganate is a purple color compound, when it is added in a jar of water it spreads throughout the water by the virtue of diffusion.
  • The concentration of potassium permanganate is higher at one point and the other regions in the jar have its nil or low concentrations initially, this leads to the set up of a concentration gradient.
  • As time passes diffusion occurs and the particles of potassium permanganate keep on migrating to the regions of low concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout the jar. Ultimately, it spread throughout the jar making the water purple.

Some bacteria living in the ocean floor can turn methane (a gas) into food.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Only an autotrophic species can convert methane into food.  

Deep below the sea, methane and hydrogen sulfide are found in abundance. These gases get mixed into the sea water.  

Autotrophic bacteria containing phosynthetic pigments oxidize these dissolved gases thereby producing food.  

Hence these autotrophic bacteria’s will be considered as producers as they produce food.  

Thus, option A is correct.

What were the four examples of autotrophic organisms?
Degger [83]

Answer:

Plants, coral, bacteria, and algae do this. Bacteria is a more recent find in the process of photosynthesis with primary producers, as they were just discovered in the soil. During photosynthesis, primary producers take energy from the sun and produce it into energy, sugar, and oxygen.

Explanation:

Hope it helps
