A scientist named Joseph Connell studied two species of barnacles on the shore of a Scottish island. In the area between the ave
rage tide and the neap high tide, he found that the population of Species A was smaller than that of Species B. He removed Species B from one area but left both Species A and B in a similar area. The graph below shows the results of this study. Based on these data, which hypothesis was Connell most likely testing?
Select one:
The two species of barnacles compete with each other for resources.
The two species of barnacles are closely related to each other.
Barnacles grow larger when they are isolated from other species.
The populations of both species of barnacles increase more in warm water than in cool water.
The main role of carbonic anhydrase in humans is to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid and back again. However, it can also help with CO2 transport in the blood which in turn helps respiration. It can even function in the formation of hydrochloric acid by the stomach.
