Consider the following food chain: plants are eaten by grasshoppers, which are eaten by mice, which are eaten by snakes. what is likely to happen if a new organism that feeds off mice is introduced?
a. the mice population will increase in response to the arrival of the new organism.
b. the mice population, grasshopper population, and plant population will all increase.
c. the new organism will compete with the snake population for resources.
d. the populations of the existing organisms

Option C

Explanation: In this food chain the plants are eaten by grasshopper which is then eaten by mice and then mice are eaten by snakes.

If any organism is introduced into the food chain that feeds on mice then the competition for snake will increase and the snake and new organism will have to compete for resources as the food is one and the organism feed on it is two.

i think the answer is

mass

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
