A food web is graphical representation of what eats what in an ecological community and is formed by the natural interconnection of food chains.

Freshwater mussel are important components of food webs. They are omnivores and they feed upon algae, zooplanktons, bacteria and dissolved organic matter.

  • If a virus wiped out the mussel population, the  consumer (seagull, octopus, human) may not starve or die as they have other sources of food available. The other food sources available for human is fish, shark and octopus, for seagull is fish and  for octopus is limpets. However as the consumer have lost a source of food, the competition for other food sources will increase. Competition occurs  in a food web as individuals of different species struggle to obtain the same food.
  • The two other consumer of mussels are-human and octopus.
  • The population of consumers may not change drastically as other food sources are available.

what ph indicator is added to the simmons citrate agar? group of answer choices phenol red methylene green bromothymol blue litm
NikAS [45]

The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB)

Simmons Citrate Agar is a selective and differential medium used for the detection and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae (gram-negative bacteria).

The medium contains sodium citrate as the sole carbon source, which is used to differentiate organisms based on their ability to utilize citrate as a sole carbon source.

The medium also contains pH indicators that change color based on the pH of the medium. The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB).

BTB is a pH indicator that turns yellow in acidic conditions and blue in basic conditions. As the bacteria metabolize the citrate in the medium, they produce acids, which cause the medium to become acidic.

This change in pH is detected by the BTB, which changes color from blue to yellow. The yellow coloration of the medium is an indication that the organism is utilizing citrate as a sole carbon source.

katrin [286]

Answer:

cells arose from preexisting cells

Explanation:

<em>Rudolph Virchow is a German biologist that built on the work of other scientists such as Theodor Schwan to contribute his own quota to the development of the cell theory as it is currently known.</em>

After several studies, Virchow rejected the idea of spontaneous generation and accepted the initially rejected idea of cell division. He earlier believed that cell division only takes place is some special type of cells and not in all cells.

Even though Virchow was not the first to bring the idea of cells arising from preexisting cells, he was the one that popularized the idea and added it to the earlier belief that all living organisms are made up of cells.

The standard unit for measuring mass is the gram.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Ann [662]
b. False is the correct answer.

The standard unit for measuring mass is kilogram (kg), which is equal to 10^3 g. In chemistry, we use grams for measuring mass because we just usually use small amounts of stuff, so using grams is more sensible.

Hope this helps~
