Mark is studying jellyfish in a small body of water. mollusks are a primary food source for jellyfish, and a large number of mollusks have recently been harvested from the area. how will this impact the carrying capacity for the jellyfish?

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.

cats appear to have glowing cat eyes because the back of their eyeballs includes a special reflective surface called the tapetum lucidum. this lets them see better during the night, giving them a much better vision.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
