Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Digestion or breakdown of food in our body can either be physical/mechanical or chemical/enzymatic. As rightly stated in this question, the manual breakdown of food by the teeth is not enough, chemical digestion must occur via the aid of proteinous substances called ENZYMES. Enzymes, which are secreted by certain organs in the body, do the following:

- They speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the chemical process, allowing more productivity.

- Enzymes help break down various sugars that can then be absorbed e.g amylase helps break down starch, proteases break down proteins, lipases break down lipids etc.

Answer

#1. A reduction in habitat for arctic seals will reduce the population of arctic seals. This will reduce the capture efficiency for killer whales preying on arctic seals because there will be fewer to capture. A reduction in habitat for arctic seals will lower the carrying capacity for arctic seals because there is less habitat. A reduction in arctic seals, the food for killer whales, will reduce the carrying capacity for killer whales, unless there is a substitute source of food.

#2. If there is another source of food for killer whales, the population of killer whales will probably remain the same, if they were at their carrying capacity and their habitat remains the same. If there is another source of food for killer whales, the population of arctic seals will still decrease, because the habitat for arctic seals has decreased, and habitat is independent of predator population.

#3. There are many limitations on any simulation. The computer only uses the parameters in the program, so changes in ocean temperature, weather patterns, salinity changes, food supply, habitat, interaction with other species and presence of plants and zooplankton are not considered. All of those can change and change the results.
