An ecosystem is a community of living organisms and the nonliving components of the environment Energy flows in an ecosystem in one direction through food chains, and a food web is made up of all the food chains within a community of organisms. Biodiversity refers to the variation in species found within an ecosystem, and it is measured in two ways: (1)
species richness, which is the total number of different species in an ecosystem; and (2) relative abundance, which is a measure of how common each species is within the ecosystem
Imagine that carnivore D represents the sea lamprey in the Great Lakes ecosystem. This invasive species has been present there
since the 1800's yet the ecosystem has remained stable. How can you explain this?
A) The sea lampreys are indigenous to salt water and have a very short life
span
B) There are complex feeding mechanisms at work to protect the other
species in the food web.
C) The sea lampreys only feed on one type of fish so they have only depleted
that single population.
D) Marine scientists have developed a method to effectively remove the
Lampreys from the Great Lakes.

Seen in some gram-positive bacilli, occurs when only the inner portion of a cell wall is deposited across the dividing cell. this new cross wall puts tension on the outer layer of the old cell wall. eventually, the outer wall breaks at its weakest point with a snapping movement that tears it most of the way around. the daughter cells can then remain hanging together almost side by side being held by a small remnant of the original outer wall. choose from the following statements the ones that correctly discuss reproduction using binary fission in a bacterial cell. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. due to the stretching of the cytoplasmic membrane, both cells will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell will contain an equal number of organelles. the daughter cell will be a permanently smaller copy of the mother cell but will contain a complete genome. each daughter cell is an exact copy of the other, both genetically and morphologically
