In a lake with three trophic levels (non-native fish, zooplankton, algae), an algal bloom occurs when the small population of zo

oplankton declines due to the predation of the invasive fish. Which of the following describes why zooplankton are the keystone species in this scenario?
Zooplankton are the smallest of all the herbivorous marine mammals in their communities.
The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.
Marine mammals depend upon the work of zooplankton to convert sunlight into food.
Zooplankton help other populations survive by keeping out other herbivores.

Answer:

The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.

Explanation:

According to this question, there are three trophic levels of organism in a lake as follows: non-native fish, zooplankton, and algae. However, due to the declination in the number of zooplanktons in the lake as they were fed on by the non-native fish, the algal population increased to form a BLOOM.

This bloom of algal species can be attributed to the lack of zooplanktons, which represented the only herbivorous (plant eaters) organism in that community. Hence, their relatively small population have an unequal effect on the marine community. This means that the small population of zooplanktons caused an imbalance in the community and this is why ZOOPLANKTON is the keystone species in this scenario.

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain inorganic components. <br> a. True <br> b. False
emmasim [6.3K]
This is false, as macronutrients are all made of organic components. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most basic unit for carbohydrates is glucose. Glucose is an organic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H12O6 which then is broken down by the body to convert it to energy (in the form of ATP). Fats or triglycerides are comprised of fatty acids and a glycerol backbone which can also be used by the body for energy or can be stored for later use. Proteins on the other hand are functional molecules wherein the basic unit for proteins is the amino acid. Proteins are exemplified because they contain nitrogen (CHON). All of which can be used as energy and has specific caloric value per gram (4 kcal for every gram of protein and carbohydrates and 9 kcal for every gram of fat).

Micronutrients are usually inorganic compounds with no caloric value. Usually these micronutrients are essential for maintaining biochemical pathways in the body. For instance, niacin and riboflavin are vitamins that are needed in the production of NAD and FAD which are important for reduction-oxidation reactions in the body (i.e. tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain).
