Question
How can a decline in the population of freshwater mussels affect the ecosystem?
It has no impact on the ecosystem as mussels are small organisms.
It can improve water quality by reducing filter feeding activity.
It may disrupt the food chain and reduce biodiversity.
It will always lead to an increase in aquatic plant growth. How does the biosphere interact with the atmosphere in the water cycle?
Animals consume water from rivers and lakes.
Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Clouds condense and release water vapor during precipitation.
Evaporation of water from plants contributes to atmospheric humidity. Bivalves, like mussels, have evolved to allow them to move from ocean waters to freshwater like rivers and bays.
What is the significance of this evolutionary phenomenon?
It led to the extinction of bivalve freshwater mussel species.
It allowed bivale freshwater mussels to access new food sources and habitats.
It caused a decrease in the diversity of bivalve freshwater mussels.
It prevented bivalve freshwater mussels from reproducing effectively.Which of the following will result in a qualitative measurement related to freshwater mussels?
Weighing the mussels to determine their mass
Counting the number of mussels within a given area
Describing the texture of a mussel's shell
Measuring the water temperature in their habitatHow does a phylogenetic tree assist in studying the evolution of mussels?
It illustrates the evolutionary relationships and ancestry of mussel species.
It shows the age of various mussel species in relation to one another.
It helps determine the geographical distribution of different mussel species.
It provides insights into the genetic diversity among different mussel populations.
