4: a species is a group of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups. Process of Speciation. The process of speciation is a 2 stage process in which reproductive isolating mechanisms arise between groups of populations.
Monocots have only one seed leaf inside the seed coat. It is often only a thin leaf, because the endosperm to feed the new plant is not inside the seed leaf. Dicots have two seed leaves inside theseed coat. They are usually rounded and fat, because they contain the endosperm to feed the embryo plant. [Credit to: Monocots and Dicots - The seed site]
Answer:
B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls
Explanation:
Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).
Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism
Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)
Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.
Incorrect answers (and why):
A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls
C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.
D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.
I hope this helps! :)
