Answer:

Zebra mussels feed on phytoplankton, which zooplankton need as a food source.

Explanation:

The population of zooplankton in Lake Erie and the Hudson River declined due to the arrival of zebra mussels because Zebra mussels feed on phytoplankton, which is the main source food of zooplankton. So due to limited or scarcity of food in the environment, the zooplankton die due to hunger that leads to the decrease of population of zooplankton in that environment.

Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the structures of carbohydrates
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Both are considered macromolecules. I'll explain below

Explanation:

Proteins are like a huge Lego construction. Each individual piece gets pieced together to make a larger "thing" - Death Star, House, etc. Each individual piece is a monomer, and the larger construction is the polymer. The monomers are Amino Acids and they get pieced together to form the polymer that is called a protein. The linkage that they use is an amide bond, and in biology it is usually called a peptide bond.

Carbohydrates can be singular monomers or polymer units. They are made of completely different compounds - usually aldehydes or ketones. And they link together through different chemical linkages (acetal or ketal linkages for polymers,hemiacetal or hemiketal linkages for monomers).

Both can be large, 3D strucutres - proteins are only functional as a large, 3D structure, while carbohydrates can be singular.
