Adult and larval dung beetles eat and live in animal droppings. Larval dung beetles feed on the solid portion of the dung (the roughage), whereas adults ingest tiny particles of food which they extract from the liquid component of dung by passing the liquid through their mouthparts. The adults are best described as... A. Substrate-feeding detritivores B. Filter-feeding detritivores C. Bulk-feeding parasites D. Fluid-feeding omnivores E. None of the above

O They are considered plant parasites. Barnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whes neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles. Barnacles follow r selection strategies. How would the interaction between barnacles and whales be described?" O Commensalism O Mutualism O Competition O Parasitism Sea otters.

DDT was spraved over an area of land to control a population of insects. It is believed that the pesticide interfered with birds' ability to metabolize calcium. The best explanation for how this pesticide came to affect the eggshells of the birds is that: O A Fish eaten by the birds had been directly sprayed with DDT O B. The birds were sprayed with DDT O C. Insects sprayed with DDT infested the birds' nests O D. DDT washed into local bodies of water, was passed through the food chain consisting of plankton, fish and the birds
