They decrease because the zebra mussel were taking their resources. Leaving them nothing to eat.
Some of the organisms have evolved in such a way that they remain inactive when the predator populations are active.
Adaptive theory of sleep suggests that the prey population prefer to sleep when (in this case, at night) the predators are most active. The prey population use this time in taking rest and restoring energy for other works. As the prey population is inactive and remained protected in safe places, they are less likely to be predated.
Hence, the correct answer is adaptive theory of sleeping.
The question is not asked very well, you man mean that this individual is the patron.
You should call 911 (or any emergency service in other countries) if the individual loses consciousness because it is a sign of a severe dehydration.
While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, you should keep the individual in a cool place with shadow, and give him water to rehydrate.
To complete your sentence: An individual who has been in the hot sun all day complains of weakness and nausea. they are sweating a lot. you have someone call 911 right away if the patron refuses water.
The basic components (depedent and indepedent variables) are the plants and altitude while the confounding variable is the 20 story building. Confounding variables affect the experiement variable and are mainly outside of the researcher’s control in the experiment. Ray cannot change the building but this variable can affect the depedent and indepedent variables and cause distorted or spurious results.
The following option are correct:
1. There will be interspecific competition between foxes and tigers.
Competition for food between animals of different species is called interspecific competition while that between the same animal species is called intraspecific competition.
2. The energy received at the tropic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount.
The energy received at the trophic level become reduced because the amount of food available for the carnivores has been reduced.
3. There will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores.
Decrease biomass will occur at the trophic level of carnivores because, those carnivores that can not survive the food reduction problem will die off.
