5. Florida boa constrictors are invasive top predators. How does the boa constrictor negatively impact species in the tertiary trophic level? *

It would not affect them

Tertiary consumers would increase.

Tertiary consumers would have less food

Tertiary consumers would decrease

The correct answer is "Tertiary consumers would have less food".

Explanation:

Animals in the tertiary trophic level are omnivores that eat animals that are in the secondary trophic level because they are carnivorous as well. An invasive top predator such as boa constrictors not necessary eat animals in the tertiary trophic level, however they affect them because they eat their food. Boa constrictors' diet include a wide variety of animals, including birds, mammals, and other reptiles

who knows

explanation:

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!
