The pattern of dispersion for a certain species of kelp is clumped. The pattern of dispersion for a certain species of snail that lives only on this kelp would likely be?

Clumped. Due to the pattern of their only food source, the snails could only survive by assuming the same pattern of dispersion.

What is spatial dispersion?
dispersion refers to the spatial arrangement of organismsThere are three main types of dispersion patterns in which organisms of the same species can be arranged: random, regular, and clumpedA random pattern dictates that any one organism's position is independent of the position of the other organisms within proximity to it. It is no more likely to be located next to one than it is to another. Regular and clumped patterns, on the other hand, dictate that any one organism's position is dependent on the position of other organisms within proximity to it. A regular pattern shows even spacing among individuals while a clumped pattern shows aggregated spacing among individuals. These patterns can apply to any type of organism, be it plant, animal, protist, or fungus. And while there are just three patterns, there are a large variety of potential explanations that can create those patterns.
What is the pattern of spacing between individuals across the range of a population called?
species distribution
What type of interaction exists in a non-polar species?
Non-polar species will interact through dispersion forces. Dispersion forces are attraction between the positive nucleus of an atom and the negative electrons of another atom. Dispersion force, also known as London forces, are the weakest intermolecular force and occur from temporary dipoles forming in molecules.
Name any two problems that animals species overcome by their dispersion?

Are clumped distributions the most common type of distribution in nature?
Yes, it is the most common distribution of a species in nature for the sake of survival and adaptation.
Give an example of a social behavior that can produce a clumped distribution?
Clumped populations are usually a product of desire for protection or varying resources. Fish swim in schools because it is less likely for any one fish to be consumed, while a species of plants may gather around an area of increased nutrients.
What are multimolecular colloids?
when on dispersion of a substance in the dispersion medium a large number of atoms or smaller molecules of substance (diameter less than 1 nm) aggregates together to form species having size in colloidal range, the species thus formed are called as multimolecular colloids. in these colloids the particles are held by weak van der waals forces.
Do slugs like land or lakes or both?
Certain species of slugs live on land, and certain species live in the water. No species of slug can live in both.
Is a capuchin endangered?
The Capuchin is an endangered species of monkey. Certain wildlife organizations are taking certain measures to preserve the Capuchin species.
Fire resistant species include what species?
There are certain types of plants that are fire resistant, such as certain types of pine cones. There are also fire resistant animals, such as certain microbes.
What are the three types of population dispersion patterns?
Uniform - known as uniform or even distribution, this distribution pattern is characterized by the maximization of distance between any two individuals. Typically this is found in plants; they compete for a resource such as soil nutrients or moisture, so they space themselves far apart in order to maximize the amount of resource consumption. It can also be a result of territorial behavior as in penguin colonies.Clumped - the most common distribution pattern in nature, clumped distribution is the opposite of uniform: individuals minimize the space between others; as a result, "clumps" of species form around each other. This can be a result of unreliable resources. If one area tends to accumulate one resource important to the population, the individuals of the population will clump around this resource. It is also found among many animals to either aid predation or fend off predators. Hyenas, lions, and cheetahs hunt in packs to ensure a kill while schools of fish aggregate to minimize the chance that any one fish will be eaten.Random - in very homogenous environments, random or unpredictable spacing will occur, but this is not common in nature. For random distribution to occur, an individual of the population won't have any affinity or repulsion from another individual, nor will they have a preference for location due to biotic factors. Some examples of random dispersion include the random destinations of dandelion seeds dispersed by the wind and oyster larvae that are carried by water currents.
What causes endanger?
The dying off of a certain species causes that species to become endangered (the low count of that species)
