Answer:

The producers-Sea weed-Perform photosynthesis.

The filter feeders- sponges, chiton-eat floating planktons.

Grazers -Snails,mussels feed on- floating planktons.

Carnivores such as sea stars feeds on snails

Explanation:

The producers are placed at the bottom level in energy pyramid and are prime factor in the aquatic eco system which provides energy and perform photosynthesis with the help of water,sunlight and chlorophyll.
The filter feeders are those that feeds upon small particles that are present in the water.
Grazers are those organisms that feeds on producers like phytoplanktons.
Carnivores are those organisms that feeds on herbivores.

do members of the same phylum share more characteristics than members of the same class? Explain why or why not.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: No, they don't.

Explanation:

In the taxonomic rank (Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species-- in that order) because phylum comes before class, it means it covers a broader spectrum of organisms. So, the traits are less specific. As you narrow it down, the members of the rank will share more and more traits in common.

Here is an example:

Humans are a member of the phylum chordata. All members of phylum chordata share the same 5 traits at some point in their lifetime. (Some only show the traits when they are embryos/larvae). These 5 characteristics share a tail, a notochord, a single, hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and an endostyle (thyroid).

So, now that we've established that humans are from phylum chordata, we can narrow it down to what class they are in. Humans are in the class mammalia, meaning they are mammals. All mammals not only share those 5 characteristics of phylum chordata, but they also share characteristics that unite them with each other. They all have hair, mammary glands in females, and are endothermic.

So, while members of the phylum chordata share at least 5 traits, members of the class mammalia share at least 8.

I hope that makes sense!

Based on the information in the graph, what is the best conclusion to draw

Sever21 [200]

The correct answer is C. The birthrate is higher than the death rate.

Explanation

The graph is about the growth of the world population, this shows the population growth of the world, Asia, Africa, Europe, United States, Canada and Greenland, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean Islands, and South America, and Oceania (Australia and nearby islands in the Pacific). This graph covers the time from 1950 to 2050 divided into decades. In the specific case of Africa in 1950 it had a population of close to 300 million people. Subsequently, in 2010 the population of Africa was close to 1 billion people and the projection for the year 2050 is 2 billion people. According to this, it can be concluded that the birth rate is higher than the death rate because the population has a growth trend, which indicates that more people are born than die.
