*** WILL BE GIVING BRAINLIEST *** After a week with lots of rain, runoff has caused a large amount of fertilizer to wash into the ocean from the farms on the California Coast. This caused a bloom in phytoplankton. When these microscopic creatures die after their short life, their decomposition creates an environment in the water with little oxygen, making it toxic to mussels and crabs. Identify two organisms which may benefit from this decline and two organisms (other than mussels and crabs) which may suffer. Explain why this advantage or disadvantage would occur.

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
