How much is lost as respiration by the insect population?How have both partners in the cnidarian–dinoflagellate mutualism evolved adaptations fornutritional exchange?
- Why are polluted water body have an abundance of nostoc and oscillatoria?Other observations showed that Balanus cannot survive high onthe rocks because it dries out during low tides. How would Balanus’s realizedniche compare with its fundamental niche?Why is nitrogen fixation important? Color of the Hydra. Why is it this color?
- Do zooplankton have a compensation depth? If so, would it be above, below, or at the same level as the compensation depth of most phytoplankters?WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Organisms interactwith each other and the physical environment. In a shortessay (100–150 words), explain how the response of diatompopulations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect bothother organisms and aspects of the physical environment(such as carbon dioxide concentrations).Describe two different adaptations (behavioral, morphological, physiological) of butterfly fish that might have for its specific niche within the coral reef (water column, benthic floor, coral).
- would an ecosystem be able to survive without the consumers and the decomposers and its ditritus feedersDescribe the structure and feeding of free-living amoebas.In a shallow coastal ecosystem dominated by seagrasses, nutrient limit primary production under low nutrient ( oligrtropihc) conditions while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient ( eutrophic) condition. In the conceptual model given explain why sea grasses, macroalgae and poluplantkon are in the position of the graph. Kindly explain your answer
