Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.

1 answer:

4 0

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.

Answer:

C: competitive exclusion

Explanation:

<em>The competitive exclusion principle states that organisms living in the same community while competing for the same resources cannot coexist at a constant population rate. </em>

Once some of the species within the community get a slight competitive edge over other species, they become dominant and this might lead to the extinction of the weaker species in the long run.

<u>In the experimental plot, the removal of sea stars provided mussel and barnacle with a competitive advantage over other species within the community (sea stars are predators of mussels and barnacles). This led to the dominance of mussel and barnacle and the eventual extinction of other species within the experimental plot as compared to the control plot.</u>

The correct answer is C.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

LPL Lipoprotein Lipase

Explanation:

LPL is a ubiquitous enzyme that is found in the lumen of blood capillaries. It hydrolyzes the tracilglycerols of lipoproteins rich in triacylglycerols and breaks them down to free fatty acids and glycerol, releasing them into muscle and adipose tissue. It also allows the uptake of the resulting free fatty acids by the underlying tissues.
