Answer:
The correct answer is:
population of the predator species is larger and the populations of the prey species are smaller. (C)
Explanation:
apparent competition occurs occurs between two species or group of organisms that do not directly compete for resources affect each other indirectly by being prey to the same predator. For example consider three species of organisms; sparrows, earthworms and beetles, where earthworms and beetles are preys of the sparrows, an increase in the population of earthworms will in the long term lead to an increase in the population of sparrows, which means that more predators will be available, leading to a decrease in the population of beetles, because more predators are available to prey on them. Also a decrease in the population of earthworms will also lead to a decrease in the population of beetles because their probability of being seen by the predators will increase leading to an increase in their killing.
Therefore in apparent competition, although it occurs between two prey species, their in an increase in the number of predators and a decrease in the population of the prey.
Explanation: The green algae population will increase because if the crustaceans are killed, there is no consumption of algae hence resulting in increased levels of algae.
After that the blue gill fish that is the consumer of crustaceans will also be affected, their numbers will start to reduce with time and they might die off unless they move to another habitat so the option "D" is wrong
<span>simple and complex
"complete and incomplete" are terms used for proteins in nutrition. "macro and micro" are terms used for nutrients in nutrition. And " saturated and unsaturated are terms used for fats also in nutrition.
The difference between simple and complex carbohydrates is related to the way they are digested. Simple carbohydrates are quickly absorbed and ready to be used, while complex carbohydrates take longer to be absorbed and supply energy through a longer period of time.</span>
