Answer:

the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>

<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>

Ecosystems include food webs that show predation and prey interactions among organisms. But ecosystems have many more relationsh
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).
