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.

Explain how the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading​
Dafna11 [192]

The Drilling sample of the Seafloor spreading theory helped in determining rock ages on the floor of ocean.

Explanation:

The formation of crusts of ocean by the process of volcanic eruptions in the ridges of the middle ocean is the theory of seafloor spreading proposed by Hammond Hess. The movement of tectonic plates continuously forms sea floors through spreading of seafloor.  The several evidences in support of this theory has been seen, of which some are – molten material eruptions, magnetic stripes in rocks and rock ages.

The drilling evidence is the final one that was proved by taking samples of rock by drilling in ocean and by bringing them with pipes. The observation of these rocks proved that older rocks were collected from farther ridges and youngers are found in the central ridges.

That would be myology. Myology is the study of the muscular system, wlong with its nature, structure, functions and diseases. It mainly deals with the three types of muscles found in the human body: skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles. Muscles are also categorized depending on whether or not they are voluntary or involuntary. Myology is concerned with the study of all this and much more.
