Why are shellfish population often a good indicator of water quality

Biology

Pachacha [2.7K]4 years ago

"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can survive in a body of water.
 Shellfish require a high level of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.

An owl and a bat share the same kingdom and phylum; an owl and a robin share the same kingdom, phylum, and class. Which of the f
neonofarm [45]

The correct answer is - b. The owl and the robin have more characteristics in common.

All three animals are in fact connected, but the connections are very different. While the owl and the robin are closely related, their connection with the bat can be traced few hundred million years ago. The owl and the robin are both birds, they share common ancestors in the early transitional species of bird-like dinosaurs, and before that their ancestors were part of the dinosaurs. The bat on the other hand, is a mammal, and has evolved from the primitive shrew like mammals that got an open space after the dinosaurs disappeared, and while living along side them were living in their shadow. So the bat's connection to the owl and the robin is going much further into the geologic past, before the diversification of the species to mammals and reptiles.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Ocean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density. Ocean water moves in two directions: horizontally and vertically. Horizontal movements are referred to as currents, while vertical changes are called upwellings or downwellings.They carry cold water from the poles to the equator and cool air over land.  They move warm water from the equator to the poles and heat air over land.

Explanation:

They carry cold water from the poles to the equator and cool air over land.  They move warm water from the equator to the poles and heat air over land.
