I think should do the trick A and D
Its a mollusc (i think that helps?)
Answer and Explanation:
Example of a food-web:
(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin
The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.
1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.
The next links are the consumers:
2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.
3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.
4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.
5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.
6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.
Answer:
Red tide occurs in patches of water where certain species of dinoflagellates flourish.
Explanation:
Red tides refer to the noticeable microalgae proliferation that can be recognized for being a big spot in the sea of a characteristic coloration. This phenomenon is caused by two microalgae groups: diatoms and dinoflagellates, both part of phytoplankton.
Red tides occur when certain environmental factors -such as temperature, light, nutrients availability, ph, etcetera- favor the overproduction of these organisms. These species produce toxins that turn to be dangerous for other animal species that feed on them.
Because these microorganisms produce pigments, their accumulation on the sea surface can be noticed as reddish, brown, or greenish color spots of variable extension.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
this is because these photosynthetic protists have chlororphyll which is capable to make their own food materials through photosynthesis
