Question

A new bacteria was introduced to the Antarctic ecosystem which dissolves the outer shells of crustaceans. What animal would be most affected by the death of this organism?

Emperor penguin
Fragilariopsis curta
Gentoo penguin
Blue Whale

Answer 1

it would be Fragilariopsis curta because it is part of the diatom subspecies of algae and has a hard bone like silica shell making it more like a crustacean than a true algae
