Consider the following marine community: Sea otters prey on sea urchins and therefore help maintain a healthy sea urchin populat

ion. Sea urchins prey on kelp. By helping to maintain viable sea urchin populations, the sea otters are also allowing enough kelp to grow and act as a habitat for other organisms. Suppose that a bacterial infection swept across a sea otter population and killed most sea otters before they could reproduce. How would the marine community be affected

Answer:

There will be a larger sea urchin population and less kelp. Having less kelp will result in habitat loss for other organisms.

Explanation:

The sea otters preyed on the sea urchin, and the sea urchin preyed on the kelp. When the sea otter population whipped, there was no other organism to prey on the sea urchin. This leads to a larger population of sea urchins, and now since this happened, there will be less kelp because the population of sea urchins has increased, and that's what they feed on. With less kelp, there will not be a habitat for other organisms.

Ecology is best defined as…
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A) The scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and their interactions with the environment.

Explanation:

Ecology is the part of biology that is concerned with the study of the relationships established between living beings and theirs with the environment in which they live.  It is a term derived from the Greek that was formed from the junctions of the words "oikos" and "logos", which mean, respectively, home and study. Thus, the term Ecology refers to the study of the “home” of every organism on the planet.

The term Ecology was first used in 1866 by a German zoologist named Ernst Haeckel, in a work called "Generelle Morphologie der Organismen". In this work, the author defined Ecology as "the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment."
