Shrimp

Freshwater shrimp are consumers because they feed on organic matter like algae, small insects, and plant debris. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like producers (plants) do.

Brine shrimp are adapted to living in highly saline environments, so they require salt in their water to maintain proper bodily functions. Without the salt, their cells would not be able to regulate water balance correctly, leading to dehydration and eventual death.

Yes, brine shrimp can survive in a biosphere as they are resilient and adaptable creatures. As long as the biosphere provides the necessary conditions such as appropriate temperature, salinity, and food source, brine shrimp can thrive and reproduce within the controlled environment of a biosphere.

shrimp is a omnivore because it eat plant and meat therefore it is a omnivores

River shrimp are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of plant matter, detritus, algae, small invertebrates, and organic debris present in their habitat. They are also known to scavenge on dead animals and decaying organic matter.

Candy striped shrimp, also known as banded coral shrimp, are found in coral reefs and rocky crevices in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, Hawaii, and Australia. They are commonly found in shallow waters with plenty of hiding spots and places to perch.

The prawn, a relative of the shrimp, is of the sub-order Dendrobrachiata. There are many different families of prawns and the best place to look them up is at Wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawn

Yes, sand shrimps are safe to eat and are sometimes consumed as food. They are rich in protein and can be cooked in various ways such as boiling, grilling, or frying. However, be cautious of where you source them from to ensure they are fresh and safe for consumption.

Saltwater shrimp can have a variety of colors depending on the species, ranging from translucent to colorful hues like red, green, blue, or even striped patterns. Their coloration often helps them blend in with their environment or serve as a form of camouflage against predators.

Shrimp have 254 chromosomes, so an egg cell would have 127 chromosomes

This is kind of tricky. Krill are actually small shrimp, but capable of purposeful swimming. Plankton, by definition, are all the little things in the water, some plants, some animals, that are not capable of purposeful swimming. That is, even if they swim a little, it is not enough to move them significantly from place to place relative to ocean currents. Larval krill would be part of the planktonic community, as would the larvae of many marine creatures. But adult krill are not plankton.

Size comparison: Krill can grow to over 20cm in length and feed primarily on the mostly microscopic plankton.

Yes, spiders are carnivores. They primarily feed on insects and other small arthropods that they catch in their webs or through hunting.

A shrimps heart is located on its head. If we base it on the exact anatomy of a shrimp, its heart is located on its thorax just after the head, but both the head and the thorax are covered with a single exoskeleton only, that is why the shrimps thorax can be mistaken as still part of the shrimps head. But in general, we see a shrimp divided only into 2 parts, the head and the tail, we see no thorax in it.

Praws have gills (special gas exchange surfaces) at the base of each walking leg. In order to pass a constant supply of oxygenated water over the gas exchange surface the gills are ventilated by movement of the walking and swimming legs. A prawn has 5 pairs of walking legs (located on thorax) and 5 pairs of swimming legs (located on the abdomen)

Shrimp do not sleep in the same way that humans do, but they do have periods of rest where they are less active. They may become inactive or hide during these resting periods, especially during the day when they are more vulnerable to predators.

I depends on the species but most spiders prefer not to be exposed to direct bright lights. This is why all pet spiders are typically given pre-started burrows or log hides in which to shelter themselves from light. It won't kill them, but being in bright light with nowhere to go is stressful to many species.

Higher levels of salinity produce brine shrimp that are smaller, but reach sexual maturity faster than those in lower levels. Also lower levels of salinity tend to allow more predators into the ecosystem.

The fresh-water prawn will eat just about anything. In nature it will eat pieces of worms, snails, clams, fish, pieces of rice, wheat, beans, nuts,etc

Sand crabs breathe through gills located on their abdomen, which are used to extract oxygen from the water. They absorb dissolved oxygen from seawater by pumping water over their gills and then releasing it through openings called pleopods.

Prawns are omnivores and they typically eat algae, plankton, small fish, and decaying matter. They are scavengers and will also feed on various detritus and organic debris found in their environment. In captivity, they can be fed commercial shrimp pellets or flakes as well.

Shrimps grow in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They can be found in coastal waters, estuaries, and even some freshwater lakes and rivers. Shrimps usually live on the ocean floor, hiding in crevices or burrowing in the sand.

Prawns support biodiversity by serving as a food source for many predators and contributing to ecosystem balance and nutrient cycling. They can also increase biodiversity by creating habitat structure within their environment. Additionally, prawns themselves exhibit diversity within their own species in terms of physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat preferences.

The Hawaiian Blue prawn is a common prawn that originated in Malaysia. Macrobrachium rosenbergi has three different life stages in the male. The male prawn progresses in size from orange clawed to strong orange claw to blue claw. Adults gain their coloration as they age, which is typically regardless of diet and across regions. Buggas are good to eat though! Blake McNaughton Trained Marine Biologist Hilo Hawaii

Yes brine shrimp can have intercourse. Males and females can produce sexually, but also females can produce offspring asexually (parthenogenesis). Females can live up tp three months and produce up to 300 offspring every 4 days. Any other questions just ask Symantha Bollinger.
