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.

If temperature is increased , the number of collision per second
Tomtit [17]

Answer: increases

Explanation:

Increase in the temperature of a reaction system will cause the molecules of the reactants to possess higher kinetic energy which they would use to travel more randomly in the system, colliding more frequently with other excited molecules and with the wall of the containing vessel.

Thus, if temperature is increased, the number of collision per second also increases.

Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is
Mumz [18]
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
