In the late 1960s, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species dive

rsity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process most likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was:a. predation.
b. mutualism.
c. resource partitioning.
d. parasitism.
e. competitive exclusion.

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

During conducting the experiment, it was performed in control conditions. In this case the top predators were removed.

There were limited number of organism left at the place which compete with each other for the same resources.

Mussel and Barnacle were the two species left there which feed on the same resources for their needs. This is the reason there was loss of diversity.

A bacterial cell that contains an outer membrane and periplasmic space stains pink to red on Gram stain. Which one of the follow
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.

Explanation:

Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
